# 90 Färdas – Travel (90/365)

Att färdas längs en grusväg, vid vatten, är en skön naturupplevelse…oftast. Denne stackars man kämpade vingligt fram i kall och häftig motvind.

Travelling along a gravel road, close by the water, usually makes you feel happy and light at heart…but this man had to struggle hard in the tough winds.

Klar med årets blomsterinsats – Finished!

# 59 Ensamstående – Single/Standing alone (a play on words) (86/365)

WPC: Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is something you learn to see if you haven’t got this ”seeing” from the start. I believe that the more photos you take – and study other photographers’ works – the easier you will find your own ”seeing” of what looks best. Then it doesn ‘t have to follow any rules at all…really.

My try for the WordPress challenge is tulips and a leaf from my ”Russian” begonia. Click here for more entries.

 

Travel Theme: Energy

Energi – Energy, almost the same word in both languages. And from the people of Tibet in the Himalayas, I send pictures for Ailsa’s theme, showing some of their most useful energy sources.

The sun, the water and the dung.

# 221 Piggar – Spikes (83/365)

Min största begonia kommer som stickling från Ryssland. Ingen vet något om ursprungsland, men enligt mitt Bonniers stora Bo med blommor borde den kunna vara en Begonia manicáta från Mexico.

My most spectacular begonia came as a cutting from Russia many years ago. Nobody knew its real origin. According to my big flower dictionary – Bonniers stora Bo med blommor (Live with flowers) the plant might be a Begonia manicáta from Mexico.

This is a leaf seen from under – filled with tiny spikes.
