Salzburg, the boy and the castle

Art in Salzburg
At last in the alps, and it was a joy to enter these Mountains. I hadn´t realized until now seeing it for real how the plains of Southern Germany are related to this wall of mountains towards the south. It was like architecture, the green floor and the dark wall. Entering the mountains was also a spatial experience as mowing through a gate and becoming part of the shapes, the valleys always leading you further into something new, and not least tempting the curiosity about the places seen just in a glimpse from the train, a sidetrack climbing a mountainside before it enters the hole of tunnel, but where does it come out?

Istanbul fashion

Posters on an Istanbul wall
Turkey is the land of contrasts. And how the woman dress can be a good example of this. Some are as the girls you find elsewhere in Europe, with short skirts and long hair, but many are wearing their headscarf with pride, no hair is shown, and accompanied with a long dark coat.

After an inter rail through Europe I needed an update of this map.

The Blue Mosque

The ceiling in the Blue Mosque
I didn´t come to the blue mosque with any expectations, but what I found was truly beautiful, the patterns making the stone wall soft, the complexity of the construction and the variations of space. Alltogether this was amazing.

Fjelltur i Sunnmørsalpene

 

Et ikke helt trygt hjem under høye fjell. Vinden reiv og sleit i teltet, og i mørket ulte vinden. En lang natt. Etter dette kom snøen.

I just want to share this photo that I found on Flickr. This is my beautiful hometown, and this shot just misses the house where I spent some of my younger years. And I like the model-effect.
