This week’s photo challenge is called Room – for us to interpret the way we feel. A room for me to love, must contain flowers and plants and it must contain books. As books and humidity don’t go that well together, my real dream will never come true. There will have to be at least two rooms… But, here’s a dream medley, finished off with what comes closest – in my home.
Books are of course essential in my room
And flowers – orchids are not wrong…
…colours and shapes…
…and divine compositions…
…in a warm stillness.
I admire people who don’t tear down buildings – but recreate. This is the old railwaystaion hall in Madrid.
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! A lovely opening about herself is:” Old enough to rant, too old to rave yet sufficiently young to forge a path into the future.“ Influencing people sounds great – as long as it is in a positive way – so accepting this feels great as well. I would like to point out that EVERY blogger in our community is influential in his or her own way. So, thank you All of you out there for inspiring!
Conditions For Accepting The Award
To accept this award, the awardee must do the following:

Please, check them all out – each one is influential in their own right, and offers us another unique perspective on our world!
My video is for all you positive inspirers! The song is stuck in my mind since I first heard it, and the clip is happy and warm hearted. Have a great weekend!
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?
Last week I was featured on Cee´s Photography – thank you so much, Cee – it’s an honour!
I have been away with my students for some days to Bohuslän, which is on the west coast of Sweden. Of course this means Water! One of the days we had the opportunity to go by boat with scientists from the University of Gothenburg to dig up animals and plants from the bottom of the sea for examination. And we had a magnificent evening by Gullmarsfjorden.
A film tunnel that twists and turns..turning back time….A big surprise where we least expected it! Kristianstad was once a real film city and renowned as ”Little Paris” This tunnel contains old film memories of the great days back then in 1905 and the 20th C. This week Kristianstad celebrated its 400 years´ jubilée – and the King and Queen attended.
Ailsa’s theme this week is about metal. New Zealand again – Metal things found in the sea, metal for a playground in Auckland, for the Zoo, and works of art for the harbour in Auckland. Mostly impressed I was by the most beautiful dustbins I have ever seen – and for the water in the street …have you ever seen such a marvellous detail?
Lund University is one of Europe’s oldest universities. It is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 universities and traces its roots back to 1425. Lund University has eight faculties with additional campuses in the cities of Malmö and Helsingborg, with 47,000 students.
The Lund Carnival – Lundakarnevalen…a total of 400 000 spectators in two days. I enjoyed being there again after all these years (- I believe about 35?). This time because my daughter was participating. More than 1000 students are in the parade and their inventive abilities seem to be inexhaustible…I caught only a few of them.
Even younger hat
This celebration of the arrival of Spring started in 1849 and nowadays there are three years between them. The carnival is always built on a theme, and this year it was about our future.
Having Totti at my feet (we couldn’t find a parking in the shadow) I had to move around as best I could…and, in fact I found myself enjoying the spectators inventiveness just as much as the parade itself.
