Sky over the Baltic Sea

Here is some latest pictures, taken on the 30.of March 2010

When I came into my cabin, I saw the sky was soft and nice. I took my camera and went out. There was one more woman taking pictures. So we, two strangers, were shooting there, others came out just for their smoking ritual...

Promising London Skies

Most of the time the weather stood like that - no rain, no sun...

Look as you like -through the window or at the window...


...but till the end of the day is the same patchwork up there...



So I concentrated to look down and it saved my life - many times...


Of course, the last day driving to Heathrow the blue sky showed up...

ABC Wednesday for N

North Norway

Here we lived once.

Not for a long time in this house together, it was the year 2001, but it's still like it was yesterday. Now I (R) haven't been in Vesterålen for two years, and that I feel is like a century.
How many memories, how many pictures...what to take and what to leave?

That reflection I think, is still my best picture from Vesterålen. I should keep it for the SkyWatch...

But the sky is more low than bright there...


...or there is the polar night

This summer I have to go and see all again...I hope I am now well enough to follow J who is going to visit his mother and homevillage anyhow...

Today's post is an entry in the fourth round of ABC Wednesday, the meme initiated by Denise Nesbitt.

ABC Wednesday for M

ABC Wednesday is created by Denise Nesbitt. This week we are looking for words beginning with "M". Happily I got this time many "m"-s, even many triple "m"-s...like:

Midweek Morning Moth

Can you imagine, opening your eyes in the morning, looking out of the window - and...there is somebody who is looking in!?

Who are you - I asked - a miniature midweek messenger?

You have a miraculous mask...a little bit macabre (monstrous) and the same time funny and may-be even mesmerizing.

And not misty at all, even there is two layers of glass between us.

I went out to see it's backside.

What a marvellous material: so soft and hairy!

(Down there you see my hands with the camera...)

.

The beauty is mirroring itself: am I majestic enough?

We don't know what a mission it has,

may-be just migrating from point A to point B.

But don't move yet,

give me some

more memorable moments!

Thursday Challenge: Delicate

This weeks theme is "delicate" (Glass, Lace, Jewelry, Plants, Breakable Things,...)
I checked out what others had put up and only few works matched with my today's feeling what delicate or fragile thing must be. May-be some other day I would take a chinese porcelain cup or nice piece of lace, but as spring is soon here I thought only about nature...is there a more delicate and fragile "thing" as a butterfly?

Odd Shots Monday

The View from My Workroom Window

An unusual guest

The balloon and a real full moon

Those two pics are rare enough to take part of the Odd Shots meme I think. Other additional photos are taken at different time of day or different weather conditions...

The last picture is zoomed in, but I wanted to add it as a rare detail seen from my workroom window. The view from that side of the house is not very beautiful, only sunsets and some little colourful trees are making me sometimes joyful.

Thurdsday Challenge

Scent Bottle and Armrings

This still life was inspired by today's Thursday Challenge. I think jewelry and scents are a good match.
Those golden armrings (made from gold and white gold) is a gift from J., bought from Dubai.

The parfym is a gift from my daughter (Diesel - Fuel For Life Eau de Parfum).

You will find more jewelry here

A souvenir from Mexico?

...and still in a wrapper.

The picture is snapped in the Madrid Airport, in a coffee bar near the gate for the travellers going to Stockholm. Not yesterday, not even this year, but I think the situation is timeless...:)

More odd shots to see at Katney's Kaboodle place.

Nautical - The Fram Museum in Oslo

http://www.fram.museum.no/en/

That's a place I want to go more and more. There is few museums I like so much and I don't know actually the reason. Can be many. The books from childhood, J.-s connection with the sea (he is from many generations seamen's family ); the romantic attitude...

Happy Birthday, Lioudmila!

This is not a meme. This is not a joke. My friend, the Valentine Day's child has b-day today...

Why My Flight Got Delayed

As today is such a grey day with the low sky and the wet snow, I'll post here a picture from these days we get the first serious snowshowers...

The view is from the window of Tallinn Airport.

Odd Shots Monday

This house I visited once quite often, especially when the cold season hit me and I needed some help.

Lately, over the long-long time I stepped in and saw:

This was like a museum... it was the museum!

Guess where I was?

The Raeapteek (English: Town Hall Pharmacy; German: Ratsapotheke) is in the center of Tallinn city, Estonia.
Opposite the Town Hall, at house number 11, it is one of the oldest continuously running pharmacies in Europe, having always been in business in the same exact house since the early 15th century. It is also the oldest commercial enterprise and the oldest medical establishment in Tallinn.
The first known image of the Town-Hall Pharmacy is an oil-painting by Oldekop, showing Tallinn's Town Hall Square in 1800. The first photos of the building date from 1889.
