#111 Gömma – Hide (327/365)

We visited a lokal minority on the Yangtse River, and they showed us how a traditional wedding was held. Here the friends of the bride hide their faces and cry for the uncertain future for the bride as a wife. The bride herself looks happy…

Vi besökte ett av Kinas många minoritetsfolk, här längs Yangtsekiang. Vi fick se hur ett bröllop gick till – hur brudens väninnor gömmer sina ansikten och gråter för brudens osäkra framtid som gift. Bruden själv ser glad ut…

SL-Week 16: Alone

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?

#48 Distraktion – Distraction (314/365)

Visiting the Forbidden City in Beijing – how could there possibly exist this distraction?

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.

SL- WEEK 15: Communications

Communications…essential in a society. If you look closely you will find many means of communication in this picture. Which ones do you see?

This is Antonio in the reception at ”Garni Dolce Vita” hotel in Locarno, Switzerland/Italy.
