Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Colorful Monotones

Colorful monotones for Cee…but they still are a bit of pastell now in Spring! For more colours, click here.

Travel Theme: Outdoors

For Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? I have chosen my home outdoors – close to where I live. I spend most of my time walking there.

# 64 Farväl – Farewell (121/365)

Farväl – till vapnen. A Farewell – to Arms.

I Lund finns denna kopia av Reutersvärds berömda skulptur. En absolut favorit bland svenska konstverk.

Non-Violence is a bronze sculpture by Swedish artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd of an oversized Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver with a knotted barrel and the muzzle pointing upwards. Carl R. made this sculpture after singer, songwriter and peace activist John Lennon was murdered.

There are currently 16 copies of the sculpture around the world. An original standing outside the United Nations headquarters in NY.

Travel Theme: Spring

Spring is on its way here…but only slowly, slowly showing. Frost every night now – keeping the flowers and buds at bay. There are a few sunbathing butterflies and some shy anemonies though, for the most part hanging their heads in the cold wind. Signs otherwise? Seems to be all about twigs…birds, ants and humans alike!

# 362 Ögonkast – Glance (120/365)

Det var verkligen inte många av alla de hundratals råkor i Lund som spatserar, flyger, plockar pinnar, häckar – och smutsar ner… som ville agera linslöss, men den här gav mig i alla fall ett nyfiket ögonkast!

Not many of these rooks (hundreds of them during my walk in Lund) wanted to be photographed – but this one even glanced at me curiously…Even if they often are quite a nuisance – isn’t he/she rather a pretty one?
