The Swedish masterpiece....

Fanny & Alexander - the long version, 5 hours long...a delight in beauty, joy, (evil) and acting. Bergman knew the Swedish "frame of mind" inside and out. To enjoy (and understand) this film in its original language....is a privilege.

The photography by Sven Nykvist needs no words.

Merry Christmas....

The Atlantic....

Leão D'Ouro....

..for over 100 years at Rua 1º de Dezembro 105. Closed 2024....😣

Calçada da Estrela....

Rådhuset....

Junggrens Café....

After some changes throughout the last decades (and none for the better)... Junggrens closed its doors after 129 years. Sad - in terms of old cafés and restaurants, almost nothing left in this city 😢 

So long, Marianne....
