Warm from the oven to a Scandinavian sunday morning.
Serve with a generous helping of weekend languidity, love of butter…

Dinner 22 gets its name from being located at Södravägen 22, Gothenburg, Sweden.
This restaurant and bar offers a cozy dining space for the evenings, with an impressive list of wines. Their desserts are just as decadent and luscious to the palate, their dark chocolate parfait being my favourite on their list.
The North Sea
At the diving board, along the Swedish west coast.
It seemed I stood there for the longest time. In the wind.

This series of pictures were taken in the first summer that I was here in Sweden in 2002 and just before my very first swim in the North Sea, and just about my last too.
The average temperature of the waters in the North Sea in summer is 17°C (63°F) and 6°C (43°F) in the winter. I believe on this occasion it was a reported cozy 18°C. I much prefer if waters were a tepid 26°C, like those along the East Coast of Singapore or pick any white sanded beaches of the tropics from Langkawi to Bali.
The winter months see frequent gales and storms along the Swedish west coast, and apparently on this occasion, it was the usual windy – and cold.
Just before the push. It seemed I needed some encouragement.
Else, I was just taking too much time on the plank.
I think I saw the sea come rushing right up at me. No time for further thoughts!

Haus Schönenberg is a charming hotel located in the small historic German town of Ellwangen that lies east of Baden-Württemburg. It’s a throw back in time in its architecture, standing next to the renowned pilgrimage church, Wallfahrtskirche.
While the hotel isn’t one that is too luxe, visitors will be won over by its rustic appeal. Those who love the outdoors and nature can explore the rather generous grounds of the place. Continue reading “In black and white: Haus Schönenberg, Ellwangen, Germany”
Anders Thorsell: capturing life in pictures
Capturing rush hour in Thailand, Anders Thorsell snapped this buzzing picture of a BTS (train) station in Bangkok, Thailand. I thought it a perfect shot since he mentioned that photography was strictly forbidden there.
Great pictures can tell a story without words, and in that aspect, I think Anders Thorsell has many stories to tell, all of which are inspiring. He blogs about his travels, life in Sundsvall and the various aspects of photography in different walks of life. Continue reading “Anders Thorsell: capturing life in pictures”
