Straight between Sweden and Denmark! Lines are important, and sometimes they just have to be straight…these ones are for Cee’s challenge – why don’t you join in?

Weekly Travel theme: Unexpected

This picture was entered once before, but it still is one of my greatest surprises…totally unexpected. I was shooting the tree and the long cloud, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the plane turned up. Almost touching the snow, and without a sound to reveal it was coming. Quite suitable for Ailsa’a travel theme as well!

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Split-Second Story

Split-second stories, two of them, both chosen from trips done in May this year.

In the first picture we were travelling by bus, the students and teachers of the science program. On this narrow bridge we caught up with a young boy who took to biking as fast as he could to get to the other side. I understand his hurry…

Another trip was by car on a ferry to a small island. I think I captured the story in double frames?

Weekly Travel theme: Metal

Ailsa’s theme this week is about metal. New Zealand again – Metal things found in the sea, metal for a playground in Auckland, for the Zoo, and works of art for the harbour in Auckland. Mostly impressed I was by the most beautiful dustbins I have ever seen – and for the water in the street …have you ever seen such a marvellous detail?

 

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Ground, rocks, sand, dirt, paths, walks, trails

My many hikes and walks tell me that I have to find the best ones for Cee…now that she gives us the opportunity to share them!

The levada walks in Madeira are marvellous. The stillness in the air and the soft scents along your walk make you never want it to end.

  The hiking trails in the Pyrenées can be rather difficult, but their beauty is outstanding. And so are the ”Pancakes” of New Zealand.

In New Zealand you can also find these magnificent boulders on a sandy beach of the South Island.

Finally something of Ground. From the magnificent plateau in the Himalayas – on the road to Lhasa, Tibet.

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge: Celebrate

We’re all here at the same time and we should celebrate that.

Travel Theme: Round

Ailsa’s Travel Theme this week is Round. Outside my window it was hanging there, from a branch in the sky – the full moon.
