Weekly Photo Challenge: Room

7 juni, 2014 / Leya / 31 kommentarer

This week’s photo challenge is called Room – for us to interpret the way we feel. A room for me to love, must contain flowers and plants and it must contain books. As books and humidity don’t go that well together, my real dream will never come true. There will have to be at least two rooms… But, here’s a dream medley, finished off with what comes closest – in my home.

Books are of course essential in my room

And flowers – orchids are not wrong…

…colours and shapes…

…and divine compositions…

…in a warm stillness.

I admire people who don’t tear down buildings – but recreate. This is the old railwaystaion hall in Madrid.

Weekly Travel theme: Cities

31 maj, 201431 maj, 2014 / Leya / 25 kommentarer

Cities are maybe not my favourites…but I do like to visit larger cities when I’m abroad – for many reasons. Something of what cities mean to me will hopefully show here:

Weekly Photo Challenge: Twist

24 maj, 201424 maj, 2014 / Leya / 30 kommentarer

A film tunnel that twists and turns..turning back time….A big surprise where we least expected it! Kristianstad was once a real film city and renowned as ”Little Paris” This tunnel contains old film memories of the great days back then in 1905 and the 20th C. This week Kristianstad celebrated its 400 years´ jubilée – and the King and Queen attended.

Weekly Travel theme: Metal

Ailsa’s theme this week is about metal. New Zealand again – Metal things found in the sea, metal for a playground in Auckland, for the Zoo, and works of art for the harbour in Auckland. Mostly impressed I was by the most beautiful dustbins I have ever seen – and for the water in the street …have you ever seen such a marvellous detail?

Train from the sea

Found where?

Playground in Auckland harbour

Auckland Zoo

Somewhere and everywhere in NZ

Lovely…just the idea of it…

Weekly Travel theme: Glow

Ailsa’s Travel theme invites us to glow this week. These three beautiful bridges of Budapest surely knew they would be glowing here one day! I loved the green bridge – even at night.

Funny how the results of playing with the camera, entertaining my students, might come of use one day. Here we are exploring Budapest by night.

Monument of an old, once great, lost culture. Today’s China is growing great in another sense.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Patterns

From Cee this week – patterns. Mine are rectangles from a church roof and rings from a bird in the lake. Very different but they give me a nice feeling both of them.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Threshold

5 april, 2014 / Leya / 34 kommentarer

Threshold is the WordPress challenge this week – and the concept might be interpreted in several different ways. I have chosen the thought of walking through an open door into another world.

Tibet and the Sera monastery – the threshold to the debating courtyard where monks are training and enhancing their knowledge of the scriptures and how to interpret them. The debating is fairly lively and very entertaining to watch.
