#263 A B&B in my taste
The next chapter in the series ”Unexpected Experiences” is written. This time it is a story of a small Bed & Breakfast in the Swedish countryside. And a mustery. And a music scene. But mostly it is about a dream of a man and his wife. A dream of creating a new life to an…
#262 Kyrkö Mosse Car Graveyard
Still in the deep forests of Småland. The place is called ”Kyrkö Mosse”. A sign beside the road; ”Car Graveyard”. A small parking is half full of cars and motor cycles. A handful of visitors can be seen between the trees. Nothing else is visible from the parking – we have to walk a little…
#261 The Kingdom of Glass
In the deep forests of Småland in the south of Sweden is a small and rather unknown kingdom; The Kingdom of Glass. Glass has been made in the area since the 18:th century. Today there are 13 active glassworks in the ”Kingdom”. Many of them are popular among tourists and thousands visit the glassworks every…
#259 Golden Times
You may have heard about the Swedish band Roxette. It was a huge success in the 1990:s and was known all around the world. They had hits like ”It must have been love” (theme from ”Pretty Woman”) and ”Joyride”. The band was built around Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson from Halmstad, Sweden. Sadly Marie passed…
#256 Lunch Music
I was walking through central Linköping during my lunchbreak today, as I heard a brassband somewhere in the vicinity. I followed the sound for a while and there it was. It turned out to be ”Östgöta Blåsarsymfoniker” (the Swedish name of the band) playing under the lead of two student conductors. People passing by stopped…
#265 The Accordion
When we least expect it, we can find our selves in situations we will remember for life. Things we will tell to our friends and smile to the memory. Such a thing happened to me today… A couple of weeks ago I put out an old accordion for sale. It once belonged to my wifes…
#264 Next chapter – the Leica M10
As I wrote in a prior post, my Leica MP240 has a little flaw. Nothing big – but it needed to go to Leica to get a minor repair. My plan was to try and find an M10, buy it, send my MP to Leica and then sell it as it comes back a couple…
#263 Tonight in Uppsala
Some shots from Uppsala this evening. Nice weather in a nice part of the city. Liked the colors of the buildings… There are a couple of these vaults in the buildings near the Cathedral. I can’t help my self from taking a frame or two every time I am here. Today I tried a slight…
#262 Colors in Stockholm
Work night in Stockholm. Went for a short evening walk in the blocks around my hotel. The small park ”Humlegården” was full of life. Nice to see so many people having a good time playing games, eating, walking, sightseeing and drinking (!). Colors were amazing in the park, with the setting sun behind the houses….
#258 Coming home
It is always the same. No matter if it has been three days (as it was this time) or three weeks. When I take the ferry from Helsingør (Denmark), I get the shivers as we pass into the beautiful port of Helsingborg (Sweden). The trip may have been fantastic – but when we pass this…
#256 Market Day
Today was market day in ”Old Linköping”. It was a really nice day and the market was full of people. The theme of the market was mainly plants – but there was a lot of other things as well… Handcraft is often seen at markets in ”Old Linköping”. The trees have got that light green…
