Om Gothia Cup invigningen

I måndags, när jag var på Kungsmässan, hörde jag ett bekant ljud. Jag vände mig om och såg en grupp fotbollssjungande pojkar från Bulgarien. Deras hejaramsa ljöd så högt att butiksfönstrena skakade. Härligt, tänkte jag, nu är festen igång! För fest, det är verkligen vad Gothia Cup är. Det flesta av oss vet att detta …

Colosseum by Day

Last time I showed you Colosseum by Night. Here are some rainy DAY shots. An ambivalent feeling of excitement and anxiety crept over me as I entered this historical construction. Naturally, I was very curious to see all the details inside, but knowing what had ones taken place here sent chills down my spine. When …

Colosseum by Night

I had never been to Rome before. And not until I got there did I know what I had been missing. What a place! No city can be compared to it,   culturally, historically, religiously or artistically. This  means that you need at least a whole week to be able see everything. I didn't have that, …

Leirdalen (2)

Continued from: Conquering a Mountain Galdhöpiggen (1) Galdhöpiggen (2) Leirdalen (1) Here's just a little on fishing, fotball (soccer), cows, and sheep... The only disappointment on our week's camp in Norway was this very lake, at least in one respect. We were promised to catch fish here, guaranteed, since they had planted a lot of …

Continued from: Conquering a Mountain Galdhöpiggen (1) Galdhöpiggen (2) Here are photos from Leirdalen, the beautiful valley we camped at while climbing Galdhöpiggen and doing other activities.

Galdhöpiggen (2)

This is a continuation from the two posts: Conquering a Mountain Galdhöpiggen (1) These photos are from the second stretch toward the top of Galdhöpiggen. After the break, we start climbing again. When we do, this is what we see. The top is basically fully visible behind a thin cloud. The tiny specks on the …
