Monday.

After a few quiet days I am showing some  photo’s for different  Monday memes.

First for Mosaic Monday I want to show some vintage in my home.  Vintage is fashion they tell me.

And at my age I have plenty of that .

For the different memes I have:

First my queen Anne chair. Of course it has  had different upholstery over the years.

 

My Japanese teacups

The beautiful crystal glasses I gave my husband as an engagement present  53 years ago.

I have 4 wineglasses and 5 sherry glasses left.

And the beautiful hand painted Herend tea cups of the teaservice I have.

And another mosaic  with outside photo’s I made this week.

Another week, another Friday. I have some photo’s to go with the different memes.

This morning I saw this sunrise. The sky was all red. Beautiful. Glad I took this photo and right on time as two minutes later it was all gone and pouring with rain.

Alphabe Thursday.

 

This week we study the letter V for Ms Matlocks class.

This weeks V is very special because I want to introduce you to a very special person, Gustav Vigeland.

There is a park in Oslo,Norway, that bares his name because it houses 212 sculptures of bronze and granite , all made by him. When we got there I could not believe  my eyes, it is absolutely stunning. It is an outside sculpture museum representing different stages in a human life. Unbelievably beautiful.

I didn’t get to see the whole park due to too little time and very sore feet ( but I made as many photo’s as I could.

There are lots of photo’s and you tube films on the internet of the park and I picked one site that you REALLY should see. It has many photo’s of the Vigeland Park, Oslo.

 http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/gustav-vigeland-sculpture-park_2.html.   Do go there! Also many other sites you can find on the net.

Stunning right?

Down here I have some of my very favorites.

On the bottom right photo you see a tower that is called the Monolith totem. It is 46,32 feet high and is composed of 121 human figures rising towards the sky.  It portrays a feeling of togetherness as the human figures embrace one another as they are carried towards salvation.

The photo’s are all mine, the words I found on the internet.

Now can you see that I was so stunned?

Gustav Vigeland died in 1943.

So cosy, mom and daughters ordering lunch. Love those little hats.

Isn’t it nice sitting on a terrace of a French café drinking  wine and watching people passing by?

Sunday, Monday.

 

Last summer we  visited family who live in the beautiful city of Alkmaar. Here some photo’s I made there and the beach photo I took in a little village called Bergen.

 

 

 

 

Alkmaar is a city full of canals, bridges and tourists as shown here.

 

 

Rent a bike.

 

That one summer day.

 

Open the bridge.

 

 

Just beautiful doors and windows and of course like everywhere, bicycles.

Alphabe Thursday.

 

Ms Matlock told us to study the letter T for Thursday Today.  I found some nice words with photo’s to go with them. Here they are.  T is a very popular letter I noticed.

 

 

Words like Tea, and Towel, and Tulips  and Tower. There are many more but I will keep them for the next round.

 

Tea anybody? I’ll get an extra cup and how about a little cake?

 

Don’t you like this Towel dog? The lady who cleaned our cabin during our last cruise surprised us with this

lovely dog. So cute.

 

 

Never to miss  my favorite flowers, Tulips, here on a cup and a box.

 

 

And this beautiful Tower is of the New Church in Delft.

For Ruby Tuesday2  : http://rubytuesday2.blogspot.nl/

and Our World Tuesday :http://ourworldtuesdaymeme.blogspot.nl/ I made a collage of photo’s all made by me.

For the cups I used Picasa I believe it was called cinema, thought that looked like fun..

Happy Tuesday.
