This is not something I usually do, B&W, but …well, I’ll give Cee’s Black and White a try. This young man I found sitting on the wall in Greyfriars’ churchyard. We were slowly walking through the silence towards Greyfriars Bobby’s grave – the famous little Skye Terrier who faithfully stayed on his master’s grave for 14 years.
Then I saw him. Alone and contemplating he was – I just had to… not forget him. And everything was…black, white and grey.
WPC this week is about silhouettes – so, I’ve picked up a series from Gran Canaria. This was a velvet evening walking on the beach on our way home. A couple was standing there, when a ship with partying people came sailing.
Watch the postures of the two on the beach while the ship is passing…
At my age, I’m more often attending funerals than weddings… Luckily our children’s friends are coming of age…and on rare occations… we are invited to this great feast of joy – a wedding.
A mix of cultures makes these occations even more interesting. Enjoy a mix of pictures where the bride and groom entertain their hundreds of guests – playing and singing in a band. A lovely wedding for young and old, for musicians and everyone invited! Thank you!
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!
Ailsa, on Where’s My Backpack, is asking for something fresh – how about some fresh students from yesterday? The day you leave school, in Sweden you are nineteen, is one of the greatest days to remember. The world is open – new and fresh. Enjoy their happiness!
Sometimes I’m offered an award. I’m not playing along very often, but I’m always grateful that somebody thinks I’m worthy of it! And then, sometimes I feel I just Have to play along. (My heart is of course swelling…) Given the time too, and with no difficult answers to be given… Here we go!
A big Thank You goes to Across the Bored http://acrossthebored.com/ who has sent along a Most Influential Blogger award!

In the first picture we were travelling by bus, the students and teachers of the science program. On this narrow bridge we caught up with a young boy who took to biking as fast as he could to get to the other side. I understand his hurry…
Another trip was by car on a ferry to a small island. I think I captured the story in double frames?
