“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! Ursine – hope Milo counts… Earthward – have to try two to get it right? Morocko mountanins in the header and Bhutan dogs seen from our window. Coeval Connubial Adorned
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! A walk in contemplation… – as always… The old Jewish cemetery Abandoned places in the middle of the city In between old and new […]Read Post ›
Tuesday Photo Challenge – Reflection Good morning! Reflections are hard to resist, so I was too tempted not to send an entry…from Łódź, Poland, and the Light Move Festival.

We had a great view from our hostel Salteriet. Down the road we felt almost Chinese… I half expected an artist standing there, painting. When […]Read Post ›
Narvik was developed as an all-year ice free port for the Swedish Kiruna and Gällivare iron mines. In my youth I was here once, but did not go further out to Lofoten. This time we also took the train to Riksgränsen and back again. We got an interesting view of the new bridge connecting islands […]Read Post ›
In the header is Lapporten (Swedish: ”The Lapponian Gate”) or Tjuonavagge (Northern Sami: Čuonjávággi, ”Goose Valley”). 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 ›
