Once a year, go somewhere you have never been before – Dalai Lama
Tina allows us all to take a break this week, and I am just back from a lovely break together with my family. The best way for me to enjoy life!
We went to Denmark this weekend, the whole family, and watched the Danish wake-board championships together with many enthusiasts.
The weather was great, and the competitors skilled.
The only means of transport needed in summer!
Afterwards we decided to go for the sand sculpture exhibitions – and they were spectacular too. But, what I enjoyed the most, was being together with my children.
Find what brings you joy and go there. – Jan Phillips
On coming home this afternoon, I walk in my garden, among the flowers, listening to the late summer fluttering of tiny wings.
The Painted Lady is watching me, closely.
When she turns around, I admire her intricate outfit. And I feel good.
Welcome to join in the challenge!
For Frank this week – Nights in Copenhagen and Madrid. Miss them…The header from Madrid is one of my absolute favorite night shots. Maybe because of the lovely memories with my students there, the Flamenco dancers in Villa Rosa, and the glass of fruity red wine while watching the electric flamenco.
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Unusual Perspective
The Kites at the Fanö festival, Denmark, was sometimes totally out of perspective..
Fanö is a very small island west of Esbjerg, Jylland, Denmark. Go to Vivekas site for more love of this island and more interesting facts!
We started out to get to the Rindby beach on the west coast by 10am – which was the time said for the kite flyers to start. Some of them had been there for two weeks, but June 14-17 was marked for the finishing festival. Non commercial and 5000 enthusiasts – besides the three of us…Viveka, (Myguiltypleasures) , me and my husband.
They come from all over the world…and they all make their own kites from sailcloth and nylon fiber. Some kites are made in a couple of hours, but some take weeks to make.
To give you a taste of what this is all about – here is a short youtube introduction:

To give you something of my own taste – here we go…am:
Wishing you all a lovely Midsummer!
I’ll be back Sunday with the afternoon kites…if you haven’t got enough of them! I haven’t… Or better yet – go visit Fanö yourselves – you will love it!
Just returned from the beautiful Danish island, Fanø, where they host the International Kite Flyer Meeting every summer since 35 years.
But first, I think I will give you a short glimpse of what this small island has to offer – before we fly away with the kites. Because, we arrived late and got the keys to our lovely Blue Guesthouse…
Then we took a first walk down the street…and found all the thatched roofs and this one – a gorgeous moss roof…
Later in the evening they opened the top window – and you will find it in the header…
As we silently strolled along the cobbled streets, dusk finally caught us. But it never gets really dark this close to Midsummer…
So, finally we had to return to our house – tomorrow we were heading to the beach and the kites. We already felt there would be some great days ahead.

Well – it had to be a lagotto of course…and a Lego Lady (or two).
