for Luke Skywalker



Well
Today should have been the BIG day.
The day when the swedes colonized space.
Reaching further, higher and faster then any other swede ever had.
Flying high above in a tincan like major Tom.
Our own Luke Skywalker.
but what happend?

Fuglesang brought the swedish regnglopp weather to sunny florida.
and one cannot fly a rocket in that kind of weather.
Not in regnglopp.
One could hardly drive a bicycle.
With or without kevlar undies.

the first one -- my god, what a beautiful image!!!

I think no Swedes in space is probably okay. Imagine them wandering around up there in those Viking hats.

Very nice and as a mirrror or a landscape. The floating by thing. Time visible in many ways...

A little like Miles Davis and I got rythm...
