We went to a seaside resort for a couple of days – relaxing on the west coast of Sweden.
I took some new photos. This: Thursday evening on the beach. Click here for more new.
Nature
WPC: Half-Light
One of my favourite poets is William Butler Yeats – here a poem for the WordPress’ Challenge Half-Light.
He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven
William Butler Yeats
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Thursday Thoughts – A Man and His Dog
I have spent a couple of days at a seaside resort on the west coast. We had some sunshine and a slightly chilly wind, and enjoyed the stay very much.
Last night and late evening, we walked the pier before dinner.
Many dogs were out walking their masters, but I especially noticed this man and his best friend. They had that special friendship that made them play so well together.
The way it should be between man and dog. Between best friends.
Just watch them together. The listening and total understanding – no loud voices…
…but talking all the time…
Cooperation – and perfect understanding
Who needs anything more?
I wish you all a Happy and Joyful Easter Holiday!

Architecture and Giant Amazons
Den Blå Planet (The Blue Planet) opened in 2013 in Kastrup, a suburb of Copenhagen. It resembles a whirlpool when seen from above, and was designed by Danish architects It covers a total of 12,000 m2 (130,000 sq ft), including the 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft) building and 2,000 m2 (22,000 sq ft) outdoors.
The Blue Planet contains about 7,000,000 litres (1,500,000 imp gal; 1,800,000 US gal) of water divided into 53 exhibits. In the first year of existence, the aquarium received approximately 1.3 million visitors – twice as many as expected.
Just as the architecture is special and artistic, so are the giant freshwater fish from the Amazon. Look at those metal scales…and the intricate patterns on its head. Arowanas.
Surely man can never compete with nature in architecture.
Travel theme: Creative
I am working on a photo book for my parents, and came across this old photo…Some years ago there was a competition about recycling milk Tetra Paks, and my son and daughter immediately wanted to participate. Here is what they came up with. Sowing together all these by hand…Emma wearing the dress and David photographing and editing.
Not very comfortable…but they almost won the whole competition – second prize in Sweden!
Being creative is always great fun – click here for more!
Thursday Thoughts about Den Blå Planet, Denmark
Living in a bubble…Usually I am happy to live in My Own Bubble, my little world where I can shut out all the wars and disasters in this world and focus on the good things in life.
Sometimes I am happy that others live in their bubble and I can watch them, enjoy their beauty…from a safe distance.
Bubbles are useful, aren’t they?
