5 Days Black & White Challenge: Day five

 

Cottage in the park.

 

For this challenge –

the rules are simple:

1) post a black & white photo daily for 5 days

2) Invite someone different to participate each day. (because no one wants to play alone!)

For Day 5, I am happy to invite  Srdjana at https://srdjanapajevic.wordpress.com/ She is an excellent photographer and it would be great to see her in this 5 days B&W.

No strings attached if you don’t feel up to it.

 

# 326 Under ytan – Under the surface (92/365)

Den här byggnaden kör jag förbi varje dag, och har tänkt stanna många gånger…men visst är man oftast stressad? Idag stannade jag för att se vad som gömde sig under ytan..

I’m passing this building, but today I decided to stop and check out what was hidden under the surface.

Travel Theme: Energy

Energi – Energy, almost the same word in both languages. And from the people of Tibet in the Himalayas, I send pictures for Ailsa’s theme, showing some of their most useful energy sources.

The sun, the water and the dung.

This little water works is for digging the yellow clay to make incense.

A rather rich house, having a real stove outdoors.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Symmetry

Symmetry is a phenomenon soothing to the eye and soul. My two symmetries are from Denmark. The first one is a roof in the picturesque town of Köge and the second one is from the train to Köge.

 

Eget tema 1: Säcka – Sagging (68/365)

Det här lilla huset kör jag förbi ibland – undrar hur långt ner det kan säcka innan det faller samman?

This little house has been a sagging sight for several years – I wonder how much longer before it will fall apart totally.

# 88 Fäbod – Shack where you keep cattle/Mountain farm (64/365)

I Skåne kallar vi det här för fäbod, medan ordet har en lite annorlunda betydelse längre norrut i Sverige.

A play with words, but still this has to do with people keeping animals. In Skåne ”fäbod” doesn’t mean exactly the same thing as in northern Sweden. Up there it is more a mountain farm.

 

Travel theme: Doorways

 

I know there are many of us who love doors, so I will not tire you with too many…only three. One from Tibet, one from Gdansk, Poland and one from my home town in Sweden. If you didn’t know my favourite colours before – you will now!

# 62 Farkost – Boat (60/365)

Från en resa till Peru och Titicacasjön 1987. Uroindianernas vassbåtar är fantastiskt välbyggda – alla som känner till Thor Heyerdal och Ra och Ra II, vet hur mycket de tål.

Här får lammskinnet vara vågorna.

From a trip to Peru and Lake Titicaca in 1987. Reed boats are still used among the Uru indians and the famous Thor Heyerdahl proved to the world how much they can take, sailing Ra and Ra II.

My lamb skin rug will be the heavy waves here…

# Flagnar – Flaking off (30/365)

Döda stammar är ofta vackra när de flagnar. Färger och mönster som annars inte är synliga bryter fram.

Dead trunks bring out patterns and colours unseen before.
