Thursday Thoughts – Memories From A Year Ago

I thought I would share some memories posted in January 2017 – My dream trip to Quito, the Amazon Basin and Galapagos. Let us start in Quito – a city of festivities that week!

An unforgettable journey with lovely people – and a country I would more than love to return to.

More Patterns – Cold and Warm

Silent forest floor patterns in the early morning light

And the forest itself

Frosty pool in my own forest an early morning. In the header, the top of my car!

 

 

Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past y4-01

 

Traces of the past – in Segovia, Spain. The most impressive aqueduct,  for Paula at Lost in Translation.

WPC: Weathered

This weathered Castle we found in a forlorn place in the Spanish countryside. We saw the pinnacles sticking up from the treetops and headed for it. A fairy tale castle!

 

 

Skies of Ireland

Looking back on the trip to Ireland last year, brought back a rush of green love through my veins.

How I love this countryside!

And the seaside!

Dark skies over the meadows – but no rain…

…only golden gorse glowing in the dark.

Clouds hanging low – but Blue Skies!

Many happy memories from the Light Move Festival in October –

 

– and walking down the Piotrkowska street in Lódź, the clouds soared right above me…just as close as they feel now in Skane, Sweden. But in Lódź they were brighter, whiter and let no rain fall on me…

Thursday Thoughts – The Importance of Balance

Magnificent Gran Canaria. Thinking of climate changes and how the tiniest changes in temperature will give massive domino effects. And already do. On everything living. There are examples all around you, if you just take the time to see them. Then imagine…

Just look at, for example, the importance of water – Some simple pictures from an ordinary vacation speak of what small changes in water supply can do to an arid island.

Just take away some water here…

…and this will be the result

Just add some water here…

…and this will be the result

Yes, they are simple examples – but things to consider if you find it difficult to see what is happening to our world. Nature is a Wonder of balance, and we must stop abusing her and disturbing the delicacy in which she is made. Which path do you want to follow – the ”fighting for a better world” or the simple ”adapting to whatever happens” one? Do we really have a choice? I think we have.
