Idag var en utedag med bloggvännen Viveka (My Guilty Pleasures) i Malmö. Det är fantastiskt roligt att träffas i verkligheten! Nu är det nog tredje eller fjärde gången vi ses, så vi börjar bli vana. Lite ”nattsudd” kommer här – a´ la Viveka/Ann-Christine.
Today was a day of fun with Viveka (My Guilty Pleasures) – never a dull moment…in Malmoe. Both of us are camera freaks…so here’s a lump of Late Night Blur (!) from us. (My camera…)
Jag sitter helst vid ett fönsterbord när jag är ute på café eller restaurang. Och jag är en stolperson – inte en soffperson. vilken sort är du?
I prefer to sit by the window if I’m allowed to choose. And I’m a chair person – no sofa person. What kind of person are you?
En gärdsgård har många skönhetsvärden. I det arbete som lagts ner av människohand, i placeringen av stenarna och i dess ålder och ”beklädnad”. Med tiden kan de också falla isär, men vara vackra ändå.
A stone fence is a thing of beauty in many ways. The hard work made by hand and the craftsmanship developed in placing the stones correctly, and also the age of the fence and its covering. An old stone fence will sooner or later fall apart if it’s not well kept – but is still a thing of beauty.
Gamla stenbyggnader är oftast mycket vackra. Man lade sig vinn om att göra mönster av olikfärgade och/eller olikformade stenar. Den enklaste byggnad blev till ett smycke.
Det ligger ett vackert gult trähus ute i skogen. Någon enstaka gång har jag sett människor där, och nya fönster är ditsatta, men här finns mer att göra.
A late night’s walking close to St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome. A thin drizzle made the beauty of it even more golden.
Yellow is a very strong and happy colour, life giving and stands for intellect. In some countries in the West, it’s representing cowardice, but in Old China it was the Emperor’s colour, the most beautiful and prestigious colour of all.
According to Wikipedia, the word ”yellow” comes from the Old English geolu, geolwe (oblique case), meaning ”yellow, yellowish”, from the Indo-European base, gʰel-, as the word yell; gʰel- means both bright and gleaming, and to cry out.
Wearing yellow though, is not easily done for everybody – but looks stunning on people with dark or tanned skin, and preferably, dark hair. Lucky you who can shine in this beautiful colour!
To me, yellow means sun, spring and autumn. And, of course, the yellow houses in Denmark! For more of Yellow, click here.
Bridges – Night and day, they are all in Rome. The Vatican, Castel S. Angelo and Unknown…
For more bridges, go to Cee – click here.
One of my favourites where I live – the abandoned silo building. Ugly maybe, but has still got a certain attraction. A home for birds and skaters!

First of all I would like to thank you, Cee, for being featured last week! I’m honoured!
This week is a bit more grim…for Joints I cannot stop thinking of my visit to Rome and the Crypt of the Capuchins.
My reaction on entering this ossuary, was at first a bit violent…but after walking the thirty metre long corridor with all niches decorated with human bones and skulls, the hanging lamps made of vertebrae and whole skeletons standing watch – I got used to it and could almost admire the fantastic patterns once made by the monks. I read somewhere that the bones of about 4000 monks were used to build this scenery, starting in the 17th century and finished not until the end of the 19th century.
”What you are now, we once were; what we are now, you shall be.” This is the memento mori written down here, in three languages.
As no one was allowed to take photos, I bought some cards and photographed them instead. This is the Crypt of Skulls.
