This is what happens when pharmaceutical companies aren’t being watched… The photo was taken at the inner harbour of Sandefjord and I don’t know what that in the water is, but it sure looks poisonous. If you live in Sandefjord an read the local paper on a regular basis you might have an idea who the culprit of this mess might be..
As for the photo, it has been adjusted for contrast, but that’s pretty much it. And since this is the first post in the photos category, I’ll let you know that I will try to make a point of including the relevant EXIF-data also in further posts.

One of the greatest things about festivals is that given the right state of mind (or enough alcohol) discovering new favourites is relatively easy. At the same time, actually buying their music can be a bit of a challenge. At least that was my experience after wandering the urine-soaked fields at the Roskile Festival in 2001. I sort of fell into a tent where a band that was unknown to me at the time was on stage. The band was Urlaub in Polen, from Austria if I’m not mistaken. The band name means “Vacation in Poland”.Anyway, their performance was quite impressive as the band only counts two guys, but four instruments + vocals. One guy on drums, vocals and keyboard in parts at the same time while drinking beer fast and chain smoking. The other guy played guitar and synths an sang lead. Their music is maybe best described as post-rock, and I suggest you Check them out on iTunes!
