A Christmas Tradition

There's no Christmas tree in the house where I live, and no exchange of Christmas gifts. Which means that our Christmas is totally stress free. But there's always Glögg. And plenty of it. You can get some facts about Glögg here. The tiny cup is made of tin, and on it you can see the Neck, an old mythological figure from Swedish folklore. Skål!

Spaceman!

Todays photo is a bit different. It's a photo mosaic made from pictures from my Canon Library. All photos taken by me of course. A few thousand of them can be found at my flickr site. This is swedens first astronaut. His name is Christer Fuglesang. Later today he is going out on his first spacewalk, how cool is that? If you follow this link you can look at the mosaic in the original size and see how it was made. There are many good mosaic programs. If you want to test one, I can recommend Andrea Mosaic.
