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.
I have been nominated by Madhu of theurgetowander for My world in five colours for the Capture the Colour photo competition, the 2013 edition.
The rules say that I publish a post with five original shots from my travels, that best represent the colours blue, green, yellow, white and red, on or before 9 October. I then need to tag five other bloggers and link back to Travelsupermarket on Facebook or Twitter with @travelsupermkt and #CTC13 hashtags.
So here are my five snapshots from different countries in the world:
BLUE: Floating icebergs on Iceland.
RED: Pohutukawa (” Christmas tree”), New Zealand
YELLOW: Alley in Copenhagen, Denmark
WHITE: The Pothala Palace, Lhasa Tibet
GREEN: Highgate Cemetery, London, England
My nominees, with due apologies for the very short notice, are:
1. Seonaid of breathofgreenair
2. Nina of Vackrare
3. Viveka of myguiltypleasures
4. Meg of Meg Travels
5. Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack?
This challenge is open to everyone – you don’t need to be nominated to take part. The deadline for submitting your entry is 9 October.
If you don’t have a Facebook or Twitter account simply email your entry to capturethecolour[at]travelsupermarket.com, complete with your name, address and phone number.
Good luck to Madhu and to all my blogger friends that are taking part in this challenge!
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.
Through – open for many interpretations! Ailsa’s travel theme had me thinking about finding one natural through and one manmade through. Here are my choices:
Through a hole in a giant, a fallen tree in a valley in the Pyrenées.
View through the giant windows at Salvador Dalí’s museum in Figueras, Spain.

This challenge is a real challenge…not easy. My choice is Art by Gaudí for the theme. His life and nature theme is strong and holistic. Click here to meet more of Bare.
Layer by layer art strips life bare.
Robert Musil
I chose only man’s work this time. Nothing beats Nature, but these buildings and works of art are… multicoloured too.
Neal’s Yard, London
Art – Vanås, Sweden
Art – Gaudí, Barcelona
London
Why don’t you join in? I’d love to see all your multicolours!
What’s unusual? Well, angles of course, but much more, maybe. Here are some shots from the trip to Germany and Walsrode!

På vår ötripp till Hallands Väderö upptäckte en av eleverna denna lilla huggorm. Väl gömd i det skyddande gräset låg han och solade – säkert född detta år, för han var inte så stor.
A student found this viper, hidden in the grass, sunbathing, This is a very seldom seen snake, and the only poisonous one in Sweden. Being very rare it’s a protected species.
More hidden things can be seen here, at Ailsa’s place.
