International Women’s Day 2019
Even if she is far too young to be called a woman, Greta Thunberg is the first name on the list from a poll made by one of our most important evening papers:
Rent allmänt, vilken svensk kvinna tycker du har utmärkt sig särskilt positivt under de senaste 12 månaderna? Generally speaking, what Swedish woman do you believe excelled in the most positive way during the last 12 months?

Keep up the good work, Great, Greta ♥ And mother, going on 84, having forest fika –
I love you ♥!

Thursday Thoughts – Oaks and Hazel in All Directions
Have you ever stopped to look at a view from all directions – tried to memorize it and then photographed it? I think it makes me more firmly rooted. In the header – North.
An unknown country road on a sunny February day – no wind. East.
Three sides photographed now – West.
When I walked out in the middle of the road here, I felt I had at least three thoughts, besides how beautiful the oaks were: I hope there are no cars coming… I wonder when this road lost its gravel? I wonder how many farms were connected by it from the start? – Now I wonder what your thoughts might be? I love country roads – they hold a special place in my heart, so, how about you?
And finally, South.
How I love the naked winter trees against the blue sky.
Wordless Wednesday
Tuesday Photo Challenge – Round
Tuesday Photo Challenge – Round
The world is spinning – round. But not much is really, really round, is it? For Frank:
Still, there are many quite round things that I really love…like Dalí’s art and his home in Figueres, Spain. And the Beehive in Kew Gardens!

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #35: Architecture
As Amy’s challenge this week is Architecture, I invite you to follow me to Umeå for a visit to a very special hotel.
The Grand Hotel in Umeå, by architect Viktor Åström, was built 1894-95. The facade is in neorenaissance. Close up to this beauty is U&Me Hotel, opened in 2014, by architects from Snøhetta, and interior design by architect- and design Stylt Trampoli.
The more than 120 years old Seafarers’ House and Grand Hotel in central Umeå has been exquisitely renovated, and the concept of historic influences from the seven seas is so unique that the hotel was elected World’s Best New Boutique Hotel 2014.
The whole interior is spectacular…
and some pieces remind you of a shipwreck.
The old Grand Hotel is closely connected to (a real juxtaposition) U&Me, something that feels a bit awkward from the outside – while the inside might be described as a smooth swim through a coral reef…
Thank you, Amy, for an inspiring challenge and the opportunity to follow in your footsteps to one of the new seven wonders of the world!
