Nils Pokrupa brought house #2.2 on an expedition to Legoland on June 18. 2013. The short version of the expedition story is told in the above pictures where the house is documented on the way there first on the Öresund bridge, then in the Öresund Tunnel and finally at LEGOland in Billund, Denmark.

As a curiosity, the Öresund bridge also figured in an earlier expedition to Malmö.

We trust that the visit to Legoland was as enjoyable to the Pokrupa familty as can ever as good as can be hoped for. Congratulations to you all on your successful expedition and fair winds for your future adventures.

John-Olof Vinterhav brought Moonhouse #2.23 to the Church of nativity in Bethlehem in June 2013

John-Olof Vinterhav brought Moonhouse #2.23 to the Church of nativity in Bethlehem in June 2013

The MoonHouse in the Middle East June 2013.
What could be a better stopover for the Moon House than the House of Stars, the Nativity Church in Bethlehem. There it could indulge in the light of fire as well as enjoy the company of stars. On its visit to Jerusalem it touched base with Al Aqsa which lent some golden glory and spiritual power for the onward journey.

This report from Jerusalem and Bethlehem reached the Moonhouse Expedition HQ a few days ago. John-Olof Vinterhav brought the house to so many places at once when he brought it to the Holy Land; Into history, religion, politics and more.

The Church of nativity and the Dome of rock are two of the places on Earth that are considered closest to heaven, if in a metaphysical sense. The Church of Nativity stands on the very place where Christians believe that Jesus Christ was born and the Dome of the Rock enshrines the place where Jews believe that God tested Abraham and Muslims believe that the Profet Muhammed ascended into heaven. (Correct me if I am wrong here.)
In this sense it is even more symbolic that the house only sees the Dome of the Rock in a distance as we have yet to reach the Moon.

We congratulate John-Olof Vinterhav on his successful expedition and wish him fair winds on his coming adventures.

John Olof has now passed Moonhouse #2.23 to Daniel Ahlberg for a road trip expedition to California and we take the opportunity to wish fair winds to Daniel on his expedition.

John Olof Vinterhav brought Moonhouse #2.23 to the Nativity Church in Bethlehem in June of 2013. The entrance to the church is the modest rectangular opening in the wall to the left of the house.

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.

Interested in the Moonhouse

Sini Merikallio in Finland is breaking new grounds with these absolutely stunning pictures of beautiful animals posing with the house. Sini writes:

Dessa bilder är från Skomarböle, Mörskom, Finland. Den bruna hästen är en finnhäst, Lillin-Tyttö och hundarna är labradorerna Emmi (svart) och Eevi (ljus).

Or in English:

These pictures are from Skomarböle, Mörskom, Finland. The brown horse is a finnhorse Lillin-Tyttö and the dogs are the labradores Emmi (black) and Eevi (blonde)

Be sure to check out these and more images together with Sinis own comments on her flickr Moonhouse-page.

At HQ we had never thought about the house in the Animal Kingdom but presented with this expedition we are again in awe of the creativity of Sini and the ideas of the Moonhouse Explorers. In recognition of Sinis expedition to Finland and the Animal Kingdom, Moonhouse #2.14 will henceforth be known as #2.14 – The Animal Kingdom. We congratulate Sini on her successful expedition and wish her fair wind on her coming adventures. Rumour has it that Sini already has plans for the house, the unfolding of which we look forward to with great interest.

Moonhouse Expedition under watchful eyes

Moonhouse Expedition on planet finnhorse

Moonhouse Expedition - unexpected interruption! No worries, Emmi has a very "soft" mouth, so no damage to the house.

Fredrik Zeybrandt brought house #2.4 to Louisiana in Denmark on May 13, 2013

Fredrik Zeybrandt brought house #2.4 to Louisiana in Denmark on May 13, 2013

The house has explored yet another great country! This time Fredrik Zeybrandt has brought Moonhouse #2.4 to Louisiana in Denmark. Denmark is very close to the house due to its close relation to the beautiful colours red and white, the colours of Dannebrogen its red and white flag and associated football cheering song, ”Vi ær røde, vi ær hvide”*.

Louisiana is the well known museum of moderna art located north of Copenhagen. Among the current exhibitions are one with Yoko Ono. Note how the house seems to levitate in these surroundings.

*”Vi ær røde, vi ær hvide” translates to ”We are red, we are white”.

20130528 #2.31 Håkan & Jennifer Askaner Republiken Jemtland

Today, this arrived from Jennifer and Håkan Askaner, representatives of the proud people of Jämtland through the movement ”Republiken Jemtland”:

”Här kommer ett foto på huset på besök i republiken Jämtland. Färgerna i bilden representerar den Jämtländska flaggan. Grönt för skog, vitt för fjäll och blå för den klara himmelen. Där passar huset perfekt!

Vi föreslår att bilden ackompanjeras av denna låt:
Merit Hemmingson – Gammal jämtländsk brudmarsch (Jämtlandssången)

Utfört av Håkan och Jennifer Askaner.
28 maj 2013
Frösön, Jämtland, Sverige

Vänliga hälsningar!”

It translates to:

Here is a photo of the house visiting the Republic of Jämtland. The coulours in the picture represent the flag of Jämtland. Green represents forest, white represents mountains and blue represnents the clear sky. A perfekt setting for the house!

We suggest that the picture is set to the tune of:
Merit Hemmingson – Gammal jämtländsk brudmarsch (Jämtlandssången)

Accomlished by Håkan and Jennifer Akaner.

Frösön, Jämtland, Sverige

Kind regards,

We extend out gratitude to Håkan and Jennifer for endavouring on this expedition to Jämtland and for capturing and sharing the lovely images. Congratulations to the completion of the first expedition of Moonhouse #2.31. In honour of this first expedition House #2.31 will hereafter be know as the Republiken Jemtland.

We wish Håkan and Jennifer fair winds in their future adventures.

Enjoy the music.

Carl Nordlund brought the house the Hamburg University on May 26, 2013.

Ich bin ein Hamburger! Ronald Reagan famously put it when he visited Berlin. Now the house can proudly say so too. Carl Nordlund brought house #2.9 to the University of Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany on May 26, 2013. Why the house is posing with the Sunbelt poster is unclear but maybe, and unknown to the author of this post, Hamburg is know as the Sunbelt in Germany.

Bad weather in Hamburg makes house #2.9 long for the sun.
