Robert Sigurd and Stan Brander continued their journey to Robert's stronghold, They Would have to travel through the lush landscapes and forests of Oxenfurt, located in Avalonia. After they pass this road they will arrive in a small village, nothing spectaculair, but perhaps there is some food, drinks and maybe a bath.
As we drove across Finland I had been telling my wife I wanted to photograph a typical red and white wooden barn if we spotted one in the right setting. But it didn't happen. There were beautiful splashes of strong light on fields of barley, but no red and white barn combo, or it was just trees, and trees, and trees, or it was raining. When I did have a glimpse of something I thought might make a picture, she said, "You can't stop here!"
By the time we were getting nearer to Helsinki airport on our way home I was getting pretty desperate. And then I spotted Sigurds (as I identified it from Google map) as we came up the main Route 51 beyond Inkoo. "You can't stop here!" she blurted as I braked sharply, pulling towards the hard shoulder. "It's not safe to stop here", she shrieked as I decided to get further off the road by aiming her side of the little car towards the ditch that ran about five feet below the road.
Well, it barely took a second to grab my shot, and I felt reasonably fulfilled as, over the next few minutes, I managed to urge the feeble 300cc VW Up up to a barely acceptable 80 kph again towards the airport.
Bagged: one or two red and white wooden barns in passable light before we went home
Mini Contest Avalonia
Wilfred Sigurd, Lord of Oxenfurt and father of 1 son, wants to lay claim on the throne of Avalonia!
This tree, planted by Wilfred and his wife, is the only thing that keeps Wilfreds mind peaceful.
Wilfred´s wife died, years ago, when Robert was only a child.
Wilfred was once like Robert, let the sword talk, politics are for boys and war is for men. Wilfred was always away from home. Conquering land in name of Avalonia. His way of fighting was frightening for most of his opponents.
When Wilfred came home one day, on his horse, pride as he was, he saw many of his citizens and batallions were sick. He rode to his stronghold, and ran, he ran as fast as he could to the dining-room, his wife, his little boy, they weren’t there. He ran on the great stairs to the bedroom. There she was, laying sick on their bed. Surrounded by maids and a medicine man. Wilfred walked up to their bed, he kneeled and took his wifes hand. He couldn’t believe his eyes.
She asked, with her last breath :
“ Please my dear husband, lay down the sword, find your peace here on our land and take care of our son.”
Wilfred answered with trembling lips and tears in his eyes :
“My dear, dear wife, if that is what you wish, consider it done. I will lay down my sword and I will find a peaceful life. I love you so much.”
Wilfred had never shown so much emotions.
His wife smiled and looked him in the eyes, she said to him :
“It’s ok my dear husband, I love you too, and take care of our first planted tree.”
She closed her eyes and the once so warm hands started to get cold.
She was gone.
Wilfred kept his word. He walked up to the little tree, took his sword and shield and layed them in front of it.
The days, months, and years after this unknown desease he started to learn politics, he learned it can be useful in some cases. He did this as tribute to his wife. His beloved wife, who always told him that war isn’t always the right answer.
Now, years later he still goes to that tree, as it keeps his mind calm and clear. His sword and shield still stands on the same spot where he put them that day.
Loved by his men, by his inhabitans, he made Oxenfurt a sparkling place.

On the outskirts of the Eastern Cemetery (Östra kyrkogården) in Malmö is a brutal flower shop in concrete, built in 1969. The building has no gutters and the windows are secured with black grout.
Architect Sigurd Lewerentz (1885-1975) designed the house at the end of his life when he was over eighty years old. The building is his most stripped and extreme. People from all over the world comes to the shop to study Lewerentz solutions and work.
The Eastern Cemetery is famous for its design and beauty far beyond Swedens borders. The Cemetery was created by the architect Sigurd Lewerentz, who from 1916 until his death in 1975 was engaged in the cemetery's various stages of development. After a contest Lewerentz was chosen to design the cemetery and the related buildings.

This is my Sigfig and will be my character. I added a little background story
Robert Sigurd comes from a noble family nearby Albion. His father, Wilfred Sigurd has a small piece of land there.
Robert is at an age of 28, He is a skilled swordsman and he knows how to handle a spear. He is respected by his men and they will follow him into the flames if needed. He doesn’t wants to know anything about politics, it just doesn’t suits him. His father however, keeps saying that the sword is not always the right solution. Sometimes you have to listen for the greater good.
Their family house, or better say, their stronghold is impressive for it’s size. It’s nothing fancy. But it will hold against any intruders. The land they posses are rich of small little farms. Dense forests and outposts where his men keep guard over the land.
flower shop, completed 1969.
östra kyrkogården, malmö, 1916-1969.
architect: sigurd lewerentz, 1885-1975 (with bernt nyberg 1927-1978)
for a long time, the flower shop in malmö was my favourite building, and believing it to be the one piece of architecture able to express aspects of the human condition I would normally seek out in literature, I have visited the place more times than any other building outside copenhagen.
while this grey little girl no longer tops my long list of crushes, returning always leaves me thinking "still crazy after all these years"...
kraus claimed that art should present itself in the form of an enigma and lewerentz certainly delievers. this time in malmö, however, I felt I was able to decipher more than ever before.
I now believe the flower shop to be a return to neoclassicism for lewerentz and a departure from the neo-ruskinian anti-modernism of his two great churches. its skillful play on squares and the golden section, and the subversive distortion of familiar details connect this house with the methodology of his 1920s projects.
the sheer elegance of its proportions alone separates it from klippan and björkhagen and demonstrates at least two things: a continuity in all of lewerentz' works, and the willfulness of the churches in terms of an artist consciously working against his prior knowledge of his craft, unlearning with every step taken.
"all I know is that you are not going to do it the way you normally do", was not only an order spoken to his masons but a reminder spoken to himself during the design and construction of the churches, and - as a method, an obsessive, tortuous method - finally abandoned in this, his last building.
those concerned with the survival of our late-modernist heritage will be disheartened to hear that a second extension has been added to the shop. this time, at least, not physically connected.
I did tone mapping on the RAW file of this photo, and I find it really turned out well. Especially the ceiling got a nice blue-grey colour tone :-)
Almost empty shopping mall - as it was in the middle of summer (me on vacation).

Coen and Sigurd start drinking in the morning and now it is time to go to bed :-))) Maybe they will be awake at 0.00 to watch the fireworks!!!!!
Everybody here at Flickr a healthy, happy and stressless 2014 from Mimi and her plastic family
After slaying Fafnir and claiming his horde Sigurd travels the lands when he sees a blaze light up the sky. As he follows its origin he finds a burning mound with a person clad in armour in the middle of it.
He enters the fire without fear and realizes the ironclad figure is a woman...and not just any woman but the most beautiful he has ever seen!

Pero la expedición al sur del rey Sigurd había comenzado por un invierno pasado por la flota viquinga en Inglaterra, y otro en Galicia. Con Sigurd iban escaldos, sonoros poetas que cantaban el viaje del rey por los mares. Uno de ellos se llamaba Einar Skuleson.
En la primavera de 1109, el rey Sigur navegó con su flota al oeste de Valland, es decir, de Normandía, y en otoño entró con sus naves en una de las rías gallegas para pasar el invierno. Einar, según mi traducción gallega, cantó así:
"O noso señor rei, de cuia lonxana terra
ningún daquestos reinos estaba perto,
en Jacobsland o inverno que chegaba pasou,
en santas cousas ocupado;
i eu puiden escoitar ao mozo real
convencendo a un conde que andaba descarriado.
O noso valeroso rei tivo pacencia con aquel danado.
I os falcós con él ganaron a sua pitanza".
Los halcones, naturalmente, eran los guerreros del norte, a los que no bastaba el tejón cazado con cepo, ni lo que podían pescar en la ría en que anclaran, seguramente la de Arosa. Ni les bastaba con las almejas, las ostras y las vieiras, que según le escuché al profesor Kannen no comían el percebe ni la lamprea. Nada se nos dice de si comían la nécora, el lubrigante y la centolla. Pero lo que querían aquellos bárbaros era carne, grandes bueyes y rebaños enteros de ovejas, y el conde, ese que el escaldo dice que "andaba descarriado", no estaba muy dispuesto a dar las vituallas que querían los normandos. La tierra, Galicia, "era pobre y estéril" -"a poor barren land"-, y llegando el mayo, la hora de hacerse de nuevo a la mar, el rey Sigurd fue contra el castillo donde estaba el conde que regía Galicia, y lo forzó, y le tomó todo lo que precisaba, y abarrotó con ello sus barcos. Y se hizo a la mar, hacia el sur.

eneborg's egnahem, workers' housing, helsingborg, skåne, sweden 1911-1918.
architect: sigurd lewerentz (1885-1975)
planning: torsten stubelius from 1907-1911, with sigurd lewerentz from 1911-1914.
so many things are just right in lewerentz' early workers' housing in eneborg - the sense of scale, the simplicity, the dark clinker-burnt brickwork - but the part that moved me the most was the tiny staircases leading to the first floor flats.
when you enter, they speak to you first of the severe economy of social housing, but if you stay for just a moment you realise that they are the work of a poet, and of a very particular kind too; one who will make poetry of the given, who does not need to add anything for effect.
the stairs wind around a central brick pillar to which lewerentz added a narrow opening on the ground floor, ending in a tiny three centred brick arch. similar arches span from the pillar to the walls of the stairwell and their geometry, slightly more complex than the semicircular arch one would expect, gives them an almost hand-drawn quality.
it all receives the reflected light of a single window above and that's it. I wouldn't blame anyone for not noticing, this is as quiet as architecture gets, but it made me very happy.
