Ruby Tuesday: Swedish ‘Moulin Rouge’

DSCN2585-1

Many old cinema theatres in Sweden were named after the famous Moulin Rouge in Paris: ‘RΓΆda Kvarn’ = ‘The Red Mill’. The two photos above were taken recently. I also include a couple from last summer to show you all four sides of the building (block). The close-up of the windmill decoration is cropped from the photo below that one.

The cinema was built in 1914 and in 1998 it was declared an historically notable building to be preserved for the future. It is still in use as a cinema and theatre, run by the town. They show films for school classes for example, or just a few public shows of films of cultural interest which the commercial cinemas don’t find profitable enough.

Here’s a link to a Swedish Wikipedia article, if you know Swedish, or if you’d just like to take a peek at the interior pictures. I have to confess I haven’t been inside the building for years.

See more photos from the Fashion Show at Beyond the Lone Islands.
The clothes are from the local shops and the models were all local amateurs doing this for the chance to be a fashion model for a day.

Shadow Shot Sunday: Seeing the Light

 

DSCN2603

This is a grave monument at an old cemetery close to where I live.
I must have walked past it many times without noticing it at all.
Until one day the light happened to be “just right”…
