Britt-Arnhild's House in the Woods

People of Georgia

@brittarnhild

10 Days in Georgia almost finished.
On our way back home to Norway we have a few hours at the airport in Moskow. We have found a tiny little restaurant with wi-fi. Terje is working on his sudokus while I look though our photos.

I plan to do proper posts here about our trip, eventually. But today (or tonight rather, as we are in the middle of the night here), I have a bouquet of photos of Georgian people.

 

Some of the photos are taken through the bus window, some from far away and blown up. A few quite close. All of them shows the beauty of the human race and especially the People of Georgia.

Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While looking for window boxes

@brittarnhild

I went out looking for window boxes, but didn´t find many. Instead I ended up with a memory card filled with images of doors.....and a little funny surprises in the end.

Only a stone´s throw away from the heart of Trondheim, you find old, crooked wooden houses. Come with me for a walk, and I can show you hundreds of them. Not as bright colours as you find on the Venezian island Burano, but not far from, really not far from.

The colours, both on the houses and on the doors, the old cobble stones, the peace and quiet. I love it.

Can you see the house number?
No doubt this is number 18 :-)

Once I started a collection of house number photos. My dream was to make birthday cards out of the photos. A friend, who is an amazing photographer, has used her doors with house number collection for an online advent calendar. One door to open every day though December.

 

Can you imagine, being sweet sixteen, back home after your first date, sitting down on the bench outside your door, holding hands, the first kiss. Sweetness over all!

I have so many door and house photos to show you.
I don´t think my blog has space for them all.

Better suggestion:
come to Trondheim, and I will take you on a walk.
(Elaine, I am agraid there will be no time for one when you come?)

The funny little surprise:
-knock, knock 
-who´s there
-me
-who me
-open the door and you´ll see

   

 

Friday´s Photo Galore

text and photos blog readers around the world

 

So pleased to see so many pictures on your blog after your request and it made my day that my tree photo was included.

Here is another one that I took this summer while my wife and I were visiting in Victoria. A view from Dallas Road over the beach and ocean.

Greetings, Sebastian

Now that my computer with all my pictures is back home I can send you a couple pictures from our part of the world.  One was taken of Portland's Lan Su Chinese Gardens.  I love the orange lanterns for Fall.  The other two were taken by the Columbia River, which borders Oregon and Washington, on the evening of the Blue Moon.  The mountain in the one picture is Mt. Hood, which is the closest volcanic mountain to Portland.  If you come to visit sometime we would take you to visit this beautiful mountain and drive along this river.

Here is a picture I took yesterday morning in my back yard just outside my office door.  The leaves are really falling this week and the morning light is golden.
Marilyn again :-)

Dear Britt Arnhild,

I have been catching up on your blog, and I had to write to say: Of course I know what it is like to take forever to walk down the street because I am stopping to take pictures. Yesterday I risked missing the bus to take this one. Something about the dead leaves caught in the live ones was just beautiful. 

Best,
Laura

Thanks Sebastian, Marilyn and Laura for your photos through the past week.

Well, it depends on you :-)
