Today I just show some pictures from our Sunday walk.

I was thinking today that many of the old movie stars that I love soon is forgotten! Even if I´m born at the early sixties I still remember many of our old stars like Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers Fred Astair and so many more long before I was born. But if I ask people at my work that is under thirty years old they have no idea who these people are. Perhaps Fred Astair but not the others. They have no idea who Judy Garland was or what she did. They might know who Ingrid Bergman and Greta Garbo were, but that´s only because they were Swedish. If I say “Singing in the rain” they might know that it´s a musical because it they play it somewhere in Sweden right now. This is the best musical ever written and so funny at places that I cry with lafter every time I have the chance to see it.

Of course they know who Charlie Chaplin was, but not Mary Pickford. Lucille Ball and Carol Burnette, two of the funniest people I´ve ever seen is totally forgotten. Sometimes I wish that they could show some reruns of their shows at any tv chanel here. But they are old stuff and had a humor that was of a kind sort. Today humor is the same thing as being nasty towards some famous people. If they are short make fun of that, if they are fat make fun of that. Because if Your famous You can´t defend Yourself. If they do they will only be ridiculed even more. I miss the old time humor.

We have a tv show here that is called The Parlament. They became so mean there that people phoned in and complained. Nowdays it´s quite funny again.
But there is hope I think. Adam Sandler is one moviestar that has a nice kind of humor. I´ve never seen a movie with him where he has a mean humor. I´m looking forward to the new film he has done and soon has premier in Sweden.

I sometimes write that I almost see gnomes and trolls in the forest here. I think all sweeds has grown up with tales of them. In school I had a teacher that every morning read a chapter or two from a book series called “Amongst Gnomes and Trolls” Old stories from Sweden and Norway I think it was. In these books there were paintings from one of our greatest painters John Bauer and I love them. I´m not sure but I think we have a little different picture of how a troll should look than for instance the brittish people. When I saw the troll in a Harry Potter movie I was a bit dissapointed, it didn´t look as I picture a troll. So if You want to see how I and many of the sweeds think a troll should look like klick on this link I put here : John Bauer.
Have a nice day now!

By the way, my picture is now shown at the home site of Radio Skaraborg in their contest about the best winter picture. There are so many good pictures that I don´t think I have a chans of winning, but it´s fun anyway :-) "Best winterpicture"
