Travel theme: Dark

For Ailsa – Dark. As a child I was afraid of the dark. I read many books and had a vivid imagination. Today I can still be afraid sometimes…

The darkest country I have ever visited was Tibet. But high above Lhasa there is a soaring,  shining light – the Potala Palace.

Travel theme: Enlightened

Travel theme: Enlightened

Ailsa throws in a helping hand for us all who are both low and high these days. The world is so troubled and it is impossible not to get depressed by the news received every day. Let us all try to muster some hope, some enlightened thoughts and deeds – we need Peace, Love  and Compassion on Earth.

Travel theme: Sound

Travel theme: Sound

Some sounds for Ailsa, from Nature! In the header – winter ice cracking into spring.

Sparkling fire on Walpurgis Night.

Mmm, the sound of water can be calm and soft, but also roaring…

And maybe the most beautiful morning sound – a spring thrush, singing when you open your window.

Kan du vakna skönare?

Travel theme: Fierce

I am sorry, Ailsa, but I seldom photograph things fierce…these are both good humoured of course – but at least they might Look fierce!

Travel theme: Seasonal

Travel theme: Seasonal

I am convinced I could never live without the seasons. And I can never leave Sweden in Spring – cannot miss the first wood anemonies and the beech trees. So…my theme for this theme of Seasonal, is my home forest.

Autumn will soon be here – crisp air and colours, colours, colours

Snowy Silence

Winter dreams – when the snow comes . Euphoria!

 

Spring is the season I immerse myself in all the Green – My favourite season

Summer – how difficult it was to find a forest picture…I guess I walk in my forest just as much as every other season, but no photographing!

Travel theme: Transport

One of my favourite ways of transport – trains!

Relaxing, good views, good company. And eco-friendly! For more of Transport, click here.

 

 

Travel theme: History

Travel theme: History

To me, maybe China and the Great Wall stands out when I think of History. Not only is it very old, but there is so much history behind the building of the wall, so many lost lives and such a fascinating idea from the start.

So, I keep returning to it…
