Weekly Travel theme: Statues

Grave yards are some of my favourite places for taking walks. At Highgate Cemetary in London I can walk for hours in the calm and peaceful athmosphere. The statues are all very beautiful here.

This sleeping woman was found under the ivy last year, and totally intact, in one piece of marble. She had been sleeping under the ivy for decades.

This dog is another faithful friend, just like Bobby, sculptured to stay with his master or mistress beyond death.

Travel theme: Pink

Pink comes in many different hues. My three beautiful flowers – One sunlit pelargonia, a soft spring magnolia and a lovely student of mine at last year’s ball!

For more of Pink, go to Ailsa on Where’s My Backpack?

Travel theme: Gardens

Trädgårdar – jag bara måste, än en gång, ta foton från Ronneby Brunn. För några år sedan vald till Europas vackraste trädgård. Den består av många trädgårdar – här en liten vandring bland dem.

Gardens – how can I resist? Once again I will have to show Ronneby Brunn – once chosen as the most beautiful garden in Europe. It consists of many gardens – let’s have a walk together through some of them!

For more beautiful and special gardens – visit Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack!

Tasty…

Healthy…

Thirsty…

Travel theme: Ancient

Ailsa at Where’s my Backpack? asks us to present something Ancient this week. My choice is an animal, a survivor from ancient times.

Travel theme: Work

Work – what do I think of when I think of working? At Where’s My Backpack ? Ailsa wants us to show how we think. For me, I guess much of it is about hard work with your hands, but also work together with animals. We will never manage without their help, even if technology is taking over…other values are at stake here…

Travel theme: Romance

I searched my house for Romance – I didn’t have to travel far away…

And here it is…

…the road to my Heart

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Travel theme – Wood

Träd, trä och skog – vi människor kan inte överleva på Jorden utan dem. Vi har alltid tagit tillvara och använt vår skog och det material vi får av den på ett klokt sätt, men nu är det också hög tid att sluta massförstöra denna fantastiska levande organism vi alla är beroende av – växter, djur och människor.

Mitt bidrag den här gången är ett galleri, en livscykel från liten planta till fullvuxen skog, till…ja, kanske ska den ses baklänges. Förhoppningsvis kommer denna cirkel att fortsätta som den alltid har gjort. Det är vårt ansvar.

Wood – a living organism sharing our lives. We have always made use of it, and it has always been a great source of life, and of well being for mankind and our fellow travellers on this Planet Earth.

My contribution is a little gallery, a circle of life with wood. Start at the end…Let’s hope we will preserve this valuable source of life, our forests and woods – because without them, mankind will be wiped out – and with us, every living being on this planet.

Thank you, Ailsa, for another great theme!
