Cooling Here in Scandinavia – and several other European countries – we have endured a more than two months’ long heat wave, with temperatures exceeding everything since measurements started in Sweden hundreds of years ago.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Week 1 Photo – geometry, bushes, window, brick, etc Switzerland has much to offer – a little village totally covered in decorations like these. I hope this covers some of the words – at least windows, bushes and geometry!
A wonder – everything in creation is. And, in December 2016, I was fortunate enough to enjoy this tiny Wonder (it is the smallest seabird in the world) with my own eyes, swirling around our sailing ship in the Galápagos’ waters.

Between the plots there is […]Read Post ›
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Diagonal Line(s) Diagonals everywhere – if you look closely!
From all over the world they gathered here on Fanö for a fortnight – just to enjoy… Relaxing over a beer and a barbecue, and …releasing their new kites for others to marvel at Or, gliding down the beach in good winds – In the afternoon, the sky seemed totally filled up – no more […]Read Post ›

Paula’s traces are many, and this time she takes us for a beautiful late walk in Padua. An Italian gem. I thought I would take you to some totally different traces – a hidden gem named Monastero de Ribas de Sil, in Spain. Sil is the river down in the ravine below. And these traces […]Read Post ›
