According to Chinese tradition, the bride always wears red on her wedding day. So, for Sylvain Landry, this week’s wedding pictures come from China. Old tradition in the beautiful water city of Suzhou, and in the header, a modern couple walking the Bond overlooking the Pudong area in Shanghai.
Cars can be fun, but also beautifully decorated. In New Zealand I just loved all the cars wearing innovative signs or being richly decorated. As I am a fern lover – the header car with silver fern caught my eye.
Sylvain Landry loves the colour red – so here is a red Lion as well…
As I have been to Morocco, I am a bit late…but for Sylvain Landry, here is a panorama piece of the Sahara Desert. Three pictures in one. Click to enlarge.
Candle light in Sweden is perhaps mostly connected to winter and Christmas time. In the header, the wreath of box and candles I make every year for our dining room.
For Sylvain Landry – Candle.
Medieval restaurant in Riga – only candle light.
The chandelier in Frösö Church, Jämtland, Sweden.
A simple candle at my winter table.
Yellow is a very special colour. It symbolizes a variety of things; for example the sun, being false (in the language of flowers) and power – only for the emperor of China.
I love yellow, but cannot wear it. Others can with elegance – like houses, vehicles and flowers.

Cars are quite OK…
Spring crops before the storm
Sylvain Landry this week – something essential in our high – tech society – electricity.
The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Yangtze River in China. The Three Gorges Dam is the world’s largest power station with a total electric generating capacity of 22.500MW.
The dam project was started in 1993 and completed in 2012,
As well as producing electricity, the dam is intended to increase the Yangtze River’s shipping capacity and reduce the potential for floods downstream. The Chinese government regards the project as a total success, However, the dam flooded archeological and cultural sites and displaced some 1.4 million people, (See the post on Shibaozhai earlier.) It is also causing significant ecological changes, The Chinese river dolphin became extinguished and there is an increased risk of landslides. The dam was built in an area of potential earthquakes, and the consequences if – this would happen, would be disastrous.
There are two series of ship locks installed – each of them is made up of five stages, with transit time at around four hours. We passed during the night. Looking out from the balcony, this is what we saw.
Sylvain Landry – Women. International Women’s Day.
In the header – The old and the new China.
Young Chinese girl of today
Rome – a connecting nun.
My mother, here 79 years old. Still hiking, still curiously looking forward to things…
A woman – not passé even if she is ageing.
Cook for Sylvain Landry this week. We are all longing for spring and summer now, and I thought I should shake you up a bit… I do not know if the header drinks will fit in, so I add
… the strawberry cake of course!
Sylvain Landry. My favourite theme…Trees. They are an important part of my life. In fact…in many ways they represent Life to me. My Silent Sunday entry from my ”own” forest, should have been my entry here…but I will have to pick another one.
From the Pyrenées – a hot summer long ago…lovely hikes and my daughter in a tree.
For Sylvain Landry and SL- WEEK: The Stairs of the new library in Riga.
