Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Straight Lines

Straight between Sweden and Denmark! Lines are important, and sometimes they just have to be straight…these ones are for Cee’s challenge – why don’t you join in?

Travel theme: Shine

For the Travel theme at Ailsa’s, something shining it should be…I chose this Flower chafer who was sitting in a heavenly white and pink peony where I  admired him for some minutes.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Crooked and Squiggly Lines

Cee’s imagination is neverending! Crooked and squiggly lines – here they come! Why don’t you join in too?

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Extra Extra

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!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Things with edges

Cee asks us for things with edges – these are pieces of edginess! The petroglyphs, or rock engravings, in Vitlycke are from 1000 – 500 BC. Ships, love and magic. We visited with the class in May.

People went to sea and they portrayed their grand ships. We went to sea as well, and at sea we found even more edgy creatures. Starfish and corals.

Travel theme: Fresh

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!

Weekly Travel theme: Unexpected

This picture was entered once before, but it still is one of my greatest surprises…totally unexpected. I was shooting the tree and the long cloud, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the plane turned up. Almost touching the snow, and without a sound to reveal it was coming. Quite suitable for Ailsa’a travel theme as well!
