Memories
Travel Theme: Fantastic
There are many fantastic writers and authors, and now one of them, Sir Terry Pratchett, has left us – at least for a while…
If you look up the word ”fantastic” in a dictionary, it says ”wild and strange; grotesque; absurd; marvellous; wonderful.” What am I to do about such a theme?
I will pick three shots – trying to picture the definitions. All of them from New Zealand, the land of wonders.
From Weta Cave, Welliwood, and all its fantastic gear – unfortunately I never noted down who this is…
And fantastic Milford Sound – even more beautiful than Norway.
For more of Fantastic – visit Ailsa’s here.
WPC: Wall
This week’s challenge takes us to a wall – my wall is a happy one, where you can exchange thoughts and quotes and general wisdom or recipes or…Just write your message behind a little door – open your heart and some doors, read and enjoy!

Cee’s Fun foto Challenge: Catching People Unaware
My trip to Gdansk brought many opportunities for this challenge of Cee’s..I have shown these shots before, I think, but my memories are sweet and warm from this sunny trip.
WPC: Orange
WPC: Reward
Last spring we drove up to the middle of Sweden to see the cranes dancing at Hornborgasjön. We managed to find the perfect day – absolutely clear and sunny. During the following night, we waited for two hours for the more than 19000 cranes to return from their night quarters to the shores of the lake. Seeing them flying in at 5 a.m was our fantastic and unforgettable reward.
# 107 Gubbe – Old man (91/365)
Under mitt röjningsarbete efter det att blommorna kommit på plats, upptäckte jag ikväll en kvarglömd gubbe från i julas. Här hänger han som nerdimpande ur skorstenslampan.
When cleaning up after my flower session, I found this old man tonight, still hanging here long after Christmas…as fallen out of the chimney lamp…
Travel Theme: Energy
Energi – Energy, almost the same word in both languages. And from the people of Tibet in the Himalayas, I send pictures for Ailsa’s theme, showing some of their most useful energy sources.
The sun, the water and the dung.
Warming water in a simple way, using the strong mountain sun.
This little water works is for digging the yellow clay to make incense.
A rather rich house, having a real stove outdoors.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: My Favourite Things Chorus
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…
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Let’s Go Fly a Kite
With tuppence for paper and strings, You can have your own set of wings, With your feet on the ground, You’re a bird in a flight, With your fist holding tight, To the string of your kite. Oh, oh, oh! Let’s go fly a kite, Up to the highest height! Let’s go fly a kite and send it soaring, Up through the atmosphere, Up where the air is clear, Oh, let’s go fly a kite!
I have posted him before, but this theme meant memories…
Almost exactly two years ago, I found this magnificent kite in the forest, lying on his back in poor condition. So – I took him to the expert to save him, if possible. At first he seemed not too badly hurt and for some days we had hopes for him to be able to fly again.
Unfortunately the veterinaries couldn’t save this beautiful bird – letting him go without him having full control of body and wings would starve him to death. So, my try to ”fly a kite” was in vain. At least I’m grateful for having given him a second chance.
I’m sure he is soaring somewhere up there now…
Thank you, Cee for being featured!
