Now we have reached 2018. Time to look back at the year that was. Before I get to my usual Top Twenty listomania I would like to reminisce some special music-related events I was lucky to be a part of in 2017. Experiences that fall out of the usual categories.

One of them was my acoustic one-song-concert just for me (well, and a few other listeners around the garden fence...) with Jens Lekman. I was number two in a series of seven of those mini-shows at Badesøen Festival at the end of July.

We had all won this one-of-a-kind intimate concert experience through the radio station The Lake which is one of the main forces behind the festival (acually an eighth person had won as well - but somehow never showed up).

This “happening” with Jens Lekman wasn’t the only pop-up show during the festival. Actually, there were so many many of them that I totally missed out on quite a few of them, as I later found out. So when it was my turn to lake the chair opposite of Jens Lekman, shortly afterwards a percussionist started with her pop-up-show not far away. At first it was a bit annoying, but then I moved my chair closer and enjoyed that the pure acoustic version of Some Dandruff On Your Shoulder.

Apparently, Jens Lekman also enjoyed this special kind of concert himself.

Later that day, I (and everybody else) could enjoy another pop-up show with him - this time amplified on the stage for kids’ music.

Let’s hope that this year the festival will pop up again with a hat full of magic music tricks.

小心主角變配角？歐洲最搶鏡的彩色城鎮～～

(Photo by More pics than views…, License: CC BY 3.0, 圖片來源)

大家都喜歡在景色優美的地方拍照，不過你有沒有想過：有時因為背景太漂亮，反而可能會讓你成為照片中的「路人甲」？歐洲就是有這麼幾座「危險」的城市，由於太過色彩繽紛，常讓人合影時莫名「神隱」！快來看看究竟是哪些地方，可能讓你誤觸「雷區」啊！（>__<”）

1. 法國・艾吉桑

木頭結構外露的建築、搭配斜斜的屋頂，塗上紅、黃、綠、藍等色彩的房子，讓艾吉桑（Eguisheim）怎麼看都像存在於童話中⋯⋯位於亞爾薩斯省（Alsace）「酒鄉之路」上，這座小鎮不但生產高品質的葡萄酒，還曾獲選為「法國最漂亮的小鎮」以及「最受法國人喜愛的小鎮」呢！

(Photo by jean melis, License: CC BY 3.0, 圖片來源)

距離科瑪（Colmar）只有5公里，位於海拔210公尺��的艾吉桑，人口不到2,000人，每年卻吸引大批人潮湧入。來到這裡除了穿梭巷弄間、尋訪美麗的房舍外，也別錯過拜訪古老城堡、教堂以及噴泉的機會喔～～

2. 義大利・布拉諾島

在威尼斯潟湖（Venetian Lagoon）上，除了威尼斯以外，還有一大亮點——布拉諾島（Burano）。說是亮點，還真是亮點，島上色彩鮮豔到彷彿都要滴出顏料的小屋，實在是非常吸睛啊！

(Photo by Chris 73, License: CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons提供)

布拉諾島距離威尼斯只有7公里，可以從聖馬可廣場搭乘40分鐘的水上巴士前往，而它幾乎可說是迷你版的威尼斯，同樣是由運河和小島組成的群島，彼此間以大大小小的橋梁相通。

下次去威尼斯時，記得抽空到布拉諾逛逛囉。 

3. 義大利・五漁村

(Photo by Valeriano Della Longa from Rome, Italy, License: CC BY 2.0, 圖片來源)

在義大利地中海沿岸，被稱為「義大利里維拉」（Italian Riviera）的利古里亞��岸（Riviera Ligure），坐落著數十座小鎮，它們夾在狹窄的海岸線和崎嶇的山脈間，形成非常獨特的風景，其中最知名的要屬五漁村（Cinque Terre）。不過，當地位居險峻之境的村落不計其數，五漁村之所以能「殺出重圍」，全靠色彩明亮的房舍，大舉擄獲眾人目光。

(Photo by Angelo nastri nacchio, License: CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons提供)

從北到南由蒙泰羅索（Monterosso）、韋爾納扎（Vernazza）、科爾尼利亞（Corniglia）、馬納羅拉（Manarola）和里奧馬焦雷（Riomaggiore）五座小鎮組成，五漁村美的很夢幻。米蘭、羅馬等地都有火車前往，你也可以在當地買張五漁村火車一日券，盡情徜徉於這座依山傍海的彩色世界⋯⋯

4. 葡萄牙・里斯本

(Photo by Pablo Nieto, License: CC BY-SA 2.0, 圖片來源)

紅與黃，大概是里斯本（Lisboa）最常看見的兩個顏色。除了經常出現在房舍的外牆上以外，紅瓦堆砌的屋頂，以及下半部漆成黃色的電車，更加深了這座葡萄牙首都的鮮明印象！

(Photo by Jose Hidalgo from Punta Arenas y South Lake Tahoe, Chile y California, License: CC BY 2.0, 圖片來源)

不過里斯本還存在著許多顏色，特別是空氣中總飄散著淡淡鄉愁氣息的阿爾法瑪區（Alfama）。訴說著故事的老房子，帶點歲月斑駁的痕跡，顏色也猶如褪去般，呈現淡黃、粉橘、淺綠，水藍等暈染開的淡彩效果⋯⋯

5 . 波蘭・弗次瓦夫

(Photo by Klearchos Kapoutsis from Santorini, Greece, License: CC BY 2.0, 圖片來源)

名稱聽來很陌生，位於波蘭西南方的奧得河（Odra）畔的弗次瓦夫（Wroclaw），可是波蘭僅次於華沙的第二大金融中心。不過吸引遊客到此一遊的，顯然無關這番顯赫背景，反倒是中央集市廣場（Market Square）四周、色彩繽紛到令人聯想起糖果紙盒的建築！

(Photo by Andrzej Otrębski, License: CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons提供)

這座長205公尺、寬175公尺的廣場，洋溢著中世紀風情，林立著市政廳等歷史建築，是一個由11條街道匯集而成的核心。在此轉上一圈，文藝復興、新藝術、風格主義和巴洛克式等橫跨各時期風格的建築，猶如捲軸般在你眼前一一展開⋯⋯

6. 羅馬尼亞・錫吉什瓦拉

(Photo by Aw58, License: CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons提供) 

提起羅馬尼亞，你是不是和Iris一樣先想到吸血鬼德古拉公爵（Count Dracula）呢？那麼讓我再告訴你，錫吉什瓦拉（Sighisoara）可是這位吸血鬼界代表人物的原型——瓦拉幾亞大公（Prince of Wallachia）弗拉德三世（Vlad III the Impaler,）的故鄉！不過不用害怕，這座城市一點既不陰森也不駭人，反而填滿五顏六色的房舍，讓人看得眼花撩亂哪～～

(Photo by Cezar Suceveanu, License: CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons提供)

位於外西凡尼亞（Transylvania）的歷史區域，這座環繞圍牆的中世紀小鎮，因為瀰漫古老的氣息，而被認為是歐洲有人居住的堡壘中最美且保存最完善的一座。12世紀時，錫吉什瓦拉因聚集大量手工藝匠而聞名，城牆內的小屋依舊保羅了這段歷史痕跡，至於大大小小的塔樓，更是它的一大特色。

7. 丹麥・哥本哈根

(Photo by Marshallhenrie, License: CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons提供)

(Photo by Edgar El, License: CC BY 3.0, 圖片來源)

曾經被評選為「最適合居住的城市」以及「最佳設計城市」，丹麥首都哥本哈根（Copenhagen）是一座充滿活力的城市，雖然有著歐洲其中一處最重要的洛可可建築群：腓特列堡（Frederiksstaden），以及哥本哈根歌劇院等造型酷炫的現代建築，不過能讓人拿起相機狂拍到欲罷不能的，恐怕還是以各色建築拼命掙得路人青睞的新港（Nyhavn）吧。

(Photo by Bert Kaufmann from Roermond, Netherlands, License: CC BY 2.0, 圖片來源)

興建於17世紀、位於國王廣場（Kongens Nytorv）旁的濱海地帶，這座延伸著運河的娛樂「城」，聚集著咖啡廳、酒吧、餐館和許多木造船隻，展現出獨特的海港風情，特別是成排17～18世紀的聯棟住宅，外觀雖大���小異，卻各個「塗脂抹粉」，使出渾身解數和鄰居爭奇鬥豔一番～～

8. 瑞典・斯德哥爾摩

(Photo by Julian Herzog, License: CC BY 4.0, Wikimedia Commons提供)

由14座島嶼和一座半島組成的斯德哥爾摩（Stockholm），最初從位於Stadsholmen島的老城（Gamla Stan）發跡。700年來，包括皇宮（Kungliga Slottet）、大教堂（Storkyran）和舊交易所（Börsen）等主要建築，在此落地生根，其中核心中的核心，就是大廣場（Stortorget）。

(Photo by Bengt Nyman, License: CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons提供)

位於交易所前方的大廣場，是哥本哈根最熱鬧的地方，打從中世紀開始，這裡就是集市中心，當然也是行刑示眾的不二之選。所幸這項血腥的傳統，已經和廣場上那口水井中的水一樣消失無蹤，今天在這座廣場上，能看到最鮮豔的顏色，只有四周漂亮建築迷人的色彩囉。

9. 冰島・雷克雅維克

(Photo by Christine Zenino from Chicago, US, License: CC BYA 2.0, 圖片來源)

地理位置上非常接近北極圈的雷克雅維克（Reykjavik），是全世界最北的首都。如果有機會從高處往下看，你會發現這座城市看似花花綠綠，其實其中穿插著不少白色房舍。妙的是，它們幾乎都維持著純淨的色彩，這點和當地大力利用溫泉和地熱發電，鮮少使用石油或煤炭等污染性能源有關。

(Photo by Bjørn Giesenbauer, License: CC BY-SA 2.0, 圖片來源)

(Photo by Dragan Maksimovic, License: CC BY-SA 3.0, 圖片來源)

或許是因為許多房舍只有屋頂漆上其他顏色，因此雖然這座城市給人色彩豐富的印象，卻也多了一種罕見的輕爽氣息。此外，沿街道排列的建築，像放得整整齊齊盒裝的牛奶，讓人好像走進超大型積木拼組而成的趣味世界呢⋯⋯

25 Stunning Examples of Tilt-Shift Photography

Tilt-Shift photography can produce some amazing images, we covered how to create the effect in Photoshop before, but eactly what is it ?

Tilt–shift photography refers to the use of camera movements on small- and medium-format cameras, and sometimes specifically refers to the use of tilt for selective focus, often for simulating a miniature scene. Sometimes the term is used when the shallow depth of field is simulated with digital post-processing; the name may derive from the tilt–shift lens normally required when the effect is produced optically.

So essentially, different parts of the image are in focus which gives the over all effect of viewing a miniature scene. With that in mind, lets take a look at 25 amazing photos which use this effect for great results …

Body Building, Eat Smart

Body Building, Eat Smart

by Bjørn Giesenbauer Body Building, Eat Smart Now we all know that by consuming more calories than you are burning off your body will store it as fat and if you burn more calories than you are consuming you will lose it. However when dieting your body can counteract against the lack of calorie intake so you must make sure you are consuming the right amount of calories, not too much and not too…

Italy Is Failing Its Next Generation

Italy is failing its next generation

View of the Piazza del Duomo in Milan, Italy, November 24, 2009 (Bjørn Giesenbauer)

Italy is creating a lost generation.

Consider the following statistics, some taken from the Financial Times:

30 percent of Italians between the ages of 15 and 24 are out of work, more or less the same rate as in Spain but almost double the eurozone average.

Of those in work, the majority are on temporary contracts.

Folking up Aarhus, Denmark - Melodica Festival Aarhus 2012

This past weekend I was one of the headline acts at Melodica Festival Aarhus 2012, and what a wonderful weekend it was. I don’t want to ramble on, but it was such an enlightening experience to once again be around talented artists from all over the world and get to play in front of so many appreciative fans of acoustic music. Yes them Danish sure know how to drink, dance, shout and open their hearts and even their homes to such old troupadours such as myself. Especially thanks to Mads who opened his home to us and listened to our drunken stories until 6am! My performance at the festival went down better than I expected, and I was joined on stage by Jonas Dahl and Halla Norðfjörð on Man Kingdom which was a nice touch. I also played a brand new song called ‘Hold The Silence’ and it’s the second only song I have written in almost 2 years! Basically, since I left Iceland I have written nothing, but had a bunch of ideas. I played it on electric guitar and it rocked out nicely, emotionally!

In fact, this was the first gig I have played in a while. The past year has been a rough rough time, in my personal life in many regards and I am now coming out of a very difficult period of my life here in Berlin and getting ready to set sail once again come this July! I will be going on tour with Douglas First and Jonas Dahl throughout Europe, and I can hardly wait! It is time for music and sunlight to grace my life again, and God knows I deserve it!  

Thanks for the amazing pics by Bjørn Giesenbauer.

Young Italians Blame EU, But Their Problems Are Homegrown

Young Italians blame EU, but their problems are homegrown

View of the Piazza del Duomo in Milan, Italy, November 24, 2009 (Bjørn Giesenbauer) In most European countries, young people are more supportive of the EU than their elders. In Italy, Politico reports, the trend is reversed. If a referendum on EU membership were hold, one in two Italians under the age of 45 would vote to leave. Only a quarter of those over 45 would do the same. Younger voters’…
