WPC: Ambience

Ambience – Nature is the master of this…I return to late evening canoeing along the narrow water ways of the Amazon basin. The darkness of the forest and the light still filtering in through the canopy. Hitting the tiny inhabitants of the river bed. The sounds of the rainforest tell you …you are not alone.

WPC: Names

Skyr is a delicious Icelandic youghurt that has been a part of Icelandic cuisine for over a thousand years. It is traditionally served cold with milk and a topping of sugar. For a short while Skyr was available in our local food store (after my constant wishing for it…), but as it was rather expensive…I think they did not make enough profit from it…so, Iceland is the only option to get it…

But I love the taste of it and I love its Name!

 

WPC: Resilient

Resilient – well, the crocodile species outlived the dinosaurs, and their relative, the caiman ”Lucy”,  lived under our breakfast lodge in the rainforest. She might survive us all…

WPC: Magic

Jen at WordPress asks us to bring along some magic…Some of the most magical memories I have, are from the Moroccan desert – the Sahara night. This, is true magic to me.

WPC: Tiny

Cheri at WordPress urges us to walk into tiny worlds this week. Personally I love tiny worlds – I believe many of us do! In the header a tiny beech leaf, fallen and resting on the forest floor among blueberry twigs to be. And, below are the tiniest ants I have ever met.

WPC: Chaos

This week Ben Huberman wants us to embrace chaos…so let us embrace the creatively  positive side of it. Here is an installation at Louisiana, Denmark, by Yayoi Kusama – the ” Polka Dot Lady ”.

WPC: Shine

For WordPress this week – Shine.

These last few days I have been out hiking, because I wanted to enjoy the last rays of colour this autumn. Ahead of us – starting this week – is all greyness. Some trees have lost their leaves already, and among them, the beautiful maples.

Sometimes in the forest, there is a very special shine through the canopy, as if a soft magic wand was touching it. I felt that yesterday – I hope you can feel it too.

 

WPC: H2O

H2O – well, that is what is coming this autumn, and even more during winter.

Water, it is called. For WPC I have chosen three favourites, one of its thickest forms and two of its thinnest. In the header, the frozen, majestic waterfall Tännforsen in Jämtland, Sweden.

From Barcelona, a hidden castle in the water cascades and from New Zealand, hot springs’ vapour.

WPC: Nostalgia

Nostalgia

My Islands in the World – Azores. And this little Island, Corvo. Blue Hydrangeas in the blue ocean. My daughter as a young girl…Someday I hope we will return.
