I choose wood this time, for Cee. This very old cupboard of wooden lockers I found at the long bowling club in Galashiels, Scotland. I just adore it. Still very much in use!

Home again
After being totally enchanted by Scotland and the Scots – I hardly know where to begin…so much to catch up on of reading and so much to tell!
First of all, I want to thank my blogging friend Seonaid at breathofgreenair, for having us a whole delightful evening in her lovely home. Unforgettable hospitality and my admiration is neverending. More time – I think both of us wished for that…. Hopefully we will meet again – I still have not experienced the Tattoo either…
If it hadn’t been for Seonaid’s advice – we’d never had seen her beautiful Plockton near the Isle of Skye. A drizzle early in the morning, but the views truly calm and serene. Not a wind.
For some seconds – a little less rain. Light unbelievably…light and soothing.
Not many people were out this early morning. No hurry. A lifetime of Time it seemed…
Suddenly there were more colours, more life. Flowers everywhere. The rain had stopped.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Squares-Triangles-and-Angles
This challenge made me think about how many of these squares, triangles and angles we find in an ordinary house – in this case an old cottage, a ”Blekingestuga”. For more on this theme – click here.
In the tiny rooms of this particular cottage, everything from ceiling to floor seems to be made up of these angles…
Miss Jenny Samuelsson from Kuggeboda, Blekinge, gave this cottage to the museum – now to be visited by everyone coming to their garden.
From the outside you can see the tinyness of this cottage – a remembrance of how poor people used to live in the old days.
Turning my lens to the modern buildings just some 50 metres from this cottage – the houses still have these angles and squares …and colours. A brilliant merge of old and new architecture.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrasts
Contrasts – impossible…couldn’t stop myself here…There are so many possibilities so it had to be a gallery. Some of them I have used before, but they work together as well! For more contrasts, click here.
Travel theme: World-Cups
World Cups for Ailsa! Warm light, tulips of course and – cupcakes. In Sweden they are ordinary muffins with a (buttercup) twist…
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?
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!
Weekly Photo Challenge: Split-Second Story
Split-second stories, two of them, both chosen from trips done in May this year.
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?
