    a kindle of kittens

    It is cold these days. Sometimes down to Professor Celcius´ blue twenties, minus four for Mr. Farenheit. I stay snugly warm inside. The rescue shelters are all full of cold animals, some with ears frozen off, tails frozen stiff. One horrific story today of a grown Tom frozen to the ground. Being homeless is not a game.…

  • anthropomorphism – you are like me

    anthropomorphism – you are like me

    Anthropomorphism is any attribution of human characteristics (or characteristics assumed to belong only to humans) to animals, non-living things, phenomena, material states, objects or abstract concepts (Wikipedia). It is human to see human responses around us, and we have the ability for abstraction. So we apply human patterns to animals and objects. “An evil wind blows..”

  • a shelter life

    a shelter life

    Life at the SPCA shelter. That people lie are not surprising. What is surprising, is that they are so bad at it. Someone mailed the shelter, asking them to take a kitty back or have it put down, as it was catching mice.

  • back to squirrels & bones

    back to squirrels & bones

    Back in DC. Back to the bones, the squirrels and the schnapps.

    up in the air!

    My brother got his pilot licence; time for a spin above frozen denmark

    norway, my stupidly beautiful country

    Norway is stupidly beautiful. Sometimes there is no words left, and laugh is all you can do.

  • out in the woods

    out in the woods

    Alone in the woods, without internet, mobile coverage. What the mind does, when prevented from flitting, and chopping wood and dealing with one task at a time is the only option.

    wildlife, geeklife

    Work work – no time to sightseeing or go arty photographing. Little snippets, though.

  • images of no-things

    images of no-things

    Photos are not always meant to show something. Sometimes they are only there to contain shapes and colours. Sometimes, it is not a magic moment, but a play of light and an interesting composition. Could it surprise you?

  • squirrels & nuts

    squirrels & nuts

    Squirrels are the best pea-brains I know of. Oportunistic, curious, adaptable; and wonderfully forgetful. It always makes me smile when passing a tree, rock or building, with a little tree growing out of it. Forgotten nuts moves nature around. .

    DC – the end

    The worst snowstorm in over 70 years, the Washington Post says

    Born in medieval times. the bookbinder, the GPS and the e-book

    I study digital media. I was born in the early 70′. I am a dinosaur. My fellow students are 15+ years younger than me – born in another era, on a different planet. We learn roughly the same things from opposite directions; we each hold an end of the stick.

  • Large things, close up –

    Large things, close up –

    I like textures. I like odd angles. Beautiful concrete, several hundred year old wood, steel beams. Physical, almost abstract. Everywhere. Character. Decay. Details containing the whole. Childish attention to details.

  • Threatened by extinction – the nordic ark

    I took a trip to the zoo. And was reminded of how annoying humans are.
