Was David Naked?
When I saw this statue in Helsingborg I knew it was David and the decapitated head was Goliath. Everybody knows the ancient saga, David and Goliath. Well, I hope my nephews and nieces have learned about it. But what I didn’t know was that if David was naked when he killed Goliath. Who would ever know. How the artist of this statue figured out in the story, thus created a naked David, is something to be considered art. Or isn’t it? Despite protests, the statue remains to be seen at Konsul Trapps plats in Helsingborg, Sweden.
In the story, David lifted the head of Goliath to show to the people that the giant was dead. But here, he kneeled and pressed the head with his right foot. He could be rolling the decapitated head from the body with his right foot. I’ll let your mind tell your own story.
Behind him is the stairs leading to the fortress where Kärnan, the relics of the medieval castle remains in place.
Oh, no! Blue Snow!
There is no such thing as blue snow but why do I make the snow blue in my pictures? In the world of failed photography I think I succeeded in this. I often get blue snow even if it’s clearly white in reality. I’ve read before that it’s not a good picture of a snow at all. When this failure repeats every now and then I decided to search for answers why it is happening. Fortunately, I found ephotozine‘s website that has an article about why snow appears blue.
Speaking of snow, we had our first real winter of the year past Saturday and the happiest were the children enjoying their ride on the sledges. Finally, this season shows what it’s supposed to show. Though I wish it would be over soon.
For Sake or Tea?
Is this a tea or sake set?
My Thai colleague gave me this set as a gift last Christmas. It seems she knows that I am fond of small things. I don’t know if I can call it a tea set but I’d say it’s for sake. Hubby and I are not sure about it. He said it’s for tea but I disagreed because the cups or bowls or mugs ( I’m not even sure what they are) are too small for tea. And it’s definitely not for coffee. I’ve seen Japanese in some films drinking sake and they usually have tiny cups for it. But sake in a little elephant teapot? What I am thinking about it now is to put soya in that elephant thing and use the small cups for soya when sushi is served. One for hubby, one for me, one for you and you. Lol!
