Roadtrip 2013, towards Karlskoga, Kristinehamn and Karlstad

I am home being sick, so I thought I would share some pictures from my roadtrip that I did this summer..


The second day of my vacation.. I was out on the freeway again, aiming for Karlskoga first.
Doing "miles" on the E18 highway.. no AC in the car, but hey I got windows to wind down.. :)


Bofors headquarter. Weapon manufacturer here in Sweden
There were not much action in the town of Karlskoga (today). Very empty.. This is the weaponmaker Bofors here in Sweden. This is the headquarter (I think).. Looks like an old military building. I am always fascinated by industry that manufactures stuff. So when I find a company that I have heard of, I like to see it!


After that I contiuned to Kristinehamn. I was hungry and stopped at the first restaurang (pizza) that I could find.


I then took the pizza to go and tryed to find a nice place to eat it. The Picasso sculpture sounded interresting so I took left towards the archipelago of Kristinehamn.


This is were I ate the pizza. This is an inlett from the sea "Vänern". The biggest sea-lake in Sweden.


After getting something in my stomach I continued to the Picasso sculpture. Nice area! I think this place is called Vålösundet. People were hanging out and the weather was nice.


It turns out that the people were waiting for a boatrace to show up. I stayed a while and after a while some really fast boats came and this was some of the first boats to arrive. Here they have stopped racing. They started in Kalstad.


Well after that I got back into the car and continued to Karlstad. That was the goal for the day. In Karlstad I finally found this place (after much searching), south of the town Karlstad. Going past a dog club and some "kolonilotts" (perhaps allotment? not shure of the englai name. But it is like small
cultivable lands. People cultivatin potatoes and other vegetables). When setled I put out my solar panel to charge the battery, and writing on the laptop in the shadows.


This is me waking up early the morning after..I slept ok, even thouh I could hear the antennas buzz of energy..


Nuked by radiowaves.. Mobile pole
Picture of sleeping place from inside the car..I slept next to the antennas... Nuked by radiowaves.. Mobile pole. Well I didnt find any better place, and I thought that perhaps there isnt so much radiation at the bottom of the pole??


Well, more later.
