Many happy memories from the Light Move Festival in October – 
– and walking down the Piotrkowska street in Lódź, the clouds soared right above me…just as close as they feel now in Skane, Sweden. But in Lódź they were brighter, whiter and let no rain fall on me…
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Toys for Children or Adults
Street market in Sofia, Bulgaria. My favourite toy.
Magnificent Gran Canaria. Thinking of climate changes and how the tiniest changes in temperature will give massive domino effects. And already do. On everything living. There are examples all around you, if you just take the time to see them. Then imagine…
Just look at, for example, the importance of water – Some simple pictures from an ordinary vacation speak of what small changes in water supply can do to an arid island.
Just take away some water here…
…and this will be the result
Just add some water here…
…and this will be the result
Yes, they are simple examples – but things to consider if you find it difficult to see what is happening to our world. Nature is a Wonder of balance, and we must stop abusing her and disturbing the delicacy in which she is made. Which path do you want to follow – the ”fighting for a better world” or the simple ”adapting to whatever happens” one? Do we really have a choice? I think we have.
Go to Paula, Lost in Translation, and pick a word or two from her five suggestions! I picked festive (midsummer dance many years ago), angular (a famous monastery, Varnhem) and auricomous (monkeys at Auckland Zoo).
The words are candescent, algid, angular, auricomous and festive
Varnhem
Auricomous – blonde
Where I live we got twice as much rain this autumn as usual. Everywhere the brooks, lakes and rivers are flooded. The farmers could not bring in their crops, and they have not been able to sow new ones. The farmland has been transformed into vast lakes. The ocean rises and takes down houses close to the water.
No sun. Only rain. And darkness. They say this is the way it will continue as climate changes increase. Nowadays spring arrives two – three weeks earlier than it did 50 years ago….so, migrating birds come too late to feed their young. I have seen it in my own garden. Our mountains will be covered in forests less than 100 years from now. For several years, the reindeer have had great trouble to reach their food through the icy snow. They starve through winter.
In Sweden, climate changes are here and now – there is no ”later”.
And still we are lucky here, up north. We will survive – many island peoples will not.
Growth – despite everything…
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: T – Needs to have two T’s anywhere in the word

For Cee this Tuesday – my full blogging name: Lagottocattleya!

Cattleya hybrid, ”Little Prince”
Fond memories from Gran Canaria include the colourful farmers’ market in the village Vega de San Mateo. Every Sunday the farmers come in to sell their crops, art and craft.
I still enjoy looking at the many colourful people, spices, fruits and vegetables, sitting here this grey winter in Skåne.
And the Band! They played gorgeous classical music, jazz and popular music – and they were many and Very Good. I wish we could have stayed longer.
So, we are asked by Paula at Lost in Translation, to post again – our best shot from 2017. My choice are the few shots of Elliot’s Storm Petrel that I managed to catch from our boat in the Galapagos Islands. Long waiting and hundreds of shots – made for these two dancers. One photo in the shadow of the boat and the other on the sunny side. No perfection…but I treasure them very much.
