& The Iwo Jima Statue (US Marine Corps Memorial) and The Pentagon Memorial On a hot summer day, it’s tempting to take the bus that takes you to J.F.Kennedy’s grave and further on to the site of the Unknown Soldiers’ tomb. I much prefer to walk around and explore the many graves and memorials. Every week about 40 or more […]
In a quiet corner of the Gothenburg Art Museum, a statue of Victor Hasselblad, (1906-1978) a famous Swedish photographer and inventor of excellent cameras. He once travelled to the United States of America and was asked by a custom assistant at the airport if he had anything to do with the Hasselblad camera? “I am the Camera”! In […]
There are a number of ways to see Paris… but today I want to take you, by foot, within arms’ reach of the Seine River, arguably the life-blood of France’s capital city.

Assignment for the blogging course Photo 101 “Street” I am convinced that the photo I took a few years ago in London in New Bond Street is the same place as beneath painting by the famous Swedish painter Anders Zorn. The painting is at the permanent exhibition at Gothenburg Art Museum. It is difficult to take a picture of it as the painting is behind […]
Again I am able to post something for this blogging event called “I made it Mondays” I had to let my blog just manage on its own for two days as I struggled to set my self up in the Airbnb fellowship. Some of it was done on the computer and some on the iPad as details worked better on […]
I reach out and take part in this blogging Event called “Wheresmybackpack“? I like to travel and to find motives worth remembering. This weekend I was in Copenhagen, the Capital of Denmark. We have a lot of old and new buildings to be “put in order and kept” in a blog post. Kastellet is an old military citadel still […]
I found these in my garden and would like to share them with you. What I really love about them is the color, the scent and the shapes. I have strong memories from my childhood’s garden of these lovely Sweet Peas in Danish we call them by the Latin name Latyrus. I am training on photography with our Nikon DX camera. […]
