House on Earth

The Moonhouse on Earth. To learn how to run, one must first learn how to walk. Here is a homage to all the houses on Earth to which the Moonhouse must relate. (The Swedish word ”jord” has the dual meanings of ”Earth” and ”earth”).
House #2.21 encountered Earth on May 1, 2013 with Emil Vinterhav in Bromma.
Nils Pokrupa broght House #2.2 The Sälen to Kalmar Slott on April 14, 2013.
What a meeting between light weight and massivity when Nils Pokrupa brings Moonhouse #2.2 to Kalmar Slott, or Kalmar Castle. House #2.2 is the very house that has previously explored the hilltops in Sälen. Thank you Nils for bringin the house on this successful Expedition.
Fair winds on your coming adventures!
#2.28 Field test
After a brief field test in the lokal flora Moonhouse #2.28 left port and set sail for Patrik Wennberg today.
We look forward to hearing about the adventures of Patrik and Moonhouse #2.28.
Fair winds!
#2.21 in Music – Our house, in the middle of a street
In the path of making the house ubiquitous the house has broken new ground this last week. First in sprorts when the house was present at the home coming game in Alabama, then in the cyckle of nature when the house found spring and now in Music. Behold, House #2.21, Our house, in the middle of a street., the ever green song by Madness.
#2.15 at University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa
Mike Morrison posted this picture from his ongoing expedition with Moonhouse #2.15 to the Expeditions facebook page two days ago. (Apologies for the delay Mike, things have been really hectic around here lately.) Mike writes: ”Moonhouse #2.15 got to go to this year’s A-Day Game at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, AL, USA. Roll Tide Roll!!”
It seems that Mike did not only bring the house to Alabama, but also introduced it to the world of sports as a quick search connects the ”A-day” and the ”Crimson tide” (see the flag) to University of Alabama athletics.
Thank you Mike! In honor of this great first flag, crimson and all, and with your permission Mike, Moonhouse #2.15 will henceforth be called ”The Crimson Tide”.
House #2.21 was found in spring of 2013.

20130418 #2.17 Strängnäs 1 – What an absolutely stunning view!
Last night, a few minutes before midninght these absolutely stunning three images reached the Moonhouse Expedition HQ accompanied by the following message:
”Dear Moonhouse Expedition,
I am sending you a few pictures showing house no 2.17’s visit to Strängnäs cathedral, Sweden! My fellow explorer Alberto Forcada and I were privileged to have an exclusive guidance by the enthusiastic cathedral sacristan Stefan Eklund. Stefan showed us the way through narrow stairways all the way to the top – some 75 meters over ground level – whilst telling the story of the old church. Very exciting!
The wind was strong and we had to use sticky tape to prevent the house from being swiped away.
We are now passing house 2.17 on to our friend Lena Bergcoutts for further explorations in Vancouver, Canada.
Fair winds!
Johanna Vinterhav and Alberto Forcada”
20130418 #2.17 Strängnäs 2 – Suugestive, smart and beautiful!
Again, the Moonhouse opens doors and explores the hidden mysteries of the world. Congratulations Alberto and Johanna to the successful completion of a very rewarding expedition and thank you for sharing the beautiful, suggestive and creative images with us. We extend our gratitude also to Stefan Eklund for his important contribution to this successful expedition and welcome him to become an explorer in his own right should he so desire. In recognition of this successful expedition, house #2.17 shall hereafter be known as ”The Strängnäs”.
With the house on a passage across the Atlantic into the care of Lena Bergcoutts in Vancouver, Canada, we look forward to sharing the adventures of the future expeditions of #2.17 The Strängnäs, whatever they take it.
20130418 #2.17 Strängnäs 3 – How isolated, and removed the house sits there on a cold slap of stone.
Fair Winds to The Strängnäs!
Moonhouse Expedition
201303 #2.19 Landvetter
Olof Vinterhav surmounted this sand summit with house #2.19 in Landvetter in March 2013.
20130414 – #2.9 In Riverside with Carl Nordlund
Carl Nordlund brought house #2.9 – ”The Budapest” to Riverside California, USA. While there Carl was awarded a The World Foundation Society Award for his work: ”Preceeding and Governing Measurements: An Emmanuelian Conceptualization of Ecological Unequal Exchange”. Congratulations Carl to the award and for the successful completion of the first Moonhouse Expedition across the Atlantic Ocean.
Thanks to the support our great community the expedition has outdone itself once again. This time the houe appears in the land of lions, South Africa.
House in Santon, Johannesburg, South Africa
On April 11, 2013 Tina Holmstedt brought house #2.16 to Sandton in Johannesburg, South Africa. This is by far the most south that the house has appeared thus far. Congratulations to your successful expedition Tina and thank you for your generous contribution to Moonhouse Expedition. We wish you fair winds in coming adventures with and without the house.
In honour of this first expedition, house #2.16 will hereafter be called ”The Santon”.
