Traditional

The small fishing boats on Malta are still kept very traditional in clear blue, red and yellow and with a Eye of Horus (or Osiris) for good luck at the prow. They are called a luzzu, if they're double-ended or a kajjik, if they have a square transom.

Basilica again

The last post from Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen for now is this photo the Basilica with the traditional Christmas decorations as a frame. Despite the more negative voices I've heard about this year's Russian theme, I actually think Tivoli has done a good job of weighing the traditional Danish Christmas with the Russian one. Just because it's new and foreign doesn't mean that it's not good.

Still Traditional

I've heard some people complaining that it's not traditional to have a Russian Christmas in Tivoli and that the kids will be disappointed about it. Well, I'm not sure if these people has actually been around the gardens much or if they have only seen the Russian area, because there's still a lot of traditional stuff here. Outside the Restaurant Grøften patrons are greeted by this Santa in full gear and the gardens are filled to the brim with ordinary Christmas decorations, so yes, it's still very much a traditional Christmas here.

Easter Sunday

Today is Easter Sunday and though Easter has its traditions some of these are just a bit peculiar. I don't know where the Easter Bunny fits in but here he is with the Danish cartoon character Rasmus Klump greeting guests in Tivoli in Copenhagen.
