... and this is spring 1000 km north of here

These are all taken in south Sweden (Skåne) a few days ago during Easter weekend.


The country at the horizon is Denmark with the Helsingborg-Helsingör ferry to the left. Quite a haze that day, unfortunately.









This is also Denmark in the horizon, but taken from a viewpoint south of Helsingborg.







The island in the horizon - use binoculars :) - is the Swedish island Ven.






These are from the lovely beech forests that I so miss:






































A pretty farmhouse on Österlen.










And finally my beloved Öresund!

This is spring here

Walking home from work (scenic part of the route!) yesterday.

A hidden pearl

I was wrong! Amongst all the photos I took, I forgot about this pearl - Banteay Srei.

Thought to have been created by women due to the very fine artistic details on the buildings. Spent parts of Christmas Eve here, and had a delicious lunch at a roadside café.

This is why I can't let go of this journey; so much happened, so many visual and emotional memories. So I think this is the last of the photos from Cambodia and Thailand - but maybe I should learn never to say never... :)

The garden of Sukhothai



























It's almost 3 months now since I came home from Cambodia and Thailand, and you have during this time got to see a few out of the thousand photos I took. Today when it's been grey, cold and miserable is the perfect day to end with some photos from the beautiful garden of Sukhothai. And once I have recharged the batteries (mine and the camera's) I will be trying to catch spring through the lens. But only once the sun is back!

Then it is time to plan the holidays for the summer and winter. Maybe India? Or Vietnam? Most probably France. Maybe Greece? Definitely Chelsea Flower Show and maybe Kew Gardens in May. So be patient..! :)
