The Colours of China

5 november, 20157 november, 2015 / Leya / 14 kommentarer

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

10 oktober, 201510 oktober, 2015 / Leya / 28 kommentarer

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.

For more secrets, click here.

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.

SL-WEEK 14: Memory

8 oktober, 20158 oktober, 2015 / Leya / 10 kommentarer

A Memory, for Sylvain Landry. One of the most heartbraking cemeteries I have visited ever – and I have visited many. This is the Jewish cemetery in Warsaw, where thousands and thousands of Jews are resting after the war massacres. Nobody left to care for the graves. Crumbling stones and solemn trees. A tragedy never to be forgotten.
