Amsterdam – A Different View
You know me – I love black and white photography. I found Amsterdam skies to be so amazing and King’s Day was so orange (you’ll see exactly how orange in my final Amsterdam post next week!!), that I was very selective about what I showed in black and white. When I was going through the…

Enveloped in Mother’s Love (WPC)
I was wondering through the markets at Wala in the South Pacific, taking in the sights and sounds of the tiny island when I spotted this beautiful mother and baby. It was a very quick single snap and I’m so glad it turned out. To me, it’s such a heartwarming scene. She looks so happy…

Amsterdam City in Living Colour
I hope you aren’t getting too sick of my Amsterdam posts 😉 Today is the city in glorious colour. As I have said, I was there for 50 hours. This was over three separate days and these photos span all three days. The first day was overcast, day 2 was glorious and day 3 was…

Momentarily Technical
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life. – Omar Khayyam, Persian mathematician, astronomer, poet and philosopher. And very clever man. For Justine’s Eclectic Corner #11: Momentarily. For Perelin Colours and Lucile’s Tech of the Month: Get out when the light is right. Sunsets happen every day. But they are always different.…

Amsterdam People (B&W)
I think I’ve already mentioned that I took a lot of photos during my 50 hours with the lovely Lucile in Amsterdam, so I wanted to share the photos gradually with you. Today, I’m sharing my black and white images of the people of Amsterdam. Some of these were taken during a walk through the…

Flowers of Amsterdam
Here’s my second post on my whirlwind trip to Amsterdam. You can see my first post here. Today, I want to show you the flowers. We found these in big planters outside the Eye Film Institute. Some of them seem like they’re made of tissue paper. Also, there’s a special little surprise in the mix… …

Separation Binds
The panels of glass in this very large window are separated by thick metal strips. The thick metal strips bind the glass panels together to form a very large window. This could be a post about construction. It could be about architecture. It could be about seeing the world as glass half full or…

Lucile’s Red Bridge
Yesterday, I posted Blogger Babes in London – a wonderful meet up between Justine from Eclectic Odds n Sods, Lucile from Bridging Lacunas and myself. It was such a wonderful day with truly remarkable people! When I left Justine’s, I travelled to Amsterdam and was met by the lovely Lucile and her husband and I…

Blogger Babes in London
I am so blessed to have met such lovely people here in the WordPress world. As many of you know, I recently went to Cambridge (UK) for a work trip. It was an intensive trip with long work days immediately followed by evening social events. It was a fantastic week actually. Work finished up…

Intricate Design
I was originally thinking that the best intricacies would be in nature and that might be true, but I was able to find some wonderful man-made intricacies while visiting a temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It’s a beautiful place, but the juxtaposition between the rich and the poor is quite confronting. To visit this temple,…

The Long Haul
Just a quick post to say that I’m still alive. I was travelling for the last two weeks – I went to Cambridge (UK) for work for a little over a week, then London on the weekend and Amsterdam for a couple of days. London and Amsterdam were short holidays and I had a…
