Granite is hard
Sigfrid Lundberg's Stuff 2014-09-03
He sat on his knees and started to penetrate the tiles with hammer and chisel. I pulled my camera and just before I pressed the shutter, he stretched his back.
He noticed me taking the photograph.
It is hard!
he said.
What kind of stone is it?
I asked.
Granite
said he.
Then he bent down and continued to penetrate the stone.
Today I decided to return and have a look. New nice tiles. Slightly more gray. Don't know what he was up to.
None of my business, anyway.

NB
My name is Sigfrid Lundberg. The stuff I publish here may, or may not, be of interest for anyone else.
On this site there is material on photography, music, literature and other stuff I enjoy in life. However, most of it is related to my profession as an Internet programmer and software developer within the area of digital libraries. I have been that at the Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen (Denmark) and, before that, Lund university library (Sweden).
The content here does not reflect the views of my employers. They are now all past employers, since I retired 1 May 2023.
