The Swedish king Karl XI (Charles XI) tried to use elks (moose) as a substitute for the expensive horses. He never managed to train them though even if he had them brought up from they where pups (foals?), I thought I'd give them another chance though, they are pretty common in our country.
Transportation for that which we call winter

ReplyDeleteyour work is wanderfull!!!
hi, I discover your work few time ago and i like it so much!
ReplyDeleteKarl must be a common name for a king! Is this a royal version of a trailer (or in UK a caravan)? Are there royal trailer parks?
ReplyDeleteThanks all
ReplyDeleteNo the royals have to do with ordinary trailers as of now, but I expect their will be progress in this field pretty soon ;)
Dear Mathias,
ReplyDeletethank you for answering me on my blog. Your infos were very very useful! I didn't know that I could do so many things on my blog! It's a new world. This summer i'm coming for holyday in Sweden! Can you suggest me some nice places or museum to see? I've never been there!
See you
Francesca
There is a lack of pig baroque on this house...
ReplyDelete;)

Their is a pig peeping put of one window! it's not baroque though more of a renaissance swine.
ReplyDeleteFrancesca that depends on what parts of Sweden you're planning to visit, the Archipelago, both in Stockholm and in Gothenburg/bohuslän is well worth a visit. In Stockholm there's a great collection of Museums, Wasa an 17th century ship, Skansen an open air museum with animals and old houses. There is a museum for contemporary art called Moderna museet. I'm not up to everything in Stockholm though but hope to be soon again. In Gothenburg the Universeum is well worth a visit.
Uau!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
with this paper ,It's more but very more interessant...
Thanks Jean Claude
ReplyDeletei believe moose and elk have calves. interesting what we call moose in the u.s., you call elk in europe. But what do you call elk? elk?
ReplyDeletejust a little intercultural trivia for you.
love the pigs!
In Swedish moose/elk is called Älg, I have always used moose though, (I think the muppet show has something to do with this). Elk in Sedish is called hjort, or the larger one kronhjort.
ReplyDeletethanks
