I would like to show you a couple of photographs Inge shot during a recent trip up north to Denmark. They were shot in a small provincial town, and are not dramatic, sensational or fancy in any way. On the contrary…

But what really struck me when seeing them was that they seemed frozen in time. Perhaps it was because we have been restoring old family photos in the last months that it appeared to me that they could have been shot way back in the 50′ies. Take a look at them (if you would like to see them enlarged, just click on them):

It can be quite relaxing for the mind to rest for a while in a time bubble, and images like these certainly help getting this rest.

But, we all know that time does not stand still. Some of us would agree that it flies like an arrow – too fast. One of the ways to get a sensation of this is to take a look at what happened in recent months.

Ha! On this blog not much happened recently, you may think. This is correct, and makes me contemplate to train my small helpers (introduced in the previous blog) to also help me editing blogs.

But something happened elsewhere!
