Environment – Nature…was here first. Long before us. Here some photos from the exhibition I visited two weeks ago. Helene Schmitz, Dunkers, Helsingborg.

For more environment – go to Ailsa’s here.

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.

Warming water in a simple way, using the strong mountain sun.

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

A rather rich house, having a real stove outdoors.

# 248 Sanddyner – Dunes (77/365)

Idag har jag och sonen besökt en fantastiskt fin fotoutställning på Dunkers i Helsingborg – Borderlands, av Helene Schmitz. http://www.heleneschmitz.se/ En enda av dessa bilder hade jag sett tidigare, och den och många andra fotograferade jag naturligtvis(man fick göra det…). Hon arbetar mycket med relationen natur/människa, och utställningen behandlar flera projekt där naturen tagit över och människan tappat kontrollen över utvecklingen.

Sanddynerna har invaderat ett övergivet diamantbrytningscenter i Namibia.

Helene Schmitz, a famous Swedish photographer, shows some of her work at Dunkers in Helsingborg this spring. Borderlands. http://www.heleneschmitz.se/ The theme is the relation between nature and humans – how we in some cases have totally lost control, and nature rules unrestricted. One of her works I immediately recognized, and many of them I photographed (it was allowed).

The dunes have invaded an abandoned diamond town in Namibia.

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.

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!
