#2.7 At Nam Phu, Vientiane, Muong Lao, Tim Vistarini, March 8, 2015
Seasoned Explorer Tim Vistarini has brought the Moonhouse #2.7 on an expedition to Vientiane. Nam Phou, is a popular hang out in Vientiane and were it not for the poor lighting conditions in the tropical night in Vientiane we are sure we would have seen the house at the concert that was undoubtedly held the same night as the picture above was taken.
Thank you for sharing this excellent expedition Tim. We hope you had many laughs in Vientiane and fair winds for your coming expeditions!
Finland is really embracing the Moonhouse concept. The below video features not only a house with white corners but, rockets plantets and a moon. We assume that the white finnish snow is mixing in with the red, creating the beautiful pink colour.
According to Sini Merikallio,the song is about travelling to space by ”making scissors with your fingers and cut an opening in the sky”.
Thank you Sini for the link. We appreciate the support from Finland greatly. 🙂

Hi Emil!
Here are some more moonhouse pictures. This time shot on a hill in Menton in Southern France, at the side of the Winged Nike [Winged Victory of Samothrace] if I am not mistaken. There was no sunrise over the Sea available as background for the house but the first rays of light that found their way over the mountains offered pretty lighting. My favourite is 086.
Cheers!

Winged Nike is also known as Winged Victory of Samothrace and has been described as ”the greatest masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture”. We agree that picture 086 (above) is very beautiful indeed but is a hard call to make considering the competition (right).
Congratualtions Christian to your successful expedition to, the Riviera, to the sun, to music (House of the Rising Sun) and to the Gods (Nike).
Expedition HQ was hard presses on wheter to call this house ”The Victory” or ”The House of the Rising Sun” but must settles in the latter: Let Moonhouse henceforth be known as The House of the Rising Sun.
On June 1, 2013. Patrik Wennberg brought the house to New Orleans, USA. Patrik writes:
There is a house in New Orleans.

The Moonhouse brings some colour to the sun baked city of New Orleans. Now there is a house in New Orleans. Could it possibly be the ”House of the Rising Sun”? Another Moonhouse in Music?
Congratulations Patrik on your successful expedition. We wish you fair winds or your coming adventures and hope to hear from coming expeditions of Moonhouse #2.28.
House #2.21 at Sandgrund, Home stage of Sven-Ingvars in Karlstad on May 16, 2013 with Emil Vinterhav
For all of you fans of Sven-Ingvars, the most influential pop-culture to ever come out of Värmland (yes, the Expedition is biased), here we present Moonhouse #2.21 as Sandgrund, legendary home stage of Sven-Ingvars and and a place where the song ”Ett litet rött paket”, translating ”A small red present” in English. In honour of the band the house presents itself as ”Ett litet rött paket med vita knutar” and we entertain a distant hope that Sven-Ingvars will meet the expedition half way and perform the song for us with this encore…
