I don’t know if this qualifies as a ”twist”, but I was playing around with photosketcher – and this is the result. Find more twists here.

This challenge made me think about how many of these squares, triangles and angles we find in an ordinary house – in this case an old cottage, a ”Blekingestuga”. For more on this theme – click here.
In the tiny rooms of this particular cottage, everything from ceiling to floor seems to be made up of these angles…
Miss Jenny Samuelsson from Kuggeboda, Blekinge, gave this cottage to the museum – now to be visited by everyone coming to their garden.
From the outside you can see the tinyness of this cottage – a remembrance of how poor people used to live in the old days.
Turning my lens to the modern buildings just some 50 metres from this cottage – the houses still have these angles and squares …and colours. A brilliant merge of old and new architecture.
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.
Every year we go for a short walk among the old wooden houses and the roses in Bergslagen, Ronneby. https://lagottocattleya.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/9685/
As you can see from last year, compared to now, the roses are here already. Everything in nature is early this year, and we all wonder what flowers will remain for us to see in July? I hope you enjoy the old houses and their sometimes equally old roses.
Cee’s imagination is neverending! Crooked and squiggly lines – here they come! Why don’t you join in too?
On visiting my blogger friend Maria of MariaYarri, in Jämtland this winter, she showed me a glimpse of the famous Copperhill in Åre.
Åre is a major ski resort in Jämtland, and this lodge is as shiny and extraordinary as it is expensive to stay in…
I was fortunate to live at Maria’s instead. And everything was excellent there – food, service, conversation, entertainment, company and guiding during the days. This beats Copperhill – not a chance I would have changed my lodgings!

Monument of an old, once great, lost culture. Today’s China is growing great in another sense.
From Cee this week – patterns. Mine are rectangles from a church roof and rings from a bird in the lake. Very different but they give me a nice feeling both of them.

Threshold is the WordPress challenge this week – and the concept might be interpreted in several different ways. I have chosen the thought of walking through an open door into another world.
Tibet and the Sera monastery – the threshold to the debating courtyard where monks are training and enhancing their knowledge of the scriptures and how to interpret them. The debating is fairly lively and very entertaining to watch.
This open door signifies the threshold to the basilica of la Sagrada Família in Barcelona. A room of contemplation and spiritual enlightenment.
