Weekly Photo Challenge: Express Yourself

I don’t know if this is a proper example of how I express myself…but we had great fun – and that surely is a way of expressing oneself.

The three of us had been a whole day exploring British Museum, and on our way out, my son caught sight of this bench with sleeping people. Irresistable! So we sat down beside them and tried to look exactly as tired as the other ”benchers”. My daughter took the picture. Nobody noticed…they kept sleeping as we left.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Serenity

Serenity. Only the word – and it’s already beautiful…

Blue and crystal white in winter

Colours from a lonely bridge in autumn

WP Weekly Photo Challenge: Warmth

Warmth can be interpreted in several ways… My choices are from a hot beach reflected in a warm window and what the warmth of Totti’s body did to our frosty lawn.

 

WordPress Photo Challenge: Yellow

Yellow is a very strong and happy colour, life giving and stands for intellect.  In some countries in the West, it’s representing cowardice, but in Old China it was the Emperor’s colour, the most beautiful and prestigious colour of all.

According to Wikipedia, the word ”yellow” comes from the Old English geolu, geolwe (oblique case), meaning ”yellow, yellowish”, from the  Indo-European base, gʰel-, as the word yell; gʰel- means both bright and gleaming, and to cry out.

Wearing yellow though, is not easily done for everybody – but looks stunning on people with dark or tanned skin, and preferably, dark hair. Lucky you who can shine in this beautiful colour!

To me, yellow means sun, spring and autumn. And, of course, the yellow houses in Denmark! For more of Yellow, click here.

WP Challenge: Twinkle

No stars to be seen, no snow, no nothing…I live up north in the darkness, so the twinkling I must search for  – in my old vaults and chambers…This Christmas will be my number four, blogging, so here are some memorable twinklings from 2011-2013!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Converge

This courtyard is said to be the most beautiful one in Rome. Even the sky above seems to say so. The theme is Converge.

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Angular

Angular – two roofs and a ceiling for this challenge. From Sweden, Poland and Italy. All of them old, well preserved and very special.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Achievement

For this little guy, it was indeed an achievement to dare coming this close to the dogs. The dad seemed almost as happy as his son!
