CFFC: Topic is Fun or Flowers

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter F – Topic is Fun or Flowers

Why not both? Now I will take a short blog break to go away and have some fun myself too! See you next week!

Some Chocolate?

Last summer I bought a Chocolate flower for my garden. The scent is …chocolate… at its best. I also love the rich dark colour of it. In fact this is one of the few surviving plants this wet and cold summer. I wonder if someone knows its real name?

Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past

For Paula’s Traces of the Past – a picture taken in Rom’s Ostia Antica. A magnificent place to stroll and marvel at our ancestor’s architecture.

 

 

Thursday Thoughts – Avenues

Avenues…trees. In spring, summer, autumn or winter… They inspire and give comfort. The closeness, the narrow path or road in between…

They make me – they force me – to stop and feel the athmosphere, take a photo, enjoy.

I love all constellations. firs, pine trees, birches, aspen, oak trees… I do not have to walk in there, I am completely satisfied with standing still, breathing the air and the feeling…

Travel theme: Steps

Travel theme: Steps

Steps and stairs always speak to you, don’t they. The material is of course important, and the age. As often for me, I love the old ones best. Worn down, used for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Ostia Antica, Italy. A theatre, yes, but you also have to walk the steps to get to your seat. And in the header, old steps leading to a house in the abandoned village Castro in western Spain.

Somehow I see the theater’s steps as going down – while in Castro the steps are leading upwards.
