SL – WEEK 4 – Weird Holidays

For this week we are requested to show ”pictures of unusual and different holidays,” Well, on our holiday to Switzerland we took many lifts, boats and trains to get to our hiking starting points, or just to wonderful views. Riding this mountain train we passed these two…I guess Swiss people. A woman picking flowers and a man sitting almost naked in a chair – in the middle of a flower meadow.

SL- WEEK 1: Moi

Who I Am

In response to: http://www.sylvain-landry.com/sl-week/sl-week-1-moi.html

The task is to present yourself  with a photo, a selfie or something that defines you. I don’t know if I should participate at all as I’m neither invited nor a ”selfie-person”. But I will give it a try…

This is somewhat defining me…and the closest I will get to a Ganesha look, even if I greatly admire what he stands for.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Three Items for the Number Three

I was lucky to be featured last week on Cee’s site. Thank you! This week we should find three items or the number three. Here are some great flowers – and those in the middle are not the least great ones!

More of numbers here.

Mera Madrid – More of Madrid, People and Others

Madrid is one of my favourite cities, and of course I will take you for a walk once more. Hopefully you will recognize some places but not all of them!

The terminal – walking in – had a very nice arcitechture. This place was new to me as we normally don’t go here with Iberia.

Then Madrid met us with the same happy face as usual – but people and other little friends are always new and interesting.

One of my favourite places to go is the big city parc – Retiro. The Crystal Palace is the place where interesting exhibititions are up – this time the theme was nomad tents. The artist, Federico Guzmán.

Travel theme: Old-fashioned

Old-fashioned…what is that? For me it might have something to do with traditions as well – so, have a look at all the different interpretations of Old-fashioned !

This old-fashioned cap or hat is still used by all graduating students in Sweden. Its history is about 175 years old. And, we all still sing the special Students’ Song at the special dinner before being set free…and throw them in the air before running out into a completely new life…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Two Very Different Items

For Cee this week – two very different items... The lower part of this picture shows one of my students (in a bar in Madrid) and the upper part of the picture…

At least they both smile!
