MV 'Earl Sigurd' is seen keeping station off Stronsay in the Orkney Isles whilst we, on the MV 'Islander' finish our business on the jetty. This is either the 19th or the 26th of June, 1991! Sadly, Kodachrome slides only show the month and year, depending on when you sent them in for developing!
I can narrow it down to two dates because the late Mr Pennington and myself spent two consecutive Wednesdays on the 'Islander', a single prop freight vessel that could carry 12 passengers. The Wednesday trip was an 0615hrs departure from Kirkwall, calling at Westray, Papa Westray, Eday, Stronsay and Sanday, arriving back at Kirkwall between half three and four o'clock in the afternoon. An outstanding sail around the Northern Orkney Isles and something the average tourist didn't know existed!
We got to know some of the regular crew and got slaughtered at pool by one of them in the Georgian bar in Kirkwall after one trip!
The 'Earl Sigurd' heralded a new era for Orkney Ferries and the ultimate demise of the MV 'Islander'. We were privileged to be there at the end of this era.
malmö stadsteater, malmö, sweden, 1935-1944.
architects: sigurd lewerentz with david helldén and erik lallerstedt.
yes, it is italian rationalism with its rigor and formal playfulness, but what I am sure we all respond to in the theatre facade is just how close lewerentz and asplund are at this point in time in terms of language, surfaces, and expression. I am thinking of skogskrematoriet, of course, here seen through the lense of clement guillaume, www.flickr.com/photos/clementguillaume/2297988427/, for comparison.
the awful concrete planters on the balcony are not original, should you be in doubt.
Sigurd Curman, Lundström (father-in-law of Carl Curman) and workers of the Lundström estate at boulder with runic inscription on two sides (U 112). The inscription on the south side says: "Ragnvald had the runes carved in memory of Fastvi, his mother, Onäm's daughter, (who) died in Ed. May God help her spirit". The inscripton on the west side says: "Ragnvald had the runes carved; (he) was in Greece, was commander of the retinue".

Inskriften på södra sidan lyder: "Ragnvald lät rista runorna efter Fastvi sin moder, Onäms dotter, hon dog i Ed. Gud hjälpe hennes ande". Inskriften på den västra sidan lyder: "Runorna lät Ragnvald rista. Han var i Grekland, han var krigarföljets hövding".

colonnade of trees, eastern cemetery, malmö, 1916-1969.
architect: sigurd lewerentz, 1885-1975.
detail of this.
if you ever heard the claim that neoclassicism imposed academic forms on living beings, here is the proof. the trees in the eastern cemetery not only grow at right angles, they are grafted together, three branches on each side, to form one unique and highly architectural plant.
lewerentz' work with trees as means of architectural expression alone makes a winter visit to the cemetery worth the effort.
the compartmented plan of the cemetery in which hedges and trees form discrete and sheltered spaces is not only typical of cemeteries in the region but of landscape planning as such in southern scandinavia which is flat and suffers bitterly cold westerly winds in the autumn and winter.
the planning is very different from the woodland cemetery, but that lewerentz was a kind of proto-regionalist should come as no surprise. I recall reading that he worked for theodor fischer when he travelled through germany before setting up his own office. fischer was an early regionalist even if his thinking was based on nationalism and he influenced many of the German modernists, not least hugo häring who was a pupil of his.
I so like it when my heroes connect...
lewerentz hired the young kay fisker to work as his assistant on this competition, later claiming he had needed someone Danish to draw the beech trees. I am sure that was an internal joke between the two coming giants of Danish and Swedish architecture who remained friends for the length of their careers.
El deber de Arno con el clan es casarse con Lisbeth y tener muchos hijos, pero a Sigurd no le haria ninguna gracia. Es tan celoso...

Sigurd: No hay mas mujeres, que iba a hacer?
Arno: Esperar la próxima expedicion, como los demas
Sigurd: Si hombre, estoy en la flor de la vida!

Sigurd Olson's cabin at Listening Point on Burntside Lake near Ely, Minnesota. This was the retreat of renowned wilderness conservationist and author Sigurd F. Olson, located near his beloved Boundary Waters Canoe Area, which he worked tirelessly to preserve as a protected wilderness area. Listening Point includes this beautifully-simple Finnish-style log cabin and a sauna.
Olson authored nine books: "The Singing Wilderness", "Listening Point", "The Lonely Land", "Runes of the North", "Open Horizons", "The Hidden Forest", "Wilderness Days", "Reflections From the North Country", and "Of Time and Place".
Photographed July 21, 2015. Equipment used: Sony SLT-A58 with Sony AF DT 18-70mm lens on tripod.

the refined, shalow relief of lewerentz' ornament is a response to the perpetual grey skyes and occasional low sun of southern scandinavia. hagen stier has portrayed this quality of nordic neoclassicism much better then I can: www.flickr.com/photos/30982458@N00/1985481929/

Here´s the orchestra in which the trombone player (previous photo) is playing in.
Amasing how good the music from the orchestra is! They meet once a week and practise which is not really much time. Still, they play so tightly! I heard that the conductors is tough...
These are wooden panels from a church at Hillestad, Norway. Romaneque style.

Un lugar de una incomparable belleza poética. Fue sentado durante un cuarto de siglo (1915–1940) en una zona de cien hectáreas cubiertas de pinos, bajo la supervisión de los admirados arquitectos modernos Gunnar Asplund y Sigurd Lewerentz. Cuenta como una de las creaciones arquitectónicas modernistas más importantes de todas las categorías y representa la filosofía nórdica del significado de la naturaleza, la vida y la muerte. Aquí también hay varias capillas preciosas por ver.

The Sigurd carving (Sö 101) on the Ramsund rock. Harald Faith-Ell and Elias Wessén is filling the carving with paint. The Viking Age carving depicts the Old Norse Sigurd saga, about the hero Sigurd who killed the dragon Fafner. The inscription says: "Sigrid , Alríkr's mother, Orm's daughter, made this bridge for the soul of Holmger, father of Sigröd, her husbandman".
Sigurdsristningen (Sö 101) på Ramsundsberget. Harald Faith-Ell och Elias Wessén målar upp upp ristningen. Den vikingatida runhällen visar bilder ur den fornnordiska Sigurdssagan, om hjälten Sigurd som dödade draken Fafner. Ristningen säger: "Sigrid gjorde denna bro, moder till Alrik, dotter till Orm, för Holmgers själ, fadern till Sigröd, sin make".

King Sigurd of Norway is said to have converted Orkney around 996 AD, but it does not appear to have come under the control of the Roman church until the time of Adalbert, Archbishop of Hamburg (1043-72) In 1152/3, Nidaros (Trondheim) became an archbishopric and Orkney came under its ecclesiastical control. Thorkel Amundson, foster father of Thorfinn Sigurdsson (The Mighty) had a homestead in Deerness. According to the Orkneyinga saga Thorkel killed Rognvald in 1046. Excavations have uncovered a Viking settlement a short distance of the medieval church at Skaill in Deerness.
The medieval parish church was taken down and rebuilt in late 1790s. The present church is the 1790s church, remodelled in the 20th century and by now is owned by "The Friends of St Ninian’s", formed in 2009 to save this church.
MV 'Earl Sigurd' doing things the old fashioned way at North Ronaldsay, Orkney, despite being built to service the new ro-ro terminals on the other Northern isles! My notes for the day say that my late friend, Alan Pennington and myself were the only passengers on the outward freight run. We shared a meal with the crew on a glorious day, the TV in the mess room proclaimed Wimbledon to be rained off! This happened a couple of years earlier on the MV 'Islander'! We also got a tour of the engine room to view the Mirlees-Blackstone diesels. The outward trip had a following wind making being on deck and watching the seabirds a rare calm experience in the Northern isles!
The Norse name was carried by an earlier steamship that served these islands from the early 1930s to 1969.
Just looked at the satellite image and it looks like they have a link-span now. Whilst this may seem like progress, it's meant the end to many aspects of island life. The village shops couldn't compete with driving a car onto the Kirkwall ferry and loading up at the supermarkets.

Sigurd Lewerentz’ most noted building came into existence after winning an invited competition in 1956.
Two buildings are located on either side of a courtyard – on one side, the church itself, which is linked to the parish premises ad assembly hall; and on the other the registrar’s offices with a belfry tower and archives.
Dark bricks from Helsingborg are freely laid in running bond – the vertical joints have varying widths which meant that no brick needed to be cut. Lewerentz referred to Persian architecture as a source of inspiration. The church in Bjorkhagen demonstrates how it is possible to be both visionary and well rooted, Lewerentz was already regarded as a phenomenon in Swedish architecture. His integrity and sure handed sense of form leaded to solutions that were several decades before their time. The church was awarded the first Kasper Salin Prize in 1962.
