WPC: Early Bird

17 april, 201517 april, 2015 / Leya / 25 kommentarer

I’m afraid I’m not a natural early bird – but I have learned over the years. If I know I have to go to work or catch a flight or photograph something spectacular. I will be. An early bird. I have never regretted any early morning…

Travel Theme: Fantastic

14 mars, 201514 mars, 2015 / Leya / 20 kommentarer

There are many fantastic writers and authors, and now one of them, Sir Terry Pratchett, has left us – at least for a while…

If you look up the word ”fantastic” in a dictionary, it says ”wild and strange; grotesque; absurd; marvellous; wonderful.” What am I to do about such a theme?

I will pick three shots – trying to picture the definitions. All of them from New Zealand, the land of wonders.

From Weta Cave, Welliwood, and all its fantastic gear – unfortunately I never noted down who this is…

And fantastic Milford Sound – even more beautiful than Norway.

For more of Fantastic – visit Ailsa’s here.

WPC: Wall

This week’s challenge takes us to a wall – my wall is a happy one, where you can exchange thoughts and quotes and general wisdom or recipes or…Just write your message behind a little door – open your heart and some doors, read and enjoy!

Environment – Nature…was here first. Long before us. Here some photos from the exhibition I visited two weeks ago. Helene Schmitz, Dunkers, Helsingborg.

Bikes and Motorcycles – Maybe not exactly qualifying for this, but these were the most frequently used vehicles in Rome.

# 90 Färdas – Travel (90/365)

23 februari, 2015 / Leya / 9 kommentarer

Att färdas längs en grusväg, vid vatten, är en skön naturupplevelse…oftast. Denne stackars man kämpade vingligt fram i kall och häftig motvind.

Travelling along a gravel road, close by the water, usually makes you feel happy and light at heart…but this man had to struggle hard in the tough winds.

Travel Theme: Energy

Energi – Energy, almost the same word in both languages. And from the people of Tibet in the Himalayas, I send pictures for Ailsa’s theme, showing some of their most useful energy sources.

The sun, the water and the dung.

Warming water in a simple way, using the strong mountain sun.
