More Patterns – Cold and Warm
Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge: Corners
Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past y4-01
Traces of the past – in Segovia, Spain. The most impressive aqueduct, for Paula at Lost in Translation.
Thursday Thoughts – Life Patterns
Tylösand, maybe the most famous beach area in the southern part of Sweden. Two hours away from me – as usual, click the pictures to enlarge.
We spent two glorious days there this week, in the low, winter sun. Walking two early hours on the beach, I realized how many possible patterns there are in a lifetime.
To See a World in a Grain of Sand…
Maybe you, for a long time, follow a straight road, a pattern cut out for you…
… there may be waves on your path – but they can be waves of beauty and learning
Many times Life gets more complicated, but you can still feel the pattern…it has not left you unattended…
Troubles will come your way, but you will sort them out in the end – you have to…
New paths and patterns will open up, and the skies above will again be crispy blue
Sometimes you can trace your footprints back to harmony – but then again, you might even discover bright new paths and find new, wonderful Life Patterns.
Safe Travels!
WPC: Weathered
This weathered Castle we found in a forlorn place in the Spanish countryside. We saw the pinnacles sticking up from the treetops and headed for it. A fairy tale castle!
Anniversary – Again!
Bilradion släpper ut ljudkombinationer som tränger in i mitt påväghemkörningsmedvetande. En ny planet är funnen. Igen. Den här gången är den i storlek med Vår Jord. ”Betydelsefullt”. ”Viktigt”. Säger man där borta i USA. Men den är för nära sin stjärna, den nya planeten – och således alldeles för het. Ytterst vill man finna liv – naturligtvis. Och sen? Om vi finner liv? Vi har en ny värld att förstöra, nytt liv att döda, nytt. Om igen. Ingenting hos mänskligheten i mänsklighetens historia kan övertyga mig om att vi skulle ha lärt oss av gamla misstag. Lycklig skulle jag bli – om Du kunde övertyga mig om motsatsen.
7 years ago I started blogging with WordPress. I hoped for a way to communicate my thoughts and peculiarities – I think I wrote something about that on my About page…Since then I have met so many wonderful people out there, got so many beautiful friends and learned so much, growing with you over the years. Thank you, all!
So…Who was I 7 years ago? In many ways much the same – but then again not…
Today I am sharing my very first post – only in Swedish at that time. The English translation would be something like this:
Driving home I listen to the many sounds seeping out from the radio. A new planet has been discovered. Again. This time, the size of our own Planet Earth. ”Important”, they say over there, in the US. But this new planet is soaring too close to its star, and thus being too hot. Too hot for new Life to be found on its surface. Because that is what the scientists want to find – of course. And then? If we find Life? Then we have a new world to destroy, new living beings to kill. Again. Nothing in mankind or in the history of mankind can convince me that we have learned from history, from previous mistakes.
Nothing would make me happier than – if you could convince me otherwise.
Wordless Wednesday
CFFC: Letter U – Needs to have the letters O and U in the word
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Letter U – Needs to have the letters O and U in the word
An outdoor shot that speaks to my soul – for Cee this week.
Finally – A Bright and Sunday Hike
My winter moodiness lifted today
10 degrees below zero (C) – a frosty, crisp and clear day!
Hiking for some hours – breathing and staying outdoors as long as…
…the sun was up
By 3.pm it is time to go home
As we turn back, the sun is setting and the rays are orange warm
The leaves of 2017 lingering still, basking…
I turn around for a last shot – and the forest is glowing. Soon only the highest tree tops. I cannot say how grateful I am for this day. Not to talk about Totti – rocketing through the forest, rolling in the cool frostiness, barking with joy.
