Boston and New York
In March I had the honor to be invited to an event in Boston. One of the publishers we work with had a conference for all their employees worldwide and I was one of the speakers. I didn’t have much time to wander around, but I did manage to shoot a few pictures from downtown … Continue reading
Jeløy – winter on the beach
My brother Terje and I went to visit our parents one weekend. My father had to spend some time in the hospital and we got in the car and went to pay our respects. After the visit at the hospital our mother treated us to one of her amazing dinners. Terje and I felt the … Continue reading
Berlin
I went to Berlin with a couple of colleagues for a meeting in November. The meeting was on Monday morning and we flew in the day before. I arrived in Berlin a couple of hours before lunch. It was a bit cold, but it was sunny and very pleasant indeed. This first shot is The … Continue reading
Istanbul
I’m embarrassed. I have not looked in on my blog in months and then I saw that the last post is from almost a year ago! There’s been a couple of things happening after that and this is my first attempt to get back in the saddle. Istanbul in September is beautiful and a great … Continue reading
Another trip to China – april 2011
I’ve decided to do something a bit different this time. Former posts are more or less a chronological description of various trips and events. I shot more than 6000 pictures in China, and I believe the whole story is a bit too much – at least for this blog … This time I’ve picked some … Continue reading
Harrogate
I had one day on the ground after the trip to Austin and Boston before I entered another aircraft – bound for Harrogate, UK this time. Harrogate is a little bit out of the way and you normally fly to Leeds or Manchester and go by train to get there. I went there to attend … Continue reading
Boston
Coming to Boston directly from Austin was literally a chilling experience. I checked the weather the week before I left for the US and Boston showed up with temperatures from 10 to 15 degrees Celcius. When I got there though the temperature was more like 2 to 5 degrees, which was a real shock coming … Continue reading
Weird Austin
I arrived in Austin 24 hours behind schedule due to cancellations and delays. I missed the opening reception for the conference and the few hours I had planned for some sightseeing. I still found some time to shoot a few pictures during my days in Austin. One of the first things I saw when I … Continue reading
Washington DC
Back in November 2010 my colleague Runar and I went to DC for a conference and to meet with some people at The National Library of Medicine. We also had some time to explore the city though. The thing that struck me about DC is that everywhere you look there is an iconic building, park … Continue reading
Amsterdam!
I was in Amsterdam last week attending the 12th European ICOLC conference (International Coalition of Library Consortia). This conference was particularly exciting for me because I was asked to give a speech on “Taiji as philosophy in negotiations”. If you’ve ever read this blog before you will know that I practice Taijiquan and that this is a … Continue reading
