ABC Wednesday - F

This ABC Wednesday I want to share a photo from last summer.
I am not sure if it is
F for Fun, Fear or Fearless In my town we have the most known marketing sign in Norway; the Freia-clock at Egertorvet. It is around one hundreds years old and was equipped with neon lights in 1956.
F for Freia and its chocolate Another, but perhaps not that well known eye catcher is the old front of a modern house in Josefinegate.
F for Front Living in a city we have more street boutiques than shopping centre. An exception is at Aker Brygge where you may find shops above each other.
F for Floors in shopping centres However, wherever we live in Norway, some of us always dream about going back to nature and the “cosy” life at the cottage.
F for Fireplace


You almost feel the romantic atmosphere in the Living room above and probably want to sit down among fantastic Fox furs waiting for the Fidler to arrive.
My painting shows a Fidler tuning the
Hardingfele

F for the Fiddler playing
Fanitullen

If you like the piano better, listen to the Norwegian composer Chr. Sindings Frühlingsrauschen (Rustle of Spring) on this
YouTube video

Fantastic! Love the fireplace!

Mrs Mac said...

OH WOW! What a wonderful fireplace!
I could see myself curled up in front of that one cold evening! Lovely!

I think I'd rather see those fox furs on the foxes, though :^(

Mmmmm Freia chocolate!

Ett stort og varierende utvalg av F`er her. Vet ikke helt hvem jeg foretrekker. Så, jeg "tar" dem alle. ;)
Men, en Freia sjokolade smaker alltid godt..... :)
Må scrolle meg nedover her nå. Har gått glippe av mye ser jeg.
God dag til deg!

Loved them all! A very artustic collection!

So quiet here now, unlike the winds which howled through the night!

Kyanite said...

Great fun!
I can never do just one subject either.

You have some wonderful "Fs" here. I really like the clock and hearing that it is so old!

Silly Goose said...

You live in a town famous for chocolates! I enjoy both piano and fiddle music, but since today is an F day, I'll choose fiddle. ;-)

You have really done your homework! Beautiful pictures. I love the lights in the shoping center. The next one looks more like a castle than a cottage.

A lovely collection of F pics. I especially like the room with the fireplace. Happy Wednesday!

Katney said...

A lovely collection of Fs, but to call that a cottage is perhaps a misnomer. Looks more like a mansion to me.

Nessa said...

Great pictures. I want to be in that livingroom.

Kate said...

The fireplace is my favorite but I also love the Fiddler. Did you paint it??

Anne said...

Mange Flotte F èr der du.

Neva said...

I love your fireplace....and all your other "F"s are well chosen!

Petunia said...

Du er hjertelig velkommen innom meg når det måtte være og jeg kunne tenke meg at du likte båter!!
Du har mange fine valg av F i dag, men skal jeg velge bare ett, må det bli det første med gummibåten. Det er det virkelig fart og moro over. Det var ikke noe lett valg fordi jeg er en hund etter sjokolade, så bare ved å se den velkjente logoen fikk meg til å sleve.
Vi hadde en artig episode for noen år siden inne på landstedet vårt Engavik havn. Vi hadde kjøpt en gummibåt den sommeren som ungene fikk kose seg med - bare vi så dem fra hytten. Litt ut på høsten fikk vi høre at ungene var avbildet i et båtblad. Men vi fikk dessverer aldri sett bildet eller lest artikkelen. Tror dette må ha vært i 2001. Her for et par år siden kom jeg på dette igjen og begynte å søke på nettet etter dette. Til slutt fikk jeg napp, men båtbladet var utsolg, naturligvis, men jeg fikk tilsendt en kopi av artikkelen med bildet av ungene. Kjempekjekt å se og lese! Jeg tok kontakt med journalisten og fotografen (en og samme person) og fikk tilsendt bildet i en bra oppløsning! Derfor valgte jeg altså gummibåtbildet for det minner meg om landet og de fine stundene vi hat hatt der inne.

Pass deg du... er jo som sagt svak for menn med lite hår...

You have lots of F's today. The cozy fireplace is my favorite. I would love to lie down on that sofa for a nap or to read a book.
