Infinite. I believe everyone has his or her thoughts about its meaning. This gallery contains some of my ideas. I think infinite is a beautiful word, and to me it sounds positive and promising. What do you think? Here are some more interpretations – why don’t you join the conversation?

My World In Five Colours – 2013
I have been nominated by Madhu of theurgetowander for My world in five colours for the Capture the Colour photo competition, the 2013 edition.
The rules say that I publish a post with five original shots from my travels, that best represent the colours blue, green, yellow, white and red, on or before 9 October. I then need to tag five other bloggers and link back to Travelsupermarket on Facebook or Twitter with @travelsupermkt and #CTC13 hashtags.
So here are my five snapshots from different countries in the world:
BLUE: Floating icebergs on Iceland.
RED: Pohutukawa (” Christmas tree”), New Zealand
YELLOW: Alley in Copenhagen, Denmark
WHITE: The Pothala Palace, Lhasa Tibet
GREEN: Highgate Cemetery, London, England
My nominees, with due apologies for the very short notice, are:
1. Seonaid of breathofgreenair
2. Nina of Vackrare
3. Viveka of myguiltypleasures
4. Meg of Meg Travels
5. Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack?
This challenge is open to everyone – you don’t need to be nominated to take part. The deadline for submitting your entry is 9 October.
If you don’t have a Facebook or Twitter account simply email your entry to capturethecolour[at]travelsupermarket.com, complete with your name, address and phone number.
Good luck to Madhu and to all my blogger friends that are taking part in this challenge!
Travel Theme: Height
Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? urges us to show something of Height. My entry is taken from the train ride to Tibet over the great plateau in the Himalayas. For more about Height – click here.
The Tang Gu La or Tanggu Pass is a wide mountain pass over 5000 metres elevation used by the Quinghai – Tibet Railway to cross the Tanggula Mountains. On August 24, 2005, rail track for the Qinghai–Tibet Railway was completed 28 kilometres to the WNW of the highway, reaching 5072 meters (16,640 feet)—the world’s highest, 255 m higher than Cóndor station, Peru.
We travelled Peru 1987 and Tibet 2009 – both fantastic adventures. I had the great luck of catching this sign, Tang Gu La, from the train window. We were never allowed to go outside for photos, and the train rarely stopped anywhere. The compartments all had extra oxygen. The feeling is not possible to describe or explain.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Good Morning!
My mornings – when the weekend finally is here – are usually Good…especially when the sun is shining in there is a smile on my face. I walk slowly through the rooms, watering my flowers. Alone up and awake. Beautiful silence.
Morgon
A couple of hours later, I hear my daughter’s bare feet in the stairs. Immediately two tails start drumming heavily…so, she says hello and picks up Mille or Totti and sits talking for a while – to both of them. They all agree on the fact that life’s worth living…
Morgon
Then I smile, open the door and walk out into my garden, shoes on my feet now, to find some herbs and maybe some last flowers to put on the table. Not much is left …and frost has turned green into red and yellow. It’s a good morning.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Candid Shots
Cee has a wonderful task for us…Candid shots, when people don’t know they are being photographed! My last shot is a double one…That car driver didn’t know I was standing by the road aiming for the rainbow – and I didn’t know I was to end up with him instead…

Double candid? He didn’t know about me and I certainly didn’t know about him/her showing up in that angle…
Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Scent
Certain scents bring back old memories like nothing else can do. Memories from childhood and younger days. Sometimes a scent brings tears to my eyes and other times a smile on my face…For this challenge I chose a quote from the world of animals. Maybe it seems like a joke to some of you, but I have grown up with animals and I just might agree with Mr Stewart. What do you think?

On a warm summer evening… one of the last days before autumn arrives…the old stone steps are entirely – His.
True delight…
When a dog is really comfortable, they give off a certain scent and you can smell it on their paws.
