Beautiful! Particularly the wooden pavement! ‘Spring feelings’ made me smile 🙂
Yes, the whole entrance gate into the yard of the beautiful building was paved with wood – must been there for 100 years. Can find any information about the wood. Very interesting. Beautiful to look at, wish I had been able to take a photo of the whole area.
Yes, I thought I would lighten up the subject with … some bird sex. *smile – thanks for your visit and comment.
I agree with Madhu, that wooden pavement caught my eye too!
Yes, I didn’t see the pavement until we where leaving the backyard of the museum … must me 100 & 100 years old.
Amazing.
Beautiful spring and wood entry. I really like your photos. Thanks for playing.
Thanks a million, Cee …. Spring is an easy season because of all the prettiness out there. Too long until the next time. Have a lovely weekend.
You’ve been working on your flower names, Vivi 🙂 🙂
They are so pretty but I think my favourite shot is the station at Landskrona.
Hope you’re having a happy weekend. The rain here has been torrential but it’s nice in my little conservatory with a bowl of cherries. Sticky hugs!
The old station is now sold .. and they have plans to make a Galleria out of it .. so hopefully the old balcony will be all fixed up. I just love the building that has been empty for too long already.
Cherries … can I have a few, please???!!!
We-e-ell, you could, but greedy me ate them 😦
Just admiring your gallery with Amelia playing in the background. She makes me cry every time. Such purity. http://dailypicksandflicks.com/2013/10/27/nine-year-old-girl-sings-opera-on-hollands-got-talent-video/
Girlfriend, the link doesn’t work … but I watched her on YouTube, amazing … there is always a young singer with a fantastic voice on those talent shows … US had Jackie Evancho a couple of years ago, http://youtu.be/SKhmFSV-XB0 -Jackie is a big star now. Did Amelia win???? Have to look for her album.
Thanks for telling me I will fix it.
Fixed!!!! *smile
Her name is … Amira or ?????
http://dailypicksandflicks.com/2013/10/27/nine-year-old-girl-sings-opera-on-hollands-got-talent-video/
Now it works … the same video I watched on YouTube – love her voice .. she has released an album. Has to find it.
Thanks I was shall we say a bit tipsy last night! I just tried it, thanks V! I hope she keeps her voice! AMAZING!
I found her album with Amazon … will try Itune later.
Sony has stopped her website. Yes, I truly hope that her voice will mature in the right way, but there is always a risk with young voices.
Yes I know there is always that risk especially since she sings like Maria Callas now, but I hope not! I wonder why Sony would stop her website? All her songs can be found on YouTube.
Yes, she wasn’t allowed to post videos belonging to them on her website. Videos that was made after she signed her contract with them.
Ahhhhhh….you always get the details! I wonder if she is on iTunes, I will check! I bet not!
I’m sure she is …. when she belongs to Sony!
Why is Sony affiliated with Apple?
Yes her album is for sale. I just bought it 🙂
Oops, hit send too soon yes Amelia Willighagen !
…. you got it wrong again – you are just like me ….. the fingers works quicker than the brain! Amira Willighagen!
♥♥♥
These are gorgeous…and the music too!! 🙂
Thank you so much, spring seems so far away … 10 months for the next one. *smile
Well, you keep it close with your art 🙂
I will try to do my best … have so much photos .. have to find out a system. *smile
Well, thanks to you I am now also signed up for Soundcloiud in my Swedish grandmother’s name 🙂 ! Oh, loved your beautiful flowers as well as the Vivaldi!!!!
Good on you – there is a lot of fantastic music that has never been recorded to be found on Soundcloud, great talents.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment – first time I use Vivaldi for my spring images – just love that piece, but I like his winter more. Have a lovely day.
Lovely, Viveka! The music is one of my absolute favourites and that wooden floor…
unforgettable.
I have got the name of the building ….It’s the Museum of Fine Art, Charlottenborg and also The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.That was a brilliant day too. Got your phone stylus – will phone tomorrow.
Thank you for finding it!

Cee, what an honor …. twice now!!! Thank you ever so much. I really enjoy playing around in your challenge.
Congratulations! I have selected your post to be featured on Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge!
http://ceenphotography.com/2014/07/22/cees-fun-foto-challenge-fire-or-season-of-summer/
Cee, thanks for the honor … I’m in very good company too. Thank you for keeping this fun challenge going.
Time for get my head around summer and fire, like the combination. *smile
Hi Viveka, It looks like you are doing well. I love your pictures for this challenge, and of course, the music as well.
Marsha, I’m in very good company … I can see.
I had a rough period … on an off – but I still have the head above the water.
And how are you two ???
We are doing well. We just recovered from nasty colds which kept us down for TWO weeks! But I’m ready to be counted among the living again! 🙂
Wow, cold in the summer … isn’t great – take ages to get over it.
How is the lovely soft man of yours doing ???? Out travelling still.
My lovely SOFT man??? V would have a cow! He prides himself on getting buff and tough! Or do I have another soft man I need to meet? Hehe. 😉
I meant you little … Casanova you have???? Your charming bear, trying to remember his name .. something that starts with M … right or wrong. !!! *smile
Ohhhhhhh that little softy! Manny! He’s loving life, but hating me right now. He’s been grounded for a couple of weeks since we’ve been sick, and when we went to HI, we never went anywhere to take pictures. He’s still bummed about that! 🙂
Manny, sorry – how could I forget …. he seem so be a softy with too much of an attitude *laughing. He is spoiled. *smile
He is a little. Next thing you know I’ll go into his room, and he will have run away. He’s such a travelaholic. 🙂
Great word, travelaholic.- that makes two of us then.
Going to Vienna in 2 weeks time … and Chicago/Las Vegas in September and I have booked my big one for next year .. April. Hong Kong and Japan. Just had enough of all the health problems .. they will still be here if I’m home or away. More fun to be away … *laughing
Good for your, my friend. You are doing great! I hope you have a travel partner, or are at least meeting someone. 🙂
To HK and Japan I travel alone .. Vienna I will stay with friends and Chicago/Las Vegas I thave a great travlmate.
Nobody can afford to join me to Japan.
I believe that! Have you been there before? How do you organize a trip when you go alone?
I been to Japan when I worked aboard “the little red ship” – we took passengers from Nagasaki to Shanghai then to Hong Kong – then we did the opposite route.
How I plan – I know what I want to see … and when. Then it goes over to airlines ticket and roughly what how long and when .. then I play around with dates until I get a good price and short flying time. Then I divide my days to the places I want to visit. Start off with 5 nights in Hong Kong, then I fly Tokyo (5 nights) – then I find out the best way to travel inside Japan – bullet trains … to last I book all tours I want to do in the different towns. 24 days will I be gone in total. I have to find out where I want to stay, in with area of the cites – not so difficult, when I know what I want to see.
I check out what is cheapest to take taxi or private chauffeur between airports and hotels. Japan, taxi is very expensive and in Tokyo there is so long distance to their airports. Same HK. Goggle has all the information I need.
As the last thing I book hotels. I even find out where the closest postoffice is to my hotel and how much a postcard postage will be, before I leave.
If I have any blogging friends in the places I visit – I try to meet up with them. Like in Chicago .. I have two – Vienna one. Istanbul when I was there I had a wonderful time with my blogging sister, Nia.
This is wonderful, and would even make a great blog post! I found out this year that I am not super at traveling totally by myself. I went to Boston, and met Eunice, which was fun, but was sick for two whole days, and wasn’t in the least prepared. I hadn’t even booked my hotel room long enough, and I had to add on days in one of the in-between times of being very sick! Awful! 🙂 The rest of the time was fine, but I just hadn’t prepped enough. 🙂
Thanks, great idea … I will do so – have started, but there is so much information and with my Swenglish – I have try to make sense into the information I’m giving. Thanks for the idea. Maybe there will be something for somebody else. It’s the biggest trip I ever done on my own, most because of the language – travelling 30 days in US and Canada is not a problem because I understand the language and can read street signs. In Japan there isn’t that many that speaks English. There is so much information to take in about everything.
I don’t mind travelling alone, because it gives me total freedom, but Japan is a true challenge. At least you have travelled on your own – to travel alone the homework must be done ..
You are so brave! What is the draw that makes you want to go to a place alone where you can’t understand the language? My first husband and I went to Greece once, and when we got off the boat, there were strange signs everywhere, and the names of streets they told us made any sense because we couldn’t read the letters to even try to figure out where we were going. We finally got a cab, and didn’t have change, nor did the driver. It was nearly impossible to pay and have him be on his way. If I’d been alone, it would have been totally impossible. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
Marsha, could be that I’m brave or stupid *smile It goes hand in hand at times.
I think you would be okay .. if you had been alone, because there is something kicking in … when we end up in situations like that – and that is common sense.
When we have to sort problems out on our own, we do it – maybe not with the result we wanted, but we solve it.
My biggest worry is Japan, because I still think that their English aren’t that great. Could be wrong, things must have changed since I was there nearly 36 years ago. I’m sure I will be fine. Thank you for your support … have started on my “single female” travelling post. Thank you for the idea.
You’re amazing Viveka! I’m looking forward to reading it, and others. 🙂 Lots of love! 🙂
The wood grains are truly exquisite and Vivaldi only added to the experience! 🙂
Joseph … thank you so much for your kind comment.
I have always been fascinated by wood grains since I was a child, my grandfather worked a lot in wood. With a camera is it to make it come alive. *smile
Yes indeed!
🙂 My first 10.000 pictures…oh, dear, I’m still learning 😉
You’ve learnt a lot – love your pictures AND you galleries 🙂 xo
Me too …. but a couple of 1000 during the last 3 years.
I understand that I have to take photos on everything I found interesting … and try to take photos from different angles.
I take about 300 images per day when I’m away.
Most I will never use or edit.
Can’t wait to take Oscar out in Vienna.
Lovely gallery of spring flowers and wood! Love the music, Viveka! Thank you 🙂
Thank you so much!!!! Spring is a delightful time for a camera. *smile
