PhotoHunt - space

This firestation from 1865 was once big enough. Nowadays the fire engines need much more space.

If you need more space - please visit the home of the PhotoHunt.

Love your technique. You'll have to tell how you do it.; March 7, 2009 at 5:44 AM

Charlotte - FO² said...: Så søt brannstasjon. Så koselig om vi hadde hatt sånne i dag, en skjønner at det kan bli litt smått ja :)

Du finner utrolig mange flotte motiver!!! :)

Likte fargene innmari godt. Litt old style over bildet :)

ha en super helg!; March 7, 2009 at 11:40 AM
Anonymous said...: Den gang da var dette sikkert en flott brannsatasjon. Om dagen idag stiller helt andre krav, så utgjør den i hvert fall fremdeles et flott motiv.
Liker stemningen du har fått fram!

Pernille said...: Heia Tante Lene:)

Her er jeg,lille Leo å skriver noen ord til deg. Jeg bruker bestemor som skribent;)

Så koselig kommentar du la inn da jeg ble født. Bestemor og hele gjengen ble sååååå glad for den. Ja jeg også, for bestemor sa hun så et lite sjarmørsmil;)

Klart jeg er oppkalt etter tante Lene. Leo og Lene passer perfekt ihop! Bestemor sier at du og onkel Jovi er sååå hærlige mennesker, så da gleder jeg meg til sommeren. Kanskje vi treffes da:) Jeg håper på det!

Ha det no godt i Drammen. No skal jeg trimme bestemor litt. Jeg elsker bare at hun går å bysser på meg og skjemmer meg bort;)

Stor varm klem med babylukt til deg fra "tantebanet" ditt <3<3<3; March 7, 2009 at 2:58 PM

GAWO said...: Stilig bygning. Det rare er at jeg syntes taggingen passet inn :-) Sikkert på grunn av fargene.; March 7, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Aalerud Stall said...: Hei Lene:-)

Så koselig at du stikker innom, og for all del ikke ha dårlig samvittighet for det med kommentarer; jeg er ofte innom din blogg, men det er ikke alltid jeg rekker å legge igjen en kommentar, altså:-)

Jeg er som sagt ofte innom bloggen din, for jeg blir i godt humør av de flotte bildene dine! Du er fantastisk flink til å fange stemninger, og for meg er det avgjørende for et godt bilde:-)
Virkelig et minne om en svunnen tid, denne brannstasjonen... Noen ganger tenker jeg at alt var enklere og dermed bedre før, men når jeg tenker meg om så skjønner jeg at det sikkert var mer strevsomt, også!

Hos oss er det veeeldig strevsomt om dagen, for lillegull fikk oppkastsyke på torsdag og natt til i dag fikk resten av familien det! Alle sammen! Ikke noe moro det, altså...

Ha en flott lørdagskveld! Håper praksisen din går bra:-)

Klem fra Britt:-); March 7, 2009 at 8:26 PM
Olga T said...: Fin gammal brandstation! Här river de de gamla nu när de byggt ny. Lite synd faktiskt men det är klart man kan inte spara på alla gamla byggnader. Den här var dock värd att spara. Bra fotat!; March 7, 2009 at 9:41 PM

this is extremely well captured.

I'm looking forward to the Summer, when we can discover secrets at the Hurum-pennisuale together and present it to the whole World. Yeah?; March 7, 2009 at 10:22 PM

I also love the rest of your work. Thanks for dropping by my blog.; March 7, 2009 at 11:38 PM

Heart of Rachel said...: I think it's a beautiful, old fire station. I guess because of modern times, there is a need for larger space.; March 8, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Tiril said...: Hei Lene.
Lenge siden nå, jeg er da stadig innom å kikker på dine utrolig flotte fotografier, må liksom titte innom deg, har jo fulgt deg fra jeg startet med blogging.
Blir lite med meg om dagen, både på butikk blogg, og den litt mer personlige, det er som om luften har gått ut av meg, men der er noen her inne i denne bloggverden som gjør at jeg holder litt igjen.
Jeg savner veldig interiørbloggen din, selv om du her serverer oss bilder av høy kvalitet
Det blir ferre innlegg fra min side, er liksom gått helt tom.
Her våres det for fullt, har igrunnen tenkt meg litt vårrengjøring idag, vaska vinduer igår, de var like møkkete inne som ute, mye stearinlys å fyr på peisen har satt sine spor gjennom en lang vinter.
Mister nesten motet når sola står på, der er støv og skitt over alt, det var da jeg fant ut at en pause med bloggen var lurt, det var så lenge siden jeg hadde hørt fra deg.Håper du har det bra og koser deg i forhåpenligvis vår vær.
mange gode klemmer fra meg.; March 8, 2009 at 11:19 AM

Så gøy!
Flotte bilder av gamle brannstasjonen:)
Skulle bare ønske det ikke var så fristende for ungdommen å tagge på sånn gamle bygg!

Ha en fin uke Lene!

Sol said...: Jeg nyter de flotte bildene dine...., og tenker at jeg har alt for lite tid og alt for lite inspirasjon og overskudd til å fotografere så mye selv for tiden. Håper at det endrer seg. men du, det jeg egentlig ville si, var at Tussi(katten vår) trakk deg ut til en liten ekstrapremie i trekningen min.....Er ikke den katten god du?? ;-} Stor klem fra meg.; March 8, 2009 at 11:29 PM

Kathrine said...: Hei på deg du:)
Ja, en kan rett og slett ikke rekke over alt. Lurte litt da jeg både ga meg med på abc og mandagstema, men så lenge en har masse bilder liggende, går det bra.
Almanakken er funnet i ett verksted. Vi er så heldige å ha mange gamle hus å rote rundt i. Jeg er nok en ihuga antikvitetsjeger blitt ja:)
Mest på møbler og snurrepiperier, gamle redskap og ja...det meste ellers. Bøker og porselen, gamle leker, lommeur..Nei nå roter jeg meg bort. Blir bare så ivrig:)

Flott gammelt hus!! Der skulle jeg gjerne vært inni ja!! Ingen overraskelse at jeg samler på gamle brannslukningsapparater og?

Ha en fin fin mandagskveld:)); March 9, 2009 at 7:35 PM
