Wall posters 0 Comments

As I mentioned over at the bluviews, I spent 3 hours at Juli's school, supporting Riley Hospital for children , so of course I had to click a few pictures...

I thought I'd give you the gyms wall posters here. All taken from the same position, I was lazy and there where too many crazy kids running around ;)

Some nice pointers to follow I think.

Be the best you can be

Who you are begins with what you do

Never settle for less than your best

Be someone others can depend on

Be someone you can be proud of

And then there is Harrison watching over the shoes...

Got shoes?

Ok so some of them are a bit blurry, but you sit there and take pictures with several hundred kids (Ok maybe around 30) running around while screaming and shouting... :)

Moon closer than last week... 4 Comments

It seems to have been mentioned a'plenty of times already, but the moon is closer now than it has been for a while, and from what I have read it been 15 years since it last was this close and there was a full moon at the same time.

So here is my documentation:

Time for E-Cards... 1 Comment

It is the Christmas so I guess it's time for some pesky E-cards again. At least some of them may be from someone that wants to take over your PC.

Got this in the email today, my advice to all, don't click, just delete. If you don't you will infect your PC with a trojan and will run the risk of having your PC taken over by some jerks.

Fake Hallmark card.

Circle of Lights 2 Comments

Perhaps a misleading title, and a bit early, but every year this Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument inside the Monmument Circle is dressed up with 4,784 lights and 52 strands of garland to become Indianapolis christmas tree. This picture was taken this summer, obviously before the light have been added and turned on.

The neighbourhood 3 Comments

Ok, couldn't keep all the pictures away from this site, and this series is what you could call down-to-the-bone American tradition. The Christmas decoration of the house... now the tradition seems to have spread to Norway and perhaps other countries as well, at least to some degree.

These were taken a couple of days ago, and I don't really mind the lights too much, but do they have to come up and be turned on before December?

And a third one.

Now maybe, just maybe I decide to snap some pictures of the lights turned on... There is ample of opportunities here already...

And if you want to see the picture bigger, just click on it. :)

It's mine, all mine... 0 Comments

As others, I have decided to separate the regular blog from the photo blog. The photoblog can now be found here:

http://bluviews.com

So update your bookmarks and add a feed ;) I would really like it if you could follow me over to the new page..

And I would love any comments regardng the page ... what I can do better colors etc. I have kept if fairly minimalistic as the focus should be on the pictures not the design.

Go green 8 Comments

To view large click on picture.

Green is a pretty color... in the US is seems that most of the old administration has been seeing it as the color of money and little else. For others it means environment, recycling, reducing harmful waste and improving the general health of our one and only earth...

Lets hope the new administration starts thinking more along with the others.
