In fact maybe the most astonishing one I have ever seen – and I visit in every country and every city I go…But this particular garden is very well thought through, which shows in its architecture and its natural environment. (It was a Swede that started it, Sventonius.)
So, the Canary Islands’ Botanical Garden, situated just west of Las Palmas, in Tafira Baja, is well worth a visit – and not just because of its cactus garden. Let us go, tomorrow!

Ascend –
There are many interpretations possible – as many as there are people in the world – that is the idea with this weekly challenge, and that is why I like it!
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter Q – Simply needs to have the letter Q
Equestrians in the header and one of the many squares in the Forbidden City, Beijing.
More, more…of coziness – this time at Harastorp! Still rain, but at least warm by the fire…
This little friend I was terribly tempted to take with me home…
Isn’t he just adorable?
Asking for a favorite this week makes it difficult for me…so I hope it is OK if I choose two! One more abstract (a shopping center ceiling somewhere in the world) and the other of a quiet moment with an old couple reading newspapers. I bet a daily custom for them.
Today a short visit to the nearest town and the first market this Christmas.
Raining…when there should be white everywhere…but we had fun anyway!
Many surprises awaited the children of course…and the sweets and almonds got bought – and eaten – by grow-ups as well.
Indoors, first the main building and then the wings. A beautiful old mansion, once belonging to my husband’s uncle. Now, since many years belonging to the city.
Some hundred exhibitions with everything home made – from sausages and marmalade to clothes and candles. I always say I will not buy anything…but…
Welcome to the Glass Bar at Kosta Boda Art Hotel – care for a cool drink?
The designer is Kjell Engman, and the colour is – Blue –
After a relaxing chat over a drink in the bar, admiring the architecture as well as the atmosphere, we had to see the brasserie as well before dinner.
Totally different, with a laid back and cozy atmosphere. Fly me to the moon…in a glass balloon…
A delicious dinner was waiting, so we reluctantly had to leave. In fact, I went down to the bar once more, before leaving next day. To me, this was the ultimate feast for the eye –
– the only drink needed. We will be back.
How about waking up in the middle of an art exhibition…This text meets you in the suite’s book about Kosta Boda Art Hotel. So, let us go!
Along the corridors and in the lounge, the wall art is astonishingly beautiful. The magnificent lamp and the interior of the reception lounge is designed by Bertil Wallien.
The violin and the lady walking along the road with baobab trees is artwork made by Kjell Engman.
Just keep on walking – you are surrounded by exquisite artwork – and you are allowed to buy most of them…
This piece shows you a different face from every direction, walk around it and marvel at the skills with which it was made!
Our restaurant, Linnea, and the stairway down to the spa area.
Some of my favorites…
Thank you for walking with me tonight – tomorrow, let us cool down in the brasserie and the otherworldly, blue glass bar – the only one of its kind in the world.
Experimental…at least maybe a little. I love mirrored motifs, and often cannot resist taking a photo. Here, in Lodz, I was just going to press the button…when I realized the photo might be a bit more intriguing if I chose to enclose the ”real” buildings to the left of the house as well. What is really ”real” in the picture and what is ”unreal”?
Was the result of the experiment a more fun/interesting picture or not? Well, as I did not shoot an alternative picture, we do not know, but we can still have an opinion!
