Dear Frank, of My most breathtaking vista, I have no photographs. Machu Pichu was a childhood dream, and I went to Peru in the 1980’s to see it. No camera. When we finally reached the top of the mountain, the Urubamba river down below and the surrounding rainforest oozing thin dew drops along the mountain […]Read Post ›
For Cee – three different, man made examples and one natural this Tuesday. In the header, Moroccan architecture. Beijing, Bridges in the Forbidden City. Reykjavik, Hallgrímskirkja And Rome, nature’s own design
Krista’s challenge…where/what would I rather be/doing…is quite easily answered, but then again – maybe not. It is not easy to pick some special activities among so many interesting things I like to do. In the header is one of the last pictures of my Dream Garden, that used to belong to an old couple I […]Read Post ›
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 this week – something essential in our high – tech society – electricity. The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Yangtze River in China. The Three Gorges Dam is the world’s largest power station with a total electric generating capacity of 22.500MW. The dam project was started in 1993 […]Read Post ›
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.
