Travel Theme: Above

I love seeing things from above, and the first picture is from my neighbourhood, Hovdala. The little toy tractor in the autumn harvest.

Rome and the view of the bridge leading to Castel Angelo.

In an aeroplane the view is of course even more impressive. The Alps make me long for snow this winter.

But, my all time favourite for this theme is of course this photo: https://lagottocattleya.wordpress.com/2013/07/13/weekly-photo-challenge-the-golden-hour/

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: The Color Yellow

The Color Yellow for Cee – only one photo in my mind! This is in April this year, when I was driving home and suddenly the sun shot through the clouds, revealing the menacing storm clouds in the east. I stopped the car and used my phone.

 

A Goodbye to Summer

The last visit this year to our summer place…meant some thinking and some walking and some …just being. A long goodbye  in pictures – a last day of summer beauty – sunny and warm. You are welcome to accompany me on this farewell walk yesterday, from daybreak to a cavalcade of sunset!

 

 

 

 

 

Travel theme: Horizons

Ailsa’s Horizons is an enigmatic theme, and changing the horizon’s position is a great possibilty to create totally different photos – standing in almost the same position. My entry is from yesterday evening by the lake.

High horizon

Low horizon

No horizon

Sitting in a chair in my garden…late, in the silent summer wind…

The night is still warm and my friend Totti is resting at my feet. We are  both contemplating…

…I, the beauty of the roof tops under the dark blue sky. He, the crying cats in the street behind the hedge.

Time to say Good Night.

Weekly Travel theme: Unexpected

This picture was entered once before, but it still is one of my greatest surprises…totally unexpected. I was shooting the tree and the long cloud, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the plane turned up. Almost touching the snow, and without a sound to reveal it was coming. Quite suitable for Ailsa’a travel theme as well!

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Ground, rocks, sand, dirt, paths, walks, trails

My many hikes and walks tell me that I have to find the best ones for Cee…now that she gives us the opportunity to share them!

The levada walks in Madeira are marvellous. The stillness in the air and the soft scents along your walk make you never want it to end.

  The hiking trails in the Pyrenées can be rather difficult, but their beauty is outstanding. And so are the ”Pancakes” of New Zealand.

In New Zealand you can also find these magnificent boulders on a sandy beach of the South Island.

Finally something of Ground. From the magnificent plateau in the Himalayas – on the road to Lhasa, Tibet.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Large Subjects

This ”eye” in the clouds opened up somewhere over Europe on our flight to Spain. For more of Large Subjects – click here.

Travel theme: Sky

Ailsa has given us a new brilliant task – to show Sky. The sky is the limit and the inspiration. Constantly changing and enigmatic.
