For Sylvain Landry – Alone. Summer is over and this sweet old lady is sitting alone by the sea. Maybe thinking it might be her last summer…will she come here again next year?

The Colours of China
I am very grateful that this was my fourth time in Beijing – the weather made the Great Wall almost invisible. The autumn colours – that’s what I had been waiting for, and they were there…somewhere in the fog and drizzle.
My last visit was an early morning some years ago, and the Great Wall emerged in all its splendour in the morning haze.
…this time
the most colourful things were all the umbrellas. It takes some imagination to see the colourful surroundings here, but on our way down, the fog decided to reveal some of its secrets.
A small glimpse of jewellery …
…before settling again.
This drizzle followed us and haunted us for many days – but I found other things than landscapes to shoot…and the one day on the Yangtse River with the most spectacular views…the sun came through. And not a wind.

WPC: Happy Place
A happy place where I can relax and get away from a busy life…WPC wants to know my secrets…and then they are secret no more. Near and far, some easily reached when needed, some only in my world of memories.

Sitting in my garden listening to bees humming in the flowers.
Walking in ”my” forest every day…
Far away…not easily reachable, but still…in my memory a place of utmost happiness.
Coromandel, NZ.

Travel theme: Intense
The combination of Fuchsia and Waxflower is very intense. For more of intense – visit Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack?
WPC: Boundaries
Boundaries – physical or others are essential to mankind and society. On visiting the open air museum in Riga, I found some old beauties – an elegant garden fence and a rustic pigsty fence. I love them both. Join in and let us see your choices!
CFFC: Sense of Smell
For Cee’s Sense of Smell, coffee would have been my first choice, then flowers and soft rain on leaves…but all of them nicely taken! So…another favourite of mine is this – biking home in late evening through fields full of delicious rolls.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Sense of Taste
Taste? Get hungry at Cee’s Fun Foto this week!
I love food – and most of all vegetables, fruits and berries…
…together with a nice cake is OK too.
But generally direct from the plant, picking them myself.
Travel theme: Move
For Ailsa’s Travel theme this week – move – here.
Right now it’s harvesting time and the farmers are on the move – and so are many migrating birds and birds of prey. (On the photo a great kite) So…
…animals are my first thought when I hear ”move”… horses, yes, and…
…a newcomer like this little puppy is full of life and joy!
Or this newcomer, making me absolutely nervous…trotting away in the middle of all traffic. Didn’t move away from the cars…just kept walking…straight on…determined…
