Bautasten

Ved Bølshavn er der en samling bautasten, som kaldes Hellig Kvinde. Der er et sagn som fortæller, at en kvinde og hendes børn blev forfulgt, hun bad til Gud om at undslippe, og hun og hendes børn blev til stenstøtter. Det er/har været skik at man hilser Hellig Kvinde og hendes børn, når man passerer forbi.
Personigt tror jeg at den slags overtro har været med til at forhindre, at alle fortidsminder er forsvundet gennem tiderne.
Bautastenene, som der er mange af på Bornholm, er rejst i sen bronzealder og tidlig jernalder, og man ved ikke rigtig hvad de har været ment som.

Menhirs

At Bølshavn, some menhirs are situated, they are called Holy woman. The legend tells that a woman and her children were chased, she prayed to God to be saved, and she and her children were made to stone. It is or was superstition, that you have to greet Holy woman when you pass her.
I think that this kind of superstition has saved many old places like this from being destroyed.
The menhirs, we have a lot of them on Bornholm, are from late bronce age and early iron age, the meaning of them are more or less unknown.

Æsker med blade

Endnu et forsøg med en transparent æske. Jeg skannede for et par år siden nogle ahornblade, som jeg derefter tracede, jeg prøvede med farvede baggrunde, det var ikke helt godt, så det har jeg droppet.
Hvis man er gode venner med sin printer, kan det være en fordel, at gøre den transparente udprintning lidt mørkere, det har jeg ikke gjort i dette tilfælde, lidt ærgerligt!

Boxes with leaves

Another try with a transparent box. I scanned some mable leaves some years ago, then I traced them in my drawing programme, I tried some colloured backgrounds and were never satisfied, so Now it is white.
If you are on good termes with your printer, it could bee an adwantage to darken the print a little, I did not, and regrett!

Flyvende fugle

Da jeg skulle anskaffe nogle transparente ark til overhead projektors til andre formål, syntes jeg at det ville være sjovt, at prøve at bruge dem til æsker. Man kan få ark til ink jet printere.
Jeg lavede en almindelig æske i tyndt pap for at vise forskellen.

Flying birds

As I had to buy some transparent sheets for an other purpose, I would like to try it out for a box.
You can get theese for ink jet printers, but you have to change the printer to transparents.
The sheets I have used are too thin for big boxes, they can only be used for small boxes.
I made a usual cardstock box to show the difference.

Endnu en smuk dag

One more beautifull day

Sammenstød mellem kontinenter

Lige syd for Aakirkeby har man blotlagt sammenstøddet mellem det prækambriske skandinaviske grundfjeld og det yngre palæozoiske? europæiske grundfjeld.
Brudlinien strækker sig helt ned til Sortehavet.
Det ser meget dramatisk ud, med opfoldninger, men det er sket over utroligt lang tid. Stedet får mig altid til at føle mig meget ung, en behagelig fornemmelse!
De tre nederste billeder viser et område lige syd for, hvor havbund af sandsten er blotlagt, for et par år siden fandt en ekspert nogle aftryk fra gopler; men jeg ved ikke hvor.

Clash of continents


In the south western part of Bornholm, a part of the line, where two continents clashed together,
the northeastern precambric Scandinavian part, and the palaeozoic? sandstone south western Europaeic part of Bornholm.
The line continues to the Black sea.
It looks very dramatic, with big folds, but it has happened in al long period, with many earthquakes. This place always makes me feel very yong, a nice feeling!
The three pictures lowest, shows a peace of sandstone seabottom, it is possible to see the sand showelled together from the wawes, and an expert some years ago found the imprint from some jellyfish.

En gylden september eftermiddag

Her på Bornholm er september en ufatteligt smuk måned. I går måtte jeg bruge en fridag på et personalemøde, for at få noget ud af dagen tog jeg ud for at tage nogle billeder, og for at nyde det gode vejr.
Nogle af billederne kunne desværre være bedre, men lyset var ikke helt godt så sent på dagen, og mit camera i mobiltelefonen er ikke ret godt.

A golden afternoon in December


Here on Bornholm September is unbeleavably beautifull. Yesterday I had to spend a day off on a meeting were I work, so to get something out of the rest of the day, I went out to take some photos and enjoy the nice weather.
Some of the pictures could be better, but it was rather late in the afternoon, and the camera in my cell phone is not very good.

Hjerte med blomster

Det sker ofte, at det jeg laver ikke rigtig vil som jeg vil. Jeg havde en ide om hvordan dette hjerte skulle se ud, men det blev ikke helt hvad jeg ville, det nederste billede viser nogle af de frygtelige stadier på vej mod et resultat, som jeg overvejer at lave om.

Heart with flowers

It happens rather often, that something will not work out the right way. I had an idea of how I wanted this heart, but it does not look exactly like my idea, I show some of the even worse ones I had to make before I ended up with this one.
