Weekly Photo Challenge: Containers

Jul 19, 2014Oct 23, 2023 Forestwood

Many things can fit within another…. not just Matroyska dolls either

All the following photos were containers for people. People who smuggled people from East Germany to Berlin during the Cold war, via Checkpoint Charlie and are now in the museum in Berlin. It is a sobering thing to ponder about…. in the photo below you can see the “dummy” squashed into the boot space of this little car. Desperate people squeezing their way through desperation. I admire their determination and tenacity.

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word. Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

Great minds think alike – seems we both had the same idea with the matroyska dolls

The Rosemaling fabric arrived from Spoonflower super quick, I was very impressed! The design size and clarity is amazing. I love the colors too, very vivid!

I love the Traditional Norwegian Telemark Rosemaling design. My living room/dining room/kitchen are all in Scandinavian motifs, with blue, black, and white as the focal colours. I have various Norwegian and Swedish rosemaling patterns, as well as other Scandinavian objects, decorating the above rooms. This is one more piece to finishing the look. This pattern is truly lovely and perfect in the overall look of the above rooms.

Love the wraparound graphics of the Telemark artwork! Gives your items a very up-to-date feel. My Dad was a master rosemaler, so I really appreciate a great job!
