We have been travelling through Europe for two weeks now, enjoying every single moment. Spending a week in Toscana before we head home again. The first day of rain today, so there is time for a few minutes on-line.

Baby Boy

Yes, he is here, born last night. (April 5th, 21:33)

Not without complications and he is still in neonatal. But doing much better and hopefully he and his mother can leave neonatal tomorrow and stay in the maternity ward.

57 cm and 4.375 kg - a heavyweight kinda guy :) even though he arrived 10 days ahead of schedule.

I will post photos of him when he does not have any tubes and stuff covering half of his lovely little face.

It seems that today is the day

Foreign drivers

In the end, I did go to the police about the driver playing cards while driving. I was told that since it is a foreign car, they can't do anything. The police have to witness it themselves and stop the car there and then. www.ipernity.com/doc/gudrun/4335336/ A recording like this one makes no difference.

That means saying farewell to the summerhouse for the season. We took a stroll in the woods the day before we left and I am uploading a few shots. Not much photoshopping, more or less the "real deal" so to speak.

Copenhagen Photo Marathon

Gudrun has added a post:

As of 11:00 today, I will be taking part in the Copenhagen Photo Marathon. Every 4 hours the participants get 4 new subjects - at 11:00, 15:00, 19:00 & 23:00 today and at 03:00 & 07:00 (Sunday) and then we deliver between 10:01 and 11:30 Sunday morning.

Please send a cheering thought my way - I know it will help me keep on going for all 24 hours.

Thank you :)

......

30 hours later and I am still alive and (almost) kicking. I made it and now I just have to wait for around 3 weeks for the results - and will post the shots then. It was great fun to do this!

Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar - Understanding Philosophy through Jokes

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 19:41:34 +0000

Gudrun has added a post:

I bought a book a while ago, written by two philosophers, Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein.

They "guide" the reader through Metaphysics, Logic, Epistemology, Ethics, Existensialism etc, partly by telling jokes. There are some really good ones and I thought I might share some with you.

.....

A ninety-year-old man went to the doctor and said, "Doctor, my eighteen year old wife is expecting a baby."

The doctor said, "Let me tell you a story. A man went hunting, but instead of a gun, he picked up an umbrella by mistake. When a bear suddenly charged at the man, he picked up the umbrella, shot the bear, and killed it."

The man said, "Impossible. Someone else must have shot that bear."

The doctor said, "My point exactly!"

(In Analogy, they argue that if two outcomes are similar, they must have a similar cause)

An Olympic Medal to Iceland on Sunday

Gudrun has added a post:

The boys did it. The just won over Spain, 36-30 and will meet France on Sunday in the final. So, gold or silver.

Maybe I should add that this will be the 4th olympic medal to Icelandic sportsmen/women in history.

The first was a silver medal in men's triple jump in Melbourne in 1956, Vilhjálmur Einarsson

The second was made of bronze, Judo in Los Angeles in 1984, Bjarni Friðriksson

The third was a bronze medal in women's pole vault, Sydney 2000, Vala Flosadóttir

ZOO

Gudrun has added a post:

25 years ago I las visited a zoo. It made me so sad that I said to myself that I would not be going to a zoo anytime soon. So many unhappy animals gathered in one place.

Well. The zoo here in Copenhagen has been improving a lot of things, so a few weeks ago, Rebekka and I went to the Zoo. Things have improved, a lot, but there are still animals that imho seem pretty unhappy.

"The happiest elfants in the world" has been the slogan this summer. I don't know how they can figure that out on behalf of the animals. The happiest imprisoned elefants in the world, maybe :)

Anyway. I did bring the camera and now I have the time to do some uploading.

ND-filters (Neutral Density) 10 stops or ....?

nobody@ipernity.com (Gudrun) — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 21:00:01 +0000

Gudrun has added a post:

pixie, ragnheidur, gurry gudfinns og sigjoi went shooting a while ago. Three of them have since then uploaded wonderful shots were they used Ragga's 10-stop ND filter ... the shots are so fabulous that we all want that filter and expect to have shots like that right away (in our dreams :) ). I was having my cellphone fixed today and had an hour to kill while the repairman did his magic. What else was there to do than visit my camera dealer I asked about the filters and he pointed out a solution that is something worth considering. Instead of buying one 10-stop filter, there is the possibility of buying two or even three. A 4-stop and a 6-stop for example and then you have three filters in one. You have 4 and 6 and as we know, filters can by joined by the hip, so to speak and then you have the ten. The camera guy's opinion was that the 10 stop filter was pretty limited and it would be more fun to be able to combine two or use one at a time.

Well, I thought I would share what he had to say about the different possibilities. Of course buying two filters is more expensive, but you don't have to buy them at the same time.

Over and out.
