From: ah on 7 Dec 2007 15:46 I am not sure now if you'll ever read this, as this thread is starting to be a bit ancient but let's try anyway. Goteborg, yes, I have been there, long ago, I think that we took the ferry somewhere in Denmark (perhaps Frederickshavn?) and arrived in Goteborg then drove all the way to the North Cape through Norway and back across Finland & Sweden. I have a great admiration for Bergman. Actually he is my soulmate, alter ego, god, cinemawise. I find his films extremely powerful. I feel everything strongly but don't have his genius to express myself. The day after he died, i.e. on the 31st of July 2007 we did a climb in the French Alps. I asked my alpinist friends that we dedicate the climb to Ingmar Bergman, and they all accepted. Just in case you would be interested, the photographs of the climb are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicc/sets. Bergman's climb is the Tsanteleina 3,606m. Yes, I am interested in caves, thank you for the tip. -- ah "�r Freud" <drfreud(a)mymail.com> wrote in message news:fj1laf$dsi$1(a)news.datemas.de... > On 03.12.2007 18:32 , ah wrote: >> No, the Bergman week is not really new.

From: ah on 7 Dec 2007 15:49 Thank you very much for this link. Yes, Uppsala, of course. I searched for Str�msberg in Google maps and found 4. - Str�msberg, Tierp, Uppsala - Str�msberg, Karlskrona, Blekinge - Str�msberg, 66298 �m�l, V�stra G�taland - Str�msberg station I tried the four of them and in the end Str�msberg Tierp seems to me the most probable, as it is North of Uppsala so it could perhaps be upland? But it is just a guess, of course. About Ransjo, I found Ransj�v�gen but I am not sure it is the one. About Tureholm Castle, Google found a reference: from 1738, located in the outskirts of Trosa. Trosa & Dillnas are both South West of Stockholm. It looks like I am progressing, thanks to you all. -- ah "Joe Pessarra" <joepessarra(a)suddenlink.net> wrote in message news:HKY4j.2111$Ft5.860(a)newsfe15.lga... > > "ah" <anonewsgr(a)hotmail.com> wrote in message > news:13krbnnjb4mscc5(a)corp.supernews.com... >>I looked for this place in Google maps but could not find it.

I was just about to ask you what hmhmhmhm..makes anyone climb such a high mountain when you easily could fly even higher without any effort at all... but after having seen the photos I kind of saw the answer to that one.. really breathtaking. I�m sure he would have loved that trip himself... and who knows... maybe he did. After all...everything is possible, right? Hope you�ll be having a real great trip to Faro & Gotland.. |
