SL-WEEK 27: Pride

5 januari, 20165 januari, 2016 / Leya / 15 kommentarer

I am immensely proud of my daughter, who after high school went to New Zealand as a volunteer worker – natural science. NZ is far away from home – in fact they are our antipodes – and she did not know anybody there. I never got the opportunity to go when I was young, so a bit envious I was…

She handled it perfectly well and worked with everything from clearing the djungle to setting up traps for rodents and vermin.

This photo reached me after some weeks – and the pride I felt was overwhelming. A working girl, with knife , machete and saw – doing good things for Mother Nature. My Daughter.

Now she is studying to become a dentist, and when finished, she is determined to go back to NZ to live and work there.

Doors and windows for Cee – here are two examples showing windows as doors and doors as windows. I hope that counts!

– The doors are windows in the Danish trains, and the header showing the same phenomenon in China. In a Chinese garden you will find many of these round doors, looking like and working as windows as well.

For Sylvain Landry this week – Narrow.

Some weeks ago, we went down the Yangtze River on a cruiser, and had to pass the Three Gorges Dam – the biggest dam project in the world. We went through the lock during the night, but I stayed up late to touch the wall and feel the claustrofobia…
