SL-WEEK 28: Music
Sylvain Landry – Music.
Music, and concerts offer a great escape – at least for for a moment you can forget yourself… This is Camelot and its brilliant singer 2009, Roy Cahn.
Thursday Thoughts
I’m back home again…from another journey to another country; meeting its nature, architechture and people. I feel I grow with every meeting and every opportunity I get to learn something new. On thinking back, all my life has been dedicated to learning – and sometimes teaching…
Travelling offers a great way to understand other people and other cultures, that we all know. But, do you often reflect on the ”getting to know yourself” more? Do you prepare your journey thoroughly and do you write down what you see, who you meet and what you learn from them? Maybe you are like me: Always preparing everything, sometimes in detail, and then you do not always keep a diary when reality comes along? Does the new knowledge just stay there without you documenting it?
We are all travellers, and we all travel in our own way. I used to be a writer, now I have become more of a memory photographer. Maybe a futile search for the precious moments to stay…a bit longer.
The abilty to reflect and learn is a great gift.
In fact, it is essential.
Thursday Thoughts
Leaving for Iceland for some days – only near Reykjavik this time. We will be spending some bathing time with friends. I just realized it is 10 years since our last visit. Hopefully this will mean some good times.
Wish you all a great weekend!
Cee’s B&W Challenge: Buildings
Buildings for Cee this week. Buildings do get a bit more character in B&W. Sometimes much more. These from Latvia, the outdoor museum in Riga.

SL-WEEK 27: Pride
I am immensely proud of my daughter, who after high school went to New Zealand as a volunteer worker – natural science. NZ is far away from home – in fact they are our antipodes – and she did not know anybody there. I never got the opportunity to go when I was young, so a bit envious I was…
She handled it perfectly well and worked with everything from clearing the djungle to setting up traps for rodents and vermin.
This photo reached me after some weeks – and the pride I felt was overwhelming. A working girl, with knife , machete and saw – doing good things for Mother Nature. My Daughter.
Now she is studying to become a dentist, and when finished, she is determined to go back to NZ to live and work there.

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Faraway
Cee is asking us to present something faraway. Switzerland is rather representative for this in its landscapes. I chose one traditional photo of a glacier for the concept ”faraway” and the other one following Cee’s example with something up front, close, and then the rest faraway.
