We had our yearly outing at Wanås castle, Viveka and I. Finally. This is something we look forward to every year – and even this ”lost” year, 2020, we made it happen.
Much of the art work and installations are the same, but each year there are new interesting artists and art on display. The forest linen and the mirror barn 2020.
These days the importance of friends is even more highlighted. What would our distanced lives be without them? And we can still visit exhibitions that are mostly outdoors.
Viveka (of Myguiltypleasures) is an inspirational and avid photographer, and her Oscar is always going warm when we are out. So, what is she photographing now?
Laetiporus sulphureus – or sulphur shelf. A very beautiful species of fungus growing on tree trunks and branches.
You can easily lose sight of Viveka as she often gets lost in her photography – but there is one unmistakable sign that helps me finding her again…her bag. Her striped bag. Whose bowels contain anything needed for a day out…including Oscar.

A friend to go on adventures with, a friend to chat with, and to share your thoughts with, a friend to hold your hand when you need it. Even virtually.
Thank you, Viveka, for being my friend – and Cheers – for future adventures together!

A-C, thanks again for the brilliant day … and this magnificent post. Fantastic images as always. I love the one with 2 ladies on the mirror floor. And the top one of the mansion, beautifully captured. A-C, you know I’m always here for …YOU! And I know where to find you. Trying to find out just now if that Poznan Ice Sculpture Festival is still on, could be another great adventure for us.
Thank YOu, Viveka! And well – hope they are still going for the sculptures and that we can go!
Yes, I really hope so … if not I will go anyhow, because I bought the flight. Christmas Market in Poland is never wrong… if there is going to be a Christmas Market. *smile
”If” is the word 2020…
…. but there is always 2021. *smile – If I can live with – No way .. is much harder.
;-D
How wonderful! Time spent with a friend soulful.

I’m insanely jealous that you and Vivi are geographically close enough to visit A-C. What a lovely way to spend the day. So happy for you both
Thank you, dear Tina, it is a joy whenever we meet!
Until now, Wanås castle was unbeknown to me. It looks like a wonderful place to meet, to explore and enjoy art, nature, architecture and more. Loved the installations and your lovely photo story, Ann-Christine. Stay well.
so glad you liked it, dear Dina! It is a place to return to, indeed. Stay well you too!
Oooops, A C, I meant in the last comment
Oh, I’m so pleased you met there, Vivi! And wish I could have joined you…..
And so do we!
Lovely 🙂
Thank you, Brian!
