”Tina asks us to choose 5 images or fewer,” should have been 10 or fewer… I was on the road/ship for some weeks, and now, having seen so many glorious posts from you, I feel I should also post some oldies and goodies – I did not realize I could do that. (Risking you would tire of them, because I have posted them several times before.) So, here are some old, true favourites for you!
I went to an art exhibition some years ago – and this window, with vines growing outside, ended up being my favourite work of art that day. Ethereal, glowing and living lace. The grid makes it even more special. I still remember the amazing feeling seeing the window from inside the building. A favourite ever since.
A lovely winter morning many years ago, at the local lake. The graceful swans floated by in the morning fog, standing out in the thin, cold rays of sun. It makes for an almost otherworldly feeling.
Iceland – I could have chosen so many of my images from this paradise. But, a late winter evening on the beach, brought this golden shine with diamond crested waves. There were diamonds in the black sand as well. (We had snow, but who could imagine that?) The combination made the very special feeling.
One of my all time favourites, maybe the greatest? The Fluela Pass in Switzerland. We drove there two times that day. In the morning, it was nothing, just an ordinary pass – but returning to our hotel that evening, the reflections were stunning. Also the people in the image makes for understanding the shere size of it, giving it perspective.
Finally – at home, a road often travelled with my dog. One warm summer evening, many years ago, the light was soft and yellow, there was no wind and the gravel road looked like a dream. The stretch of the road, curves and structures were enhanced by the light and shadows. I have never seen the road like this since then.
Thank you again, Tina, for a wonderful challenge – hopefully it is OK to do another post!

The window photo is so beautiful, Ann-Christine, is that a real window? I thought at first it was a painting because the texture of it…
so lovely!
All the photos are stunning!
I liked your picture of the swans shining with their own light in the mist. Lovely, Ann-Christine.
These are all stunning!!
Yes! I am happy to see the oldies but goodies. A favorite of mine that I remember from the past is of the Fluela Pass. And the people in the foreground make give it grand perspective. But the lines, reflections. color all of it, truly best of the best. And ”living. lace”? Indeed.
Gorgeous. I love all of them.
Glad you came back with more
I’m so glad you did this follow-up post! These images are all worthy choices but my personal favourites are the first and last 😀
Your pictures are always so serene Ann-Christine! Beautiful. Love that artwork window and the pass in Switzerland.
That’s better. I knew you had more than 5 shots in you 😉
Wonderful post, amazing images. Love of all them!!!
All so very beautiful! Amazing memories, Ann-Christine.
Stunning images all
Ann-Christine these are awesome. Thanks for posting again.
Arriving late I can but copy others . . . and thank you for showing us a few of our favourites again also. Had not seen the very dramatic Fluela Pass before . . . but go back to the warm ‘family’ photo of the swan parents gently watching their family . . .
Well done for collecting more! I have always loved that first image, and the Fluella Pass takes me back to my own visit there and I have no images as I was driving, no time to stop
Oh so wonderful Ann-Christine. I do remember some from the past and still gasped at all of them especially that window 🤗
These are glorious.
That sunlit road!…..Beautiful!
Home sweet home… love it
The sunset is amazing 👍👍👍
WOWZA. I am in love with all these brilliant photos 😀 😀
Ann-Christine, I am so glad you decided to add more of your favorites for the week’s challenge! These are truly stunning. I remember the window image very well and understand why it’s among your choices this week – it’s an amazing example of photography as art. I don’t think I’d seen the swans before – they are ethereal in their grace and the light is perfection. The matching diamonds on the water and beach are wonderful as are your two closing images. Marvelous from start to finish.
These are stunning. The one from Switzerland, extraordinary.
