# 9 Backspegeln – The rear view mirror (66/365)

På väg hem ikväll var det ovanligt ljust och klart. Även i backspegeln.

On my way home tonight the light was clear and bright. Even in the rear mirror.

# 334 Utmärkt – Marked (65/365)

En god vandringsled är alltid utmärkt – oftast med målade cirklar eller streck på stolpar eller stenar. I Vedema står det här monumentala döda trädet och visar vägen.

When hiking the paths are always marked to show the direction. Often with paint on stones or posts. In Vedema this monumental dead tree is showing the way.

# 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.

 

# 288 Stamställe – Favourite place/Place with trunks…(Play with words) (62/365)

Vi går ganska sällan ut och äter…så det här är mitt eget stamställe.

We seldom eat out on restaurants, so we have no real favourite place where we go often. This is my ”place with trunks”!

# 269 Smått – Tiny (61/365)

När min dotter var liten gillade hon allting smått. Av sin mormor fick hon en minimal kopparkaffepanna – här bosatt i en novemberkaktus.

When my daughter was a little child, she loved everything tiny. From her grandmother she got this tiny copper coffee pot – now sitting in a cactus in her room.

Travel theme: Doorways

 

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!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Express Yourself Fearlessly Like David Bowie

Adore this!

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.–Bruce Lee

It’s easy to spot the pretenders–the ones who are imitating others instead of expressing their true selves.  It takes courage to stand out and be different.  It’s not simply a matter of putting on a bright shade of lipstick, wearing edgy clothes, or dying your hair neon pink.  It has more to do with authenticity.  Expressing your unique thoughts and unique identity.

For me, an artist that epitomizes self expression is David Bowie.  We were lucky to get tickets to a recent exhibit about the artist and his work at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.   The show, called ”Bowie Is” reveals the range of the artist’s work in music, theater, film, costume design, and even hairstyles.

# 62 Farkost – Boat (60/365)

Från en resa till Peru och Titicacasjön 1987. Uroindianernas vassbåtar är fantastiskt välbyggda – alla som känner till Thor Heyerdal och Ra och Ra II, vet hur mycket de tål.

Här får lammskinnet vara vågorna.

From a trip to Peru and Lake Titicaca in 1987. Reed boats are still used among the Uru indians and the famous Thor Heyerdahl proved to the world how much they can take, sailing Ra and Ra II.

My lamb skin rug will be the heavy waves here…
