I would like to dedicate this post and its photos to you, all warm hearted friends out there – you stood by me, were with me and my father in your thoughts. Your waves of supporting, positive thinking touched the shores of my heart again and again. Thank you for being there. For being you.
Someone has listened…and suddenly I see the autumn colours again! He is coming back to us – my father.
It is strange the way life turns…being close to the end and then waking up. Being given some precious extra time…
He is walking our paths once again, through the dense woods, turning around the bend…
…and out in the open! Breathing in the crisp Autumnal air.
Thank you.

The worst walk in a spiral staircase – ever – was made here, in one of the towers of Sagrada Família. It was so narrow and impossible to see the end of it from above. It was a mere deep hole in which I was to step down. Elevator up. Staircase down. No banisters. I’m not afraid of heights, but I often dream of getting stuck in narrow tunnels or holes and getting nowhere. This was a nightmare, but I made it.
This deep crater is to be found in Iceland. We never walked down, as we realized it would take some time, and the view is much more scenic from above.
”We never have much snow down here in the south of Sweden.” This no longer seems to be a fact. We do – have much snow! In 2010 we were totally snowed in and it was impossible to even get the car out. This is the view from my back door. I couldn’t open it and I couldn’t see but a small part of our ”veranda”.

We are waiting and hoping for my father to recover
I just love statues, carvings and sculptures – who doesn’t? From Cee I was happy to find this fun challenge! Here is a small collection of my favourites. For more of this, click here.
Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? urges us to show something of Height. My entry is taken from the train ride to Tibet over the great plateau in the Himalayas. For more about Height – click here.
The Tang Gu La or Tanggu Pass is a wide mountain pass over 5000 metres elevation used by the Quinghai – Tibet Railway to cross the Tanggula Mountains. On August 24, 2005, rail track for the Qinghai–Tibet Railway was completed 28 kilometres to the WNW of the highway, reaching 5072 meters (16,640 feet)—the world’s highest, 255 m higher than Cóndor station, Peru.
We travelled Peru 1987 and Tibet 2009 – both fantastic adventures. I had the great luck of catching this sign, Tang Gu La, from the train window. We were never allowed to go outside for photos, and the train rarely stopped anywhere. The compartments all had extra oxygen. The feeling is not possible to describe or explain.
My mornings – when the weekend finally is here – are usually Good…especially when the sun is shining in there is a smile on my face. I walk slowly through the rooms, watering my flowers. Alone up and awake. Beautiful silence.

A couple of hours later, I hear my daughter’s bare feet in the stairs. Immediately two tails start drumming heavily…so, she says hello and picks up Mille or Totti and sits talking for a while – to both of them. They all agree on the fact that life’s worth living…

Then I smile, open the door and walk out into my garden, shoes on my feet now, to find some herbs and maybe some last flowers to put on the table. Not much is left …and frost has turned green into red and yellow. It’s a good morning.

Cee has a wonderful task for us…Candid shots, when people don’t know they are being photographed! My last shot is a double one…That car driver didn’t know I was standing by the road aiming for the rainbow – and I didn’t know I was to end up with him instead…
Certain scents bring back old memories like nothing else can do. Memories from childhood and younger days. Sometimes a scent brings tears to my eyes and other times a smile on my face…For this challenge I chose a quote from the world of animals. Maybe it seems like a joke to some of you, but I have grown up with animals and I just might agree with Mr Stewart. What do you think?
