The Gate

A summer memory – walking through my hometown, Graz.

Christmas hints

Christmas is getting closer 🙂

Peeking in

Walking through the old city of Graz, so many wonderful sights are waiting for us when you take the time to look.

Tyrolean

After spending a week hiking and vacationing in Tyrol, I’m at a loss which of the wonderful photos to choose – here an example of the old country houses we came across.

The Friendly Alien

“The friendly alien” was the name given to the art exhibition building of Graz, the Kunsthaus, soon after it was opened in 2003. It was one of the main projects for the Cultural Captial year.

Stockholm

Walking to Gamla Stan, we passed so many wonderful buildings – what a pity the weather was not better!
Having taken a guided tour before, we felt confident we’d remember the buildings – built I’m at a loss now 🙂

Oslo mall

Sadly, I don’t remember the exact place this photo was taken – it was at Oslo, Norway, but I don’t remember the exact location.
The roof struck me as impressive, though – I loved the light!

On to the castle

Visiting Sweden, we drove up to see Läckö Slott – the castles was a great sight on such a lovely day!

 

Harpa at Reykjavik

One of my favorite memories of Reykjavik is the opening of the Harpa.
We visited it several times and loved the glass front and the colors – what a wonderful idea.

In general, we didn’t expect Reykjavik to be so colorful – but we loved it!
