Weekly Travel theme: Unexpected

This picture was entered once before, but it still is one of my greatest surprises…totally unexpected. I was shooting the tree and the long cloud, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the plane turned up. Almost touching the snow, and without a sound to reveal it was coming. Quite suitable for Ailsa’a travel theme as well!

 

Weekly Travel theme: Cities

 Cities are maybe not my favourites…but I do like to visit larger cities when I’m abroad – for many reasons. Something of what cities mean to me will hopefully show here:

Weekly Travel theme: Metal

Ailsa’s theme this week is about metal. New Zealand again – Metal things found in the sea, metal for a playground in Auckland, for the Zoo, and works of art for the harbour in Auckland. Mostly impressed I was by the most beautiful dustbins I have ever seen – and for the water in the street …have you ever seen such a marvellous detail?

 

Weekly Travel theme: Blossom

So many wonderful colours and blossoms meet me every day now. In the early morning the yellow stands out in the fields…

 

…and in the middle of the day, when visiting a dear old friend of mine, she proudly showed me her little tree covered in a shower of pink.

Arriving home I went out in my garden to love the last rays of sun nesting in the cherry blossom. What would life be without Spring?

Weekly Travel theme: Glow

Ailsa’s Travel theme invites us to glow this week. These three beautiful bridges of Budapest surely knew they would be glowing here one day! I loved the green bridge – even at night.

Funny how the results of playing with the camera, entertaining my students, might come of use one day. Here we are exploring Budapest by night.

Travel Theme: Round

Ailsa’s Travel Theme this week is Round. Outside my window it was hanging there, from a branch in the sky – the full moon.

Travel Theme: Misty

Travelling home by car every day – sometimes in misty evenings. Occationally misty enough to stop the car for a photo, here of the mist…and the moon. These three are all shots using my smart phone the same evening.
