Thursday Thoughts – A Story of …Love

In Vilnius I saw this young couple coming out of a church. They did not hold hands. The young lady was holding her dress instead. He was walking casually right behind her.

In one of the old city’s most famous spots, they were photographed.

They looked so young…yet I believe they had known each other for a while. No infatuation shining, no signs of being ”in love”. I watched them silently walking down the street – no sign of guests or friends. Still not holding hands. Half an hour later we saw them sitting on a bench in the square, munching some fast food and watching the air balloons sailing across the sky.

I wonder what they were thinking. I wonder about their lives and their future. I would have liked to listen to their story.

WPC: Tiny

Cheri at WordPress urges us to walk into tiny worlds this week. Personally I love tiny worlds – I believe many of us do! In the header a tiny beech leaf, fallen and resting on the forest floor among blueberry twigs to be. And, below are the tiniest ants I have ever met.

Inside Your Head

”I wish I could look inside your head.” Have you ever had such a wish…or are you mostly happy not to know what is hiding inside people’s heads?

To be able to look inside everyone’s head is of course not what I want, but sometimes, I do wonder – how certain people really think, or work.

The two candidates for the precidency, now…soon we will know who is the winner and who is the loser. Never has the world seen a more strange campaign…At least  over here, we all worry about what will happen next. And, not only concerning the two candidates.

For Ailsa – Dark. As a child I was afraid of the dark. I read many books and had a vivid imagination. Today I can still be afraid sometimes…

The darkest country I have ever visited was Tibet. But high above Lhasa there is a soaring,  shining light – the Potala Palace.

WPC: Transmogrify

WPC this Friday – Transmogrify.

 

Transmogrify into something distorted and ugly or into a work of art? This house in Bilbao reflects and mirrors a bridge where a red car is passing.

The first two from Bilbao – Guggenheim museum. You see through the the first window glasses – but also see behind you mirrored. The second you only see through.

And a lovely little cat…
