Bäcken porlar härligt när isen smälter. Här kunde man sitta i timmar och låta ljudet sippra genom hela kroppen.
A rippling brook is soothing to all humans. When the ice is open the sound is music to the soul.

Details are important. Even if you don’t see them – it is they who make up our world…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale
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.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: My favourite things verse three
For Cee this week – some of my favourite things…
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes, Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes, Silver white winters that melt into springs, These are a few of my favorite things.
# 217 Orörd – Untouched (67/365)
En sällsynt dag idag – en dag av sol. En promenad under lunchen gick till sjön. Orörd snö täcker fortfarande den tunna isen.
An unusual day today – a day of sun. A walk to the lake during my lunch break showed a still untouched cover of snow on the thin ice.
# 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.
# 88 Fäbod – Shack where you keep cattle/Mountain farm (64/365)
I Skåne kallar vi det här för fäbod, medan ordet har en lite annorlunda betydelse längre norrut i Sverige.
A play with words, but still this has to do with people keeping animals. In Skåne ”fäbod” doesn’t mean exactly the same thing as in northern Sweden. Up there it is more a mountain farm.
# 240 Regndroppar – Raindrops (63/365)
# 288 Stamställe – Favourite place/Place with trunks…(Play with words) (62/365)
Vi går ganska sällan ut och äter…så det här är mitt eget stamställe.
We seldom eat out on restaurants, so we have no real favourite place where we go often. This is my ”place with trunks”!
