Silent Sunday

Travel theme: Playing
In the header – playing old viking games. From a trip to Scarborough some years ago.
A good friend of ours playing at his own wedding
Mmm, another of my favourite dogs!
And these two are the top two! And they could play…the whole day without getting tired!
WPC: Transmogrify
WPC this Friday – Transmogrify.
Transmogrify into something distorted and ugly or into a work of art? This house in Bilbao reflects and mirrors a bridge where a red car is passing.

The first two from Bilbao – Guggenheim museum. You see through the the first window glasses – but also see behind you mirrored. The second you only see through.
And a lovely little cat…
…from Greyfriars’, Edinburgh.
Thursday Thoughts – From Totti
So, I think it is time for me to take you on a guided tour …a typical day in the forest – for Me! Here we go…
Mmm, so what do you think? I doubt it that you are having just as much fun when you are out hiking! But I hope you enjoyed my little tour! OK, the shower next…

Wordless Wednesday

CFFC: Houses and/or Barns
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Houses and/or Barns
A great topic from Cee – again! Here is a couple of my favourite houses and – what is left of an old barn…
I fell in love with this little abandoned house in Riga.
And this painted house in Switzerland is rather spectacular.
Time For Colours and Reflections
We have not had much sun up here in Skane, where I live, so I feel lucky to have caught a few glimpses of the glory around me this autumn. I will share some of my favourite captures in this post. I hope you have a wonderful autumn- or spring – as well!
This day there was a chance to get some glimpses of the sun. So, I headed up the winding road to Hovdala.
All the pretty cows watching me from uphill. Comforting – cows always give me a good feeling. I hoped so much for some rays to come through.
The view from up here is not so bad. I go here every season to enjoy. Even the lake can be seen from here, Lake Finja.
Rays much longed for – came when my car was parked and I was hiking towards Hammarmölledamm!
And this, was what I got. Every shot had to come when there was a rift in the clouds, and finally Totti was very tired of me…despite his almost neverending patience…
As usual, click for the larger view of the photo.
Time For Colours
This time of the year can be absolutely stunning in colours and fresh air- and this year it really was. Even if the wether has not been the best possible, my walks and hikings have truly lifted my spirits.
So, I too, will do some posts on Autumn Colours. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did posting them.
In a previous post I started off in the little village Vittsjö, here in Skåne. This old stone bridge is to be found there as well. Every year I take some photos of it, usually on my way home from work…But, as I do not work now, I do not drive along these roads anymore. Suddenly I felt the urge to see the Vittsjö autumn clothes this year too.
I stopped several times on the road further west, towards the coast. How long would the weather be with me? The promise was for the whole day…
Through the forest and westwards there is a very meandering little road that I love to drive. Maybe not in the winter months though…
If you follow my blog, you know how much I love trees and country roads and paths with grass in the middle. Totti agrees with me in this! We walked this road for half an hour – without reaching the end of it.
Even though I love the smell of newly cut wood, I feel sorry for the fallen trees. On the other hand, we still use much wood when building houses in Sweden – and who does not want a really beautiful floor?
As the evening light was upon us, I turned back and drove homewards. Still some favourite catches though – this stony meadow with its fallen trees and warm and cold colours in a mix.
A drizzling mist was making it even darker, but a stone fence is always a stone fence. I always think of all the hard work behind it. So many hours of heavy and tough gathering first and then also the elaborate work to put the stones together in a sustainable construction. If you tear down a stone fence in Sweden, you will have to rebuild it again. And pay for it yourself.
