Tankar

Plans…

Jag planerar att besöka min bloggvän Maria och hennes ständige följeslagare Yarri denna helg – spännande ska det bli! Vi har pratat mest via blogg och e-mail, men nu ska det bli av! Vi ska träffas i den verkliga Verkligheten. Förhoppningsvis blir det en del fotograferande också, och Maria har säkert en del överraskningar i bakfickan…

This weekend I’m planning to fly up to my blogging friend Maria and her companion Yarri in Jämtland – exciting! We have only talked in the virtual world, so now it’s time for the Real world. Hopefully there will be some photos too, and I bet she’s got some surprises up her sleeve…We are going to have Fun!

For today – let’s wipe away all gloominess of grey December here in Skåne with these!

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Silence

/ Leya / 15 kommentarer

Silence is a favourite sound of mine. And, Ese gives us the chance of showing what this essentially means to us. To me, it can be hiking an early morning alone in the mountains, and then enjoying the first rays of sun in silent awe of Mother Nature.

True silence is the rest of mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.

Waiting for the Light

/ Leya / 34 kommentarer

In the countries up north, as in Sweden where I live, this time of the year artificial light is very important to drive away the darkness. People say our mood up here is as gloomy and dark as this winter season… But on the 4th Sunday before Christmas Eve, we all put up stars and candlesticks in our windows. And they will be up at least until the middle of January. At our tables, one candle each Sunday is lit – in waiting for the birth of Christ.

I would like to share my windows with you – to light up this first Sunday of waiting.

Ailsa has given us a new brilliant task – to show Sky. The sky is the limit and the inspiration. Constantly changing and enigmatic.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Lights

/ Leya / 65 kommentarer

Light and lights are essential to almost all living beings. And, the play of light is fascinating. It cathes the eye and holds our imagination alive.

My choices for this challenge about Lights are all from Spain. The first one from an early morning outside the great palace, when the sun lets its rays play with the lamp post  making us believe it’s being lit up from inside… The second photo from a gallery, is also lit up naturally by the sun.

The third photo and the fourth are both from Gaudí – The lamp from the ceiling in his house, lit up from inside as well as from the natural light through the side windows and the figure of Christ bathing in light – also from above.

So I returned to this Island In the Sun after 15 years. Once visited when the children were small – now back for almost only one reason – Puerto Mogan. I hope you understand why.

/ Leya / 23 kommentarer

Cee’s task for us this week is all about numbers or letters. Well, the most fun ever I’ve had with numbers and letters was on New Zealand – and surely I made a post of it somewhere…but here are some of them again! Love, love love their humour down under! Letters instead of numbers…and the reverse…
