Corn

 The cornfields are harvested, leaving large stumps behind. Corn is a rather common plant on Öland, farmers grow it for feeding purposes, cows, pigs, chicken eat it and us humans use the corn on the cob or sweet corn. I really have no knowledge about growing corn, still I've always thought it's an ugly plant, lots and lots of green and  only a single corn on the cob. To me it's hard to understand how it's possible to grow such a massive plant without impoverish the soil. Then you'd have to add artificial fertilisers and lose the possibility to have a healthy, sustainable farming. I've just revealed my complete ignorance in these matters. Maybe someone can teach me how I ought to look at it.

During the mid term holiday when the schools are empty, there is a lot of small Corona friendly cultural events on offer. I went to see a dance performance filmed at the Malmö Opera house. It's a beautiful performance, like a dream among mythical figures and forest creatures and elfes. The performance is called "The feeling of going", see it if you can.
