“We are dealing with something that has never occurred on this planet” My husband and son just returned from Chernobyl last week – very taken with the 2 day tour and all the haunting sights. We all watched this series together this week. If you have not seen it yet – please do. Among my […]Read Post ›
You don’t need a framework. You need a painting, not a frame. – Klaus Kinski I guess most of us love things framed to help us follow lines and reveal the artist’s intentions with his/her work. At least if we put them on our wall at home or go to an exhibition. Now Amy challenges […]Read Post ›
For Paula this month – my favorite prompt!
I love things new and things old, architecture and juxtaposition of styles. Things dilapidated, things science fiction, things…Well, maybe we all do. Hope a mix will be enjoyable this Thursday!

This is a U-shaped valley in Lapland in northern Sweden, and one of the most familiar and famous natural sights of the mountains there. Driving towards the Norwegian border, we left lake Torne Träsk behind us heading for the […]Read Post ›
