Clouds hanging low – but Blue Skies!

Many happy memories from the Light Move Festival in October –

 

– and walking down the Piotrkowska street in Lódź, the clouds soared right above me…just as close as they feel now in Skane, Sweden. But in Lódź they were brighter, whiter and let no rain fall on me…

 

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: YOUR BEST PHOTO IN 2017

So, we are asked by Paula at Lost in Translation, to post again – our best shot from 2017. My choice are the few shots of Elliot’s Storm Petrel that I managed to catch from our boat in the Galapagos Islands. Long waiting and hundreds of shots – made for these two dancers. One photo in the shadow of the boat and the other on the sunny side. No perfection…but I treasure them very much.

Thursday Thoughts – Winter Solstice – Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Today we will meet our daughter at the airport (bringing light to this day of darkness!) and this Sunday our son will come home. Days of joy and happiness.

An astrologer revealed that this year’s Solstice is different from others in the past, because for the first time since 1664, the Sun will move into Capricorn, some hours after Saturn makes the same exact shift; this will cause the Sun and Saturn to actually line up, a phenomenon which could have very uncomfortable consequences.

Personally, I do not believe in these consequences, but I do know this is the darkest day in the northern hemisphere – and then the light will return! So, my deepest gratitude to all of you out there who read, comment, or even follow me – you always brighten my day!

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
