At least one photo a day
Cremona
I did not know whether to continue with this projects, and posting at least one photo a day on the blog. The coronavirus news are quite distressing and I was asking myself whether it makes sense to continue posting photos place where I am travelling now or where I have been in the past. It did not seem something spending time on.
Colours from Kathmandu
I need colours today. Here are some from Kathmandu. At least one photo a day The first stupa at Boudhanath was built sometime after AD 600, when the Tibetan king, Songtsen Gampo, converted to Buddhism. In terms of grace and purity of line, no other stupa in Nepal comes close to Boudhanath. From its whitewashed dome to its gilded tower painted with the all-seeing eyes of the Buddha, the monument is perfectly proportioned. Join the […]

Posting this from Stockholm where I am a couple of days from work. At least one photo a day
Near the pagoda
I am in transito in London, so just one photo today from Kathmandu. When it got dark I walked around the area near Boudhanath. As soon as the sun set, all these stalls selling candles pop up in several streets. I saw this young woman stopping a young monk and asking him to take a selfie. It was a nice moment. At least one photo a day
Pyhätunturi

Of course this is still Finland and we are quite above the Polar Circle but the difference with Southern Finland where we live is quite striking. This winter we had almost no snow. It has not been really cold. It is only up here, […]
To Lapland
Let’s leave Stockholm now. Today we left a gray and without-snow Tampere and travelled by train up North, to Rovaniemi. We will stay there for one night. The next day (Sunday) we will get the bus and travel two and half hours further North, to Pyhätunturi. We will be above the polar circle and in the heart of Lapland. I will be posting as usual daily (at least one photo a day) and almost live […]
At the museum
The Swedish Royal Museum of Natural History in Stockholm, is one of two major museums of natural history in Sweden. The museum was founded in 1819 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, but goes back to the collections acquired mostly through donations by the academy since its foundation in 1739. These collections had first been made available to the public in 1786. The museum was separated from the Academy in 1965. The present buildings for the museum in Frescati, Stockholm, was designed by […]
