Weekly Photo Challenge: Signs

And here is a second entry for Signs...because something is wrong and the rest of my photos could not be shown in the post – only in my post before hitting ”Publish”?

Who’s the owner?

What happened to the water?

On a church in Perth…

New Zealand – the land of signs!

A special vote for this one from Scotland – emitting warmth and care and love!

Uglies or Beauties?

A walk in a Blekinge forest with Totti – and I found quite some junk among the trees. Do I only see ugliness in these things…or maybe there is something more to them? I don’t like things being thrown out into nature like this, but this morning I decided to find some beauty in them instead. Just to not be the usual angry and disappointed one…And, it worked for me. Does it work for you as well?

Who’s who – or – Whose room is whose?

I have got two wonderful youngsters at home this summer – in a couple of weeks they will be back at university and my house will feel so empty. Now, both of them are active and creative people and they interact with a lot of other creative people. But…I think every parent knows how different their kids are even if they do have the same parents and – for the most part – about the same upbringing…

My son is 22 and my daughter is 24.

What picture belongs to the life of who?

Jag har två fantastiska ungdomar hemma den här sommaren. Om några veckor är de tillbaka vid sina universitet och huset kommer att kännas så tomt…Båda är kreativa och skapande människor, men ack så olika inom vissa områden…Alla föräldrar kan nog känna igen hur stora skillnader det är på barnen trots att de verkligen har samma föräldrar och i stort sett samma uppväxt.

Min son är 22 och min dotter 24.

Vilken bild visar ”vem” av de två?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrasts

Contrasts – impossible…couldn’t stop myself here…There are so many possibilities so it had to be a gallery. Some of them I have used before, but they work together as well! For more contrasts, click here.

Travel theme: World-Cups

World Cups for Ailsa! Warm light, tulips of course and – cupcakes. In Sweden they are ordinary muffins with a (buttercup) twist…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Extra Extra

Well, here’s my extra, extra story… On this wall you are supposed to write something special behind the little wooden doors…

Of course we did, and read about strange and wonderful things behind a lot of other doors as well…

We moved on, and on our way back again there was this gang of guys with black hats and clothes, speaking Italian. We asked politely what they were doing with the wall…

…and found out that this guy was getting married. So, his friends were doing a little something…special and extra for him…

…by opening and closing the little doors to display his name all over the wall!

Carnival!

Lund University is one of Europe’s oldest universities. It is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 universities and traces its roots back to 1425. Lund University has eight faculties with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and Helsingborg, with 47,000 students.

The Lund Carnival – Lundakarnevalen…a total of 400 000 spectators in two days. I enjoyed being there again after all these years (- I believe about 35?). This time because my daughter was participating. More than 1000 students are in the parade and their inventive abilities seem to be inexhaustible…I caught only a few of them.

This celebration of the arrival of Spring started in 1849 and nowadays there are three years between them. The carnival is always built on a theme, and this year it was about our future.

Having Totti at my feet (we couldn’t find a parking in the shadow) I had to move around as best I could…and, in fact I found myself enjoying the spectators inventiveness just as much as the parade itself.
