Our friend Benny Persson from Blekinge says:
" I saw that one of Alf´s bicycles had no wheel. Tell him that I found it!"
An "Underground tree" should be treated in the same way as the plant species would naturally.
Hint: When you see a plant in underground - act normally as nothing happens!
Before initiating the process of growing the trees in your underground, tube or even trams, a new solution should be invented, to ensure that the "Plant propagation in communication" is innovative and ready to act in a public space, without the need of every passenger to carry his/her own tree.

TITLE: Farewell to home--emigrants bound for England and America--
on steamer at Göteborg, Sweden
CREATED/PUBLISHED: c1905.
CREATOR: Underwood & Underwood.
Mr Hepburns picture "Clock" made me think of how over a million people
emigrated from Sweden to America during the last half of the 19th century
and the first decades of the 20th century. Only between 1887-1892 over
250 000 people emigrated from Sweden. They landed in New York and many
moved on westwards.
Sweden had a population of just 4, 8 million in 1890 and most of the
people who left were young, so this was a major historic event.
The photo was taken in an abandoned house in County Mayo, Ireland. The clock is the one that once sat on the mantelpiece before the house was claimed by the sea. There are also many other houses in a state of abandonment that have been deserted by people emigrating to the UK, US and beyond.

According to me Lars Tunbjörk is one of the most interesting contemporary photographer’s. His famous book Landet utom sig is both humorous and utterly serious – a truly amazing portrait of Sweden. Now I am proud to present Tunbjörk on the F blog with six photographs from his coming book I love Borås! The photographs are from 1989-1995. I love Borås! is released and photographs from it are exhibited at Galleri Kontrast, Stockholm, 14 April 2007, 12.00 and onwards. For more information about I love Borås, see www.maxstrom.se

Today is Nurse Rabbit's birthday you know!
Did you find something nice for her?
Oh yes!
. . . but I had a little trouble getting it home.
The organizers call it three days of peace, love and photography. Sounds
like a great event! It is said to be the first of its kind in North America and
will be held in Charlottesville, Virginia this summer of 2007 (June 7 - 9).
National Geographic Staff Photographer Michael “Nick” Nichols is
co-executive director of the Festival, along with Jessica Nagle of
Charlottesville. He says: “For every photographer out there, there
are ten people who appreciate the photograph.You don’t have to have
any membership to come to this.You just have to show up and have
a great time.”

Hans Odelholm from Örebro was kind enough to let me publish his
signed poster(!) from this great edition of The American Folk Blues
Festival. It makes me remember that T-Bone Walker was there
as well along with other great blues artists. This is from the concert
in Gothenburg. Next evening they played at the Tivoli Concert hall
in Copenhagen. Well, and Jimmy Reed was there too.
Have a look at Mr Odelholms site (in Swedish).
See my pictures from the event here in an earlier post at the blog.
