So, I will give this a try – hopefully I will learn more about this area – Black&White. You are very inspiring, Cee!

Ground is the topic, and that is something I treasure very much.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: My Favourite Things Chorus

17 februari, 201517 februari, 2015 / Leya / 15 kommentarer

When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don’t feel so bad.

My favourites – a sunny walk under the open blue sky, the snow just melted away – it’s early spring – and my best friends are running wild with joy. Then I don’t feel so bad…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale

6 februari, 20156 februari, 2015 / Leya / 49 kommentarer

New Zealand’s great glaciers, Franz Josef and Fox make their visitors feel exceptionally small. The Franz Josef (Ka Roimata o Hinehukatere in Māori) is a 12 km (7.5 mi) long glacier located on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Together with the Fox Glacier 20 km (12 mi) to the south, it is unique in descending from the Southern Alps to less than 300 metres (980 ft) above sea level, amidst the greenery and lushness of a temperate rainforest.

Walking up to the glaciers was very easily done, and we were greatly rewarded. I have walked glaciers in several countries in Europe – but these two are the most remarkable ones of all. Imagine the rainforest coming down almost to the floor of the glacier, and you could touch them both from the path!

The photos show the scale very clearly, but the feeling of walking there is impossible to convey…you have to be there yourself.

# 334 Utmärkt – Marked (65/365)

En god vandringsled är alltid utmärkt – oftast med målade cirklar eller streck på stolpar eller stenar. I Vedema står det här monumentala döda trädet och visar vägen.

When hiking the paths are always marked to show the direction. Often with paint on stones or posts. In Vedema this monumental dead tree is showing the way.

# 291 Stenhård – Hard as Stone (54/365)

I Vedema ligger enstaka klippblock utslängda mellan träden. De är både stora och vackra – och stenhårda mot den mjuka mossan.

In Vedema there are huge rocks and boulders thrown out among the trees. Surely left from the latest ice age, they stand hard as stone against the soft mossy ground.

Totti är expert på att må väl – att rulla sig i snö, frost eller mossa tillhör medlen för att uppnå detta.

Totti is an expert on feel good moments – a roll in snow, frost or moss is a means of reaching these.

# 84 Från ovan – From above (39/365)

Det är mycket sällan jag tar bilder rakt ovanifrån motivet. Och även om det kanske känns som en viss skillnad på ovanifrån och från ovan, så kan man ändå applicera båda på den här bilden.

Not very often do I take pictures straight from above…but these leaves and an eaten cone were lying neatly where we rested for a while. I liked the patterns.
