We all have to economize…

Even ghosts are clearly suffering under the financial crisis…

Happy halloween!

A day at the office

I saw this fun video at Deannas blog yesterday, and I just have to pass it on, – with a big smile-  to you, and a big
thank you to Deanna!

PS. If you want to sing along, the text is here.

Decreasing light

Tulips at daytime, all of them red, placed in the same vase, in the same window, but not at the same time of year! Slowly we are getting used to see colors change or dissappear. The “summertime” has ended, which means that mornings are plus 1 hour brighter, – but afternoons are plus 1 hour dark. Sunrise today 7:17 am.  sundown 4:46 pm. The most positive to say about the darkness, is that ones wrinkles are toned down for a while.

Another contribution to Scotts assignment ”Water” : Reflections, captured with a mobile phone,  by my sister Tone.

Water

My contribution to Scott Thomas assignment “WATER “  will be this photo, taken today on our drive along the coast line of Zealand. This water, Øresund / Østersøen (the Easten lake – even it is not a lake), seperate Denmark from Sweden, -our hereditary enemy when it comes to football.  There has of course been many wars between our two countries, land and jewellery has changed hands,  and stories of the enemies brutality has provided stories that can be told forever.

The “Eternal peace” between our countries was signed in 1658, after the Swedish army had been able to march directly to Denmark, because of very hard frost.  Thick enough to carry an army.  As the winner of the war, Sweden got these areas : Skåne  Halland and Blekinge, -a fact that surprisingly still seems to annoy some.
All this happened 350 years ago, and have been celebrated with exibitions made by Swedish and Danish museums.

We do like the swedes a lot now days, and respect their well-developed society. Actually we have made a bridge to Sweden.  Apparently we can´t stop them anyway.

Scott Thomas invite everyone to join the assignment, you are welcome, too.

Potato-holiday

Schools are closed this week.  The october  “Potato” holiday fills every amusement park, cinema and exibition with playfull children and patiently waiting parents. This glimpse is from Tivoli, the concert hall in the background.

Graphic autumn

This is not the result of a distracted gardener at work, but a common way to prune some sort of trees.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the Americans with the nobel price!

October

This week end was cold, rainy, and very windy. Leaves are falling from the trees, and we try to prepare for the black silhouettes that soon will appear everywhere. Temperature tomorrow will be about 13 degree. A suitable time for blogging is near!
