Travel theme: Sensory

 

Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack ? wants us to use our senses – and one of the places where most senses are at work is the Jokhang temple in Tibet. The dense smoke and all the people – eating, waiting, praying…

Vid det heligaste templet, Jokhang, ligger offerröken tung

…and the Tibetan landscape…its vastness and immense beauty, Its total silence is overwhelming.

WPC: Half-Light

One of my favourite poets is William Butler Yeats – here a poem for the WordPress’ Challenge Half-Light.

He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven
William Butler Yeats

Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Thursday Thoughts – A Man and His Dog

I have spent a couple of days at a seaside resort on the west coast. We had some sunshine and a slightly chilly wind, and enjoyed the stay very much.

Last night and late evening, we walked the pier before dinner.

Many dogs were out walking their masters, but I especially noticed this man and his best friend. They had that special friendship that made them play so well together.

The way it should be between man and dog. Between best friends.

Just watch them together. The listening and total understanding – no loud voices…

…but talking all the time…

Cooperation – and perfect understanding

Who needs anything more?

 

I wish you all a Happy and Joyful Easter Holiday!

 

 

 

Travel theme: Creative

I am working on a photo book for my parents, and came across this old photo…Some years ago there was a competition about recycling milk Tetra Paks, and my son and daughter immediately wanted to participate. Here is what they came up with. Sowing together all these by hand…Emma wearing the dress and David photographing and editing.

Not very comfortable…but they almost won the whole competition – second prize in Sweden!

Being creative is always great fun – click here for more!
