Everyday Life…

Everyday life in different parts of our world. Above you see a family at the market in Kota Kinabalu in Borneo, Malaysia and then a woman selling Pancake Crepes along Patong Beach in Phuket, Thailand.

All of these pictures are from my archive and memories from different trips. The images speak for themselves but you may be able to guess where they were taken. A few clues, three are from Malta one from Singapore, one from Sicily and the rest from Borneo, Stockholm and California. Click on an image to enlarge.

Favorite Place – Stockholm Sweden

Published on March 23, 2018March 26, 2018 by Anita59 Comments

My favorite place is where I live my daily life on the small island of Malta. But after almost eighteen years in this country, another favorite place is my former hometown of Stockholm in Sweden. It´s exiting to be like a tourist and explore what’s new and to visit old favorite places from where I have so many memories.Riddarholmen is an island in Mälaren and a district in central Stockholm, belonging to Södermalm’s district. The island, together with the Old Town, constitutes Stockholm’s historic center.It´s not easy to choose but The Old Town, Gamla Stan, is a favorite place I always try to visit.

Here the alleys are long, many and narrow. It has happened that I’ve almost got lost.A visit to one of Stockholm’s food markets is a must. This is from Östermalmshallarna.At Södermalm you´ll find many old well-preserved houses. You almost get a feeling of being moved to the countryside, though you are in the middle of the city.

The only time of year I try to avoid visiting Sweden is during the winter. But when you see these, you know that spring has arrived! The best time of the year to visit Sweden is in the summer.…and when you see this, you get another proof of Spring, or at least almost. As soon as there are degrees above zero and a blue sky, you’ll have to sit outside if you’re in Sweden, even if it’s only 10 degrees.

WPC – Pedestrian 2

Published on October 8, 2017 by Anita13 Comments

A pedestrian on the new bridge here in Kuching. It’s not open to the public yet, what we see as a silhouette is a worker. I don’t think the bridge will open before we leave and fly back home to Malta. Just over a week left.
Pedestrians in another part of the world. An early morning walk in the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. I always try to spend some time in this part of Stockholm when I visit my hometown. Soon I’ll be there.

Tant (122/365)

Published on May 6, 2017May 7, 2017 by Anita29 Comments

.En äldre dam på promenad i Gamla stan. Tycker det liknar en tant men vad är egentligen en tant och när blir man tant ? Läser att Kvinnor anses vara tanter när de synes vara osynliga som sinnliga varelser !
Motsvarigheten ska då vara Gubbe men jag tänker Farbror som känns lite mer släktbetonat 😉

Den mest positiva och absolut finaste definitionen jag någonsin hört om tanter finns bland kommentarerna. “Glöm inte att gamla tanter, är coola Tjejer, som fått leva länge.” Tack Svante!

Ännu ett par bilder från besöket i Stockholm i september. Gick runt med kameran i Gamla stan i flera timmar bland alla gränder. En väldigt olik känsla i färgskala och arkitektur mot att gå runt i Maltas huvudstad Valletta. Var och en med sin egen speciella atmosfär och karaktär.
