Friday My Town: Bright and Colourful

 

Have to admit I completely forgot about the Friday Shoot Out this week. Not only did I forget to post on the right day - I realized today that I had no idea what the theme was…

But… Making amends… What’s more bright and colourful than a rainbow? (See more rainbow shots at my other blog.)

Apart from the rainbow, it’s been a rather dull week here with a lot of rain and clouds and not much sun. However, this afternoon it did clear up again for a while (rain is hitting my windows again as I write this though), and I went for a walk up to our old regiment buildings. (I say “up” because they are situated on top of a hill.)

The regiment was disbanded 15 years ago, and the buildings now house various business offices, schools and apartments.

Actually, the buildings are quite bright and colourful, even if still somewhat awe-inspiring…

 

Seen from afar (from the park where I hope to be chasing butterflies again a bit later on in the summer – there were none to be seen there today)

 

Panorama view from the yard.
It’s a huge place with a variety of buildings.

Not sure how I’d feel about living there…

Being greeted by cannons at the bus stop!

 

 

Well, these flowers were bright and cheerful anyway!

“Mummy, help!”

As usual this time of year, we have a lot of “teenage”
seagulls wandering about the neighbourhood…

Ruby Tuesday: Silk and Calico

Last week I visited an exhibition of 18th century silk and printed calico fabrics at the Textile Museum; mostly canopies and bedcovers. I think all the silk covers displayed were originals; while some of the old calico prints had been copied to modern fabrics.

This wooden bed was a reconstruction made from original design drafts from the 18th century; and the calico fabrics were new ones using old patterns.

Friday My Town: Patriotic Celebrations

Sweden’s National Day is June 6th.
These photos are from June 8th this year, which was graduation day for a lot of high school students. That also tends to involve a lot of flags and blue/yellow decorations.

 My guess is that the colours dominating most other entries for FMTSO today will be blue, red and white… To check if I’m right, click here.
