Happy House A bit mad , but also reminds me of some of the houses in an area of Dresden , which we saw this summer. After being there we realise there is so much more to see and explore in Germany. It’s quite chilling when you see part of the East German “Wall”, and know you would have been shot if you had been there then.
Slow travel home It’s a good idea to do that. We did train travel home from Prague to Dresden to Amsterdam back to England by train this summer. Unfortunately our experience of Hannover was sitting at the train station for 3 hours when our trains had failed to connect.
A trip across the Channel Thanks for introducing me to Luxembourg ...it looks interesting enough for me to take my car through the Channel tunnel and spend a few days there , maybe in Springtime.
What a beauty. Really nice pic of an iconic wooden house, Ake. Position. position, position. I'll post it in the "Streetscapes" thread in the Photography Forum.
Elegant Archer & the Red Line Now we have touched down in Europe for the first time, through Russia which was a surprise, it is time we looked further afield. Sweden comes to mind as does Germany & Netherlands. Nice pics Ake. But can we be trusted to follow a red line?
The Nordic countries together would make a nice trip Visiting Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland would make for a very nice, albeit very expensive, trip. If you decide to give it a go, make sure to do it in summer as the winter is a dark, cold, sad and depressing season up here in the Arctics. /Ake
Architecture I enjoyed looking through the architecture in these photos. I love grand buildings, but it can sometimes be frustratingly hard to fully absorb their essence or capture it in a photograph.
This was one of those This was one of those examples where at least I can't in a picture capture what I really want to. There isn't much to do other than to display the pics I have and hope that people have a vivid imagination and can get an idea of what it is like to see it IRL. /Ake
Architecture The architecture in your photos makes me think that Luxembourg has a bit of a Germanic feel. I love the depth and layers in this photo very much :)
More Germanic than I expected I thought Luxembourg would be much like France. But just like you I got the feel that there are many German influences. I am impressed that you spotted that by just looking at the photos. /Ake
Statues We haven't made it to Brussels yet, it looks like a city we would love. And yes I'm very glad the Jean-Claude van Damme statue isn't in the 'normal' pose of the other statues :)
We are Emma Holmbro and Ake Dahllof. We live in Stockholm, Sweden.
We have travelled more or less regularly since the mid 1990-ies and it seems like the more we travel the more difficult it is to decide where to go next. Not because we are running out of places to visit but because we find more places we want to go to faster than we manage to travel to them.
Some of the things from our travel bucket list we have ticked off since we started this blog in 2006 are
