109 Curve

Black & White simplicity.

108 Long days

are not unusual. Today I left my car at a garage to change oil, tyres etc. Then I traveled by subway to a building site where I answered some technical questions, had a cup of coffee and a chat with the constructors . Off to lunch with my partners in "Miljökonsultgruppen i Stockholm". After lunch we arranged a seminar for a group of 25 people. The topic of the seminar was how to search for materials containing PCB. (Swedish readers can find more info on www.sanerapcb.nu)

I hadn't prepared properly for my lecture, but the audience gave me a 4,6 grade on 1-5 scale. So I'm happy

Summer pictures :-)

Have a nice night!

106: Winning entry

Good evening PhotoLovers. Yesterday was a grey and foggy day. we had a meeting in the PhotoClub where I won the contest called "Fikabilden". We have that every meeting and the winner does not have to pay for his coffe. My entry was the portrait I had on my blog yesterday. http://www.fotosidan.se/blogs/bengtsbilder/12302.htm

Afterwards we had the "paper cup" a competition where we show two pictures at a time. the picture that gets most votes goes on to the next round. You are allowed to have five entries with you. the winner yesterday was Björn Björnsson with a beautiful portrait.

Today has also been a grey day, i have not seen the sun at all so I' m posting some spring/summer flowers.

Hold on winter will pass.

Good night

105: Google search terms EDIT

Added a portrait of the model/photographer Sofia A

After reading Siljas Blogg I had to check what people are looking for on the Internet.
On google.com/trends you can see popular search terms.
I found a blog (Source: http://hd.se/mer/2007/10/19/den-som-soeker-skall-finna-kate/) on the internet where there was a list of the most popular search terms around the world.

Sex — Egypten, Indien, Turkiet.
Hitler — Tyskland, Mexiko, Österrike.
Nazi — Chile, Australien, Storbritannien.
Gay — Chile, Mexiko, Colombia.
Jihad — Marocko, Indonesien, Pakistan.
Terrorism — Pakistan, Filippinerna, Australien.

I wonder why we in Sweden are so interestde in Kate Moss? According to Google Sweden the most popular search term is not Kate Moss.
Anyway if you want some one to read your blog now you have an idea what you should write about to interest different cultures.
It'll be fun to see how many hits this entry will get.
