Travel Theme: Outdoors

For Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? I have chosen my home outdoors – close to where I live. I spend most of my time walking there.

Travel Theme: Spring

Spring is on its way here…but only slowly, slowly showing. Frost every night now – keeping the flowers and buds at bay. There are a few sunbathing butterflies and some shy anemonies though, for the most part hanging their heads in the cold wind. Signs otherwise? Seems to be all about twigs…birds, ants and humans alike!

Travel Theme: Fantastic

14 mars, 201514 mars, 2015 / Leya / 20 kommentarer

There are many fantastic writers and authors, and now one of them, Sir Terry Pratchett, has left us – at least for a while…

If you look up the word ”fantastic” in a dictionary, it says ”wild and strange; grotesque; absurd; marvellous; wonderful.” What am I to do about such a theme?

I will pick three shots – trying to picture the definitions. All of them from New Zealand, the land of wonders.

From Weta Cave, Welliwood, and all its fantastic gear – unfortunately I never noted down who this is…

And fantastic Milford Sound – even more beautiful than Norway.

For more of Fantastic – visit Ailsa’s here.

Two of the most graceful birds – at least in Sweden. The male swan and the crane.

Environment – Nature…was here first. Long before us. Here some photos from the exhibition I visited two weeks ago. Helene Schmitz, Dunkers, Helsingborg.

For more environment – go to Ailsa’s here.

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.

Warming water in a simple way, using the strong mountain sun.

This little water works is for digging the yellow clay to make incense.

A rather rich house, having a real stove outdoors.

Look closely, and see the transformation from water to ice – or the reverse.

Details are important. Even if you don’t see them – it is they who make up our world…

I know there are many of us who love doors, so I will not tire you with too many…only three. One from Tibet, one from Gdansk, Poland and one from my home town in Sweden. If you didn’t know my favourite colours before – you will now!
