For this week’s challenge, Patti has chosen History. At first I wanted to write about Riga, the capital of Latvia, whose history begins as early as the 2nd century. But inspired by a visit there, I have chosen a piece of puppetry history instead – an art form very much alive in Latvia. According to […]Read Post ›
Friendly Friday – and Mistakes. In the header, a street in Copenhagen with a very famous Danish toy figure trying to amuse a little girl – but she started crying and ran away to hide behind her dad… And below, the mistake of leaving your tasty bit unattended…
Sunrise is the challenge of the week – and indeed…it was a challenge! I do not have many sunrises on photo. But, some years ago we went to Lake Hornborgasjön where thousands ans thousands of cranes gather every spring on returning to Sweden form southern countries. That spring, that special day, more than 16 000 […]Read Post ›
My favorite challenge is this one, for Paula at Lost in Translation – and this month I had to look up three of the five words – so, thank you for the new things I learned! inversion – sorry, I know it, but have no photo to show it! Smog is a thing it brings […]Read Post ›

We have a tiny cottage there, where we spend some lovely summer weeks every year. Our summer house is small, […]Read Post ›

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Round The world is spinning – round. But not much is really, really round, is it? For Frank: Still, there are many quite round things that I really love…like Dalí’s art and his home in Figueres, Spain. And the Beehive in Kew Gardens!

The facade is in neorenaissance. Close up to this beauty is U&Me Hotel, opened in 2014, by architects from Snøhetta, […]Read Post ›
Amanda (Something to Ponder About) asks us: ”Have you ever experienced a ‘Sliding Door’ moment? Those moments when you made a choice in life, that led to significant changes for you?” I have always loved the movie, Sliding Doors, and seen it several times over the years. Gwyneth Paltrow is never wrong either. But first […]Read Post ›
This week Frank, at Dutch Goes the Photo, challenges us to find some layers. The glaciers of New Zealand provide magnificent layers in stone, and as a contrast, colourful clothes can also be displayed in layers. A bit less sustainable though…
