pictures from the old and stylish train/hostel we stayed in. so neat with these really small compartments where every inch is used in the best possible way.

more photos from our small trip to lund, these ones came out in much warmer tones as the sun started shining in the afternoon. we stayed at a rather special place called “tåget” / “the train” which was an old night train parked at a track by the train station and now functioning as hostel. i’ll show you photos from the train later today!

by the way, i’m sorry none of these photos really say that much about lund, but my photos of the traditional cobblestone streets with sweet brick houses and from the cathedral didn’t turn out so well…so i’ve only got fragments of lund to show.

have a great wednesday folks!

- anairam:
thanks anairam : ) i agree on the leaves thing, the ultimate autumn/winter image that makes you want to drink hot tea and wear wolly scarfs - spot on!
- sekimachihato: actually these houses were not typical of lund. most of the houses were old brick houses in cosy cobblestone streets, but all my photos from the old part of lund didn’t turn out well. but i agree these are some rather neat modern houses.
- lorenza: thanks! i kind of like the white bike as well : ) it was a surprise to me that the bikes in lund look a lot different from the ones in denmark, more retro and 80s like. very nice bikes!
- sigga: tak sigga, glad for at høre du kunne li’ de grå billeder!
- nathalie: thank you nathalie. i really like muted tones/grey light as well sometimes, creates a whole different atmosphere.

hello everybody! we came home yesterday afternoon from a great trip to lund. a very short holiday (24 hours basically) : ) but we had a good time!

lund is such a charming university city. i’m coming back for sure. the weather was dim and grey when we got there - resulting in greyish photos, but some of them with nice muted tones. later the sun came out and the photo conditions changed dramatically. i’ll show you some of the more colorful and sunny ones tomorrow!

- ai: thanks ai, we had a very nice trip to lund. fun story about those two you met in louisiana and yes i do feel silly carrying around to slrs : ). more than once i asked myself why i brought two with me as the yashica is really heavy. but then again, it was nice to have both options at hand.
- esti: hello esti : ) the weather is so unpredictable here these days, but you are right being in a beautiful botanical garden, grey skies look good as well
- julochka: thanks, these are my favorite shoes at the moment…i don’t have that many shoes and when i have a favorite pair i tend to wear them ALL the time : ) saw your photos from legoland - it looked cosy! i remember legoland being so exiting as a child, “gold” washing being the favorite activity. hehe

- pip lincolne: hello pip lincolne! thank you for your comments. my brother and i cooked a very delicious noodle dish, very simple recipe that included chicken, ginger, spring onions, chilipepper, garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice and fresh coriander all mixed with noodles…it was a new dish to me but i will definately make it again!

- alice: thank you alice, i’m passing on the congraulations

today i experienced a happy busdriver. it’s not often you experience happy bus drivers in copenhagen and i guess mondays especially it can be hard to find any. this guy wished all passengers a very good day and told busdriver jokes along the way. he even said “and a very nice day also to those of you who don’t speak danish”. i couldn’t help but wonder what had made the busdriver this happy….maybe he just won the lottery or maybe he had just become a dad…or maybe he was just happy for no particular reason.

i’m going to visit my brother tonight. he lives three blocks away. we are going to cook something..don’t know what yet.

the photos from Louisiana and from our bedroom where a picture of the light switch is hanging next to the light switch. i’m in a hurry, so i’ll reply to your comments tomorrow - have a great monday night!

this week and weekend has been marked by celebration and dinners and lovely guests. yesterday NE sisters - sigga and brinja threw him a surprise party to celebrate the fact that he had handed in his thesis. i had to make sure we were late for the party (i’m a natural at this) as everyone needed to get there first. it was a great surprise!

thank you so much for all your advice about good crime fiction writers - i was overwhelmed by all your comments! i’m going to make a list and take it to the library as soon as possible.

oh and by the way take a look at these beautiful yashica photos taken by anna/the baker’s daughter

i agree, so interesting when you suddenly see the similarities between languages. didn’t think about it when i posted this photo, but is is quite similar to english
- outi: hehe : ) glad you like the photos!
- kristi: yeah it’s a little mean. think it is because there’s algea in the these ponds. but yes it is also typical for denmark with a lot of rules and signs.
- sigga: tak : )
- anna: thank you anna, i wish i had more time for blogging these days, but i guess its varies from time to time
- chelsea: hey, you got it right! and i agree, it’s good fun!
