Sneaking behind Anvil Rock--SkyWatch




I just caught the plane headed beyond the ridge on it's way to Seattle Tacoma International Airport (I presume). At the left is the remains of, or beginnings of, another lenticular cloud over Mt. Rainier. I couldn't wait till SkyWatch Friday to share the lenticulars we saw on Sunday's snowshow hike. If you missed them on My world Tudsday, scroll down, or have a look here.

See other SkyWatchers here.

Husker Du - Everything Falls Apart

On this date in 1982, Husker Du released their debut studio album, Everything Falls Apart. No singles were released from the album.

The Minneapolis scene also produced The Replacements and The Suburbs, among others.

925 Penn Ave Downtown Pittsburgh

Everyone has a story. It’s how we describe ourselves in our minds and to each
other. An image can evoke thousands of words from one instant. What is it about
a look or gesture that speaks volumes? How do we interpret these fractions of
moments? A space can tell a story, too. By entering a room, you are invited to
know the inhabitants. You are invited to see, hear and feel their story.
stories is an exhibit of art-filled interiors inspired by the narratives of our
lives and the meaning we assign to the places we call home. Whether one is
a thrilling mystery, an epic saga or an esoteric poem, a customized home reflects
the lives unfolding there. What’s your story?

stories is also the grand-opening exhibit of Emphasis Interiors, a
new interior design firm specializing in visual art and the creative process.
Stories are meant to be shared. Join us for the events of our first themed
ARTShow or call for a design appointment. Then stay in touch—our next exhibit
will tell a new tale in a different locale!

The year 2009 on my blog - a photo-cavalcade


It is getting close to 2010 and everyone around are making cavalcades of some sort based on the year that has gone by. Surprisingly, I'm going to do the same. Since this is mainly a photo-blog, I have picked one picture I have posted from each month during the year. I hope you will enjoy them - just click on yesterday's moon above (or here), and then start the sideshow rolling.


Happy New Year!

2009 in brief

On this last day of 2009 I will give you the opportunity to return to my 323 posts during the year.

January (28 posts) covered among others the War in Gaza, the death of the Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss and this image from january 20th. Go there and see more:In February (30 posts) the Norwegian WestCoast Peaks, my eye surgery and the loads of snowfall was central. But photofunia had also detected me and made a presentation in Vogue.When March (32 posts) arrived RuneE closed down his "Bridges" meme and the weather became better for us urban strollers. It´s the month for Tullen´s birthday and some years ago she looked like thisIn April (26 posts) we had our two first travels abroad this year. First Copenhagen, Denmark and later Palma de Mallorca, Spain, where this restaurant almost became our "local"May (27 posts) was the month when we moved up to Tullarbo for the summer season, but mostly the birth of Maja (our third grandchild) was in focus. In June (25 posts) we made our second visit to Copenhagen this year, lived at the cottage and had a lovely time with Asbjørn and Anne Katharina at their summer residence at "Flemsøya"In July (27 posts) I was awarded "Post of the Day" by aussie David McMahon for the second time, continued my painting activity at the cottage and started the harvesting of raspberries and fruits.August (23 posts) was the month of discovering the writer Ruth Rendell, presenting Terje Fagermo´s painting once more, dancing in the Aker Brygge street, but mostly for family visits from WalesSeptember (23 posts) is the month of Asbjørn´s birthday and our third trip to Norefjell and (close for myself) Høgevarde October (23 posts) was the month when we return down town, touring in and around Oslo, but also spent another week at Playa de Mallorca.November (24 posts) was the month for celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall, more nature experiences and presenting some great Reflection photos.In December two artists had success. Terje Fagermo in London and Lars Laumann winning the Statoil Art Award 2009, but my favorite photo of December (35 posts) must be Maja playing with her Christmas gift.Thank you all for visiting my blog this year. Hope you have enjoyed taking part in my 2009 life and that the next year also will bring you competencd and learning by opening my site.
