Freedom…a magical word. To those who live in countries with dictators, to those who live under dictators at home, to those who are chained to their jobs, to those who…
The word freedom I think belongs to those words that never will be worn out. Partly because there are so many ways of enterpreting its inner meaning.
When I think of freedom, in my life, I would say it means freedom of thought and freedom to live some days without any ”musts”. Those days are so precious…and without doubt, they are often connected to being alone, hiking and travelling. Travelling in a mindblowing book or travelling over geographic land and sea.
I will try to picture my Freedom, and I’m grateful to Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack, for being allowed and able to. I looked through pictures I thought would give me that feeling, and my final choices were these:
Lastly, hard to admit it, but…

Thank you!
Fantastisk billeder, Ann- christine! I am a little green with envy for the photo of the butterfly. Perfect timing. I recently tried to do one similar, and failed miserably!! Is the second top photo taken in Scotland?
Yes, number two and three are from Scotland, Isle of Skye. The butterfly is from Madeira. I know you have them in NZ – so envious…
Beautiful interpretation! Freedom is something you feel, your photos express that.
I agree – it’s something you feel – and it might be different depending on many things…
Dina naturbilder är innerliga och förmedlar skönhet – och kanske längtan efter något oförstört, ursprungligt? Nummer två – var fotade du den?
Visst känner du mig ganska bra…Nummer två och tre är från Isle of Skye, Skottland.
Det är till sådana platser jag flyr, om jag har möjligheten. Makes my soul soar,
Lovely! The tree…standing strong in the fog. Being who or what you are without fear. That is also freedom.
True. Trees represent Life to me – in so many ways. Lovely comment, thank you!
Stunning images and a great interpretation of freedom. Nature is freedom. Our choice to be who we are and having a choice to do what we want to do is freedom. That first shot is stunning. Marvellous blue sky 🙂
You put it so well, Mabel. That’s what I would have wanted to say…but you understood!
All those photos are hauntingly beautiful.
…and promising Freedom! At least to me.
The images didn’t load w/my slow connection, but your words alone paint a lovely image of freedom. Beautiful post!
Feliz Navidid!

Feliz Navidad, to you and your town/village too, Liza! I hope you will not be disappointed when the pictures show up.
Today there is a pale sun…the first in December. Our November had a record low of sun…Some places here down soth had only 1-5 hours on the entire month. No wonder I’m feeling low – along with many other people in Sweden.
But Today – Sun!
Very interesting choices, Ann Christine. Not one of your photos has a human being in it. That tells me something. 🙂
You are so right…but I smuggled in a tiny dot along that stream in Scotland…In fact I didn’t see him until I came home and had the photos in my computer!
Bellissima serie di foto, complimenti!!
Ciao, Patrizia
