Leaves for Ailsa. Trees and their leaves do represent life, and in China I always admire the ancient Ginko tree with its beautifully designed leaves. But on our last trip there, I found these traditionally painted leaves and could not resist buying one. They were framed in glass, otherwise not possible to take home. From […]Read Post ›
Travel theme: History To me, maybe China and the Great Wall stands out when I think of History. Not only is it very old, but there is so much history behind the building of the wall, so many lost lives and such a fascinating idea from the start. So, I keep returning to it…
From Ailsa this week – Exits. Photos from China 2009 – A starspangled exit at the airport, and another kind of exit …I hope you think it is rather sweet anyway…
For Sylvain Landry – Reflection. I love the way the world changes in reflections. In the header, a photo from somewhere in China, where many separate worlds are revealed …and the second photo is from my forest at home. My world.
According to Chinese tradition, the bride always wears red on her wedding day. So, for Sylvain Landry, this week’s wedding pictures come from China. Old tradition in the beautiful water city of Suzhou, and in the header, a modern couple walking the Bond overlooking the Pudong area in Shanghai.

Sylvain Landry – Women. International Women’s Day. In the header – The old and the new China. Young Chinese girl of today Rome – a connecting nun. My mother, here 79 years old. Still hiking, still curiously looking forward to things… A woman – not passé even if she is ageing.
Doors and windows for Cee – here are two examples showing windows as doors and doors as windows. I hope that counts! – The doors are windows in the Danish trains, and the header showing the same phenomenon in China. In a Chinese garden you will find many of these round doors, looking like and […]Read Post ›
I believe we all love fabric, and we all go looking for them in the market and in shopping centres and…love to surround ourselves with them at home. Thank you, Ailsa for always having lovely themes and keeping us going! Click here for more inspiration and join in yourself! Chinese carpets – pure silk. […]Read Post ›
For Sylvain Landry this week – Narrow. Some weeks ago, we went down the Yangtze River on a cruiser, and had to pass the Three Gorges Dam – the biggest dam project in the world. We went through the lock during the night, but I stayed up late to touch the wall and feel […]Read Post ›
