Weekly Photo Challenge: Abandoned
Somehow I believe that this vessel is not totally abandoned – only for the moment. An owner will return some day. Hope is valuable to us all!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Threes
A short story about a plane, a tree and a cloud in Östersund. This is my contribution to Threes
Weekly Photo Challenge – Selfie
A hotel entre´ I couldn’t resist! Loved the table too…but to what use it was I couldn’t guess. Being beautiful only?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Object
Object – what’s an ”object”? The WP challenge this week made me choose a useful object, an object that I like, portrayed on the most beautiful summer’s day.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Juxtaposition
Juxtaposition är ett roligt ord, nästan onomatopoetiskt eller ljudhärmande, om du upprepar det några gånger…I Madrid hittade jag ett flertal exempel på sådana kombinationer av levande eller döda ting som befinner sig intill varandra och medvetet eller omedvetet bildar kontraster. Några fler, och bättre, finns i ett tidigare inlägg, här i the green wall.
Idag har jag valt fyra andra exempel. Det första sida vid sida, det andra ovanpå varandra, det tredje omringande varandra och i det sista exemplet klänger de sig fast vid varandra…
Juxtaposition is a funny word, and it sounds almost onomatopoetic when you pronounce it a couple of times…In Madrid I caught some of them…the juxtapositions. I know I used the green wall in an older post with (more and better than these…I won a competition with that one) juxtapositions, but this time I have picked another four examples. They do stand in contrast, the first one side by side, the second one on top of the other, then almost surrounding each other, and in the last picture they are clinging to one another.
Somehow it’s easy to find buildings and architecture showing this, but of course you find it everywhere if you just take a look around…Find more of juxtapositioning here!
Side by side
On top of each other
Side by side and surrounding

Weekly Photo Challenge: Family
Familj – de man känner mest samhörighet med, de som står en närmst. Oftast är det den egna familjen, bestående av kanske föräldrar och barn. Mitt bidrag blir min älskade Totti och hans ”tjej” och deras gemensamma valpar. Det var mycket spännande att se hur han skulle reagera när han mötte dem. Först mycket tveksamt – snarast lite rädd för de små…men det tog sig efter hand. Han nosade gärna med staket emellan…för de var ju lite oberäkneliga de där små. Kanske de ändå på något sätt visste att de hörde samman, för Totti var mycket snäll och de små oförväget nyfikna.
Jag behöver väl knappast förklara att Totti och Mille tillhör familjen?
Family – those who you feel closest to. Mostly your own family, parents and children. My entry is my beloved dog, Totti, his ”girlfriend” and his first puppies. It was exciting to see how well they got along, at first the little ones felt a bit scary to him, but later he was more confidently curious. The puppies adored him and were very curious from the start. Maybe they know somewhere that they are kin – I would like to think so.
I suppose I don’t have to explain that Totti and Mille belong to our family too?
First encounter outside the fence
Hello, little one!
Why…you are BIG…
Hey – are you our dad?
You stay there and sleep for a while now…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Windows
Fönster har alltid varit viktiga för oss – inte minst i länder där ljuset behöver komma in under de mörka vintermånaderna. När jag var barn hade man dubbla fönster med bomull/ull emellan och ibland eterneller därpå.
Inga fönster är mig kärare än de enkla fönster vi har i sommarstugan. De är mycket gamla, med flagnande färg och gistet trä som gör dem svåra att öppna och stänga. Men de är – Sommar. Det andra fotot visar S’t Mary’s Church i Scarborough, som har sällsynt vackra fönsterbågar.
Windows have always been important to us, and I think maybe especially in countries where they are much needed for the light during the dark winter months. When I was a child many windows were double and had a string of cotton or wool in between the two window glasses. Sometimes people decorated with flowers or herbs there as well.
To me, no windows are more beautiful than the simple old windows of our summer house. Their colouring is fading and their wooden frames so worn that they are no longer easy to open and close…but they are – Summer. The second photo shows St Mary’s church in Scarborough – where I simply fell in love with both the windows and their frames.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Joy
Last summer was – I think the most lovely summer I have ever experienced in Sweden. Warm, dry, sunny – soft water and light nights without stars. We stayed several weekends in late autumn in our summer house. which never happens ordinary summers. This September day I was walking the dogs, heading towards the small fishing village nearby. On the bridge I met this smiling, happy couple, standing there, admiring the beauty of nature, before going to the church. They were filled with joy that day, and in that moment. I just had to ask for a photo – and of course they said yes (!) with all that light shining from within! So proud of each other and so much in love…
