2. Trollhätte CanalTrollhattan The Göta Canal is a Swedish canal constructed in the early 19th century. It formed the backbone of a waterway stretching some 614 km , linking a number of lakes and rivers to provide a route from Gothenburg on the west coast to Söderköping on the Baltic Sea via the river Göta älv and the Trollhätte kanal, through the large lakes Vänern and Vättern. The canal itself is 190 km long, of which 87 km were dug or blasted, with a width varying between 7–14 m and a maximum depth of about 3 m . It has 58 locks and can accommodate vessels up to 32 m long, 7 m wide and 2.8 m in draft. Göta Canal is a sister canal of Caledonian Canal in Scotland, which was also constructed by Thomas Telford.

Submarine late spring at ÖCKERÖ Island
One day last week was the rare both warm + windless day on the west coast outside Gothenburg --impossible to restrain oneself from taking a ferry for a freediving trip on the northern islands. This was also my 1st time to test the super-compact Sony Action Cam HDR-AS10 -- a competitor to all GoPro camcorders -- in the North Sea waters. The water was still about 10 oC (50 F) and so the delicate spring submarine colours were still there, as rich and beautiful as you can get them with a SONY. The better light sensitivity was also obvious -- but the downside was clearly the focal depth underwater, much better above the sea level. All in all -- this is an action camcorder.
