This is sweet enough for me, love, peace and harmony…

WPC – Weathered
This week is about the effect of time and the elements. Above you see Malta’s typical honey yellow limestone. The terrain of Malta is characterized by limestone plateaus that change constantly in shape due to climate and time. The limestone is still common as building materials and the effect of that is clearly visible below.
A weathered old forgotten store surrounded by walls made of limestone.
Influenced by time, sun, wind, rain and salty water from the Mediterranean Sea.
A weathered old sign-board.

Growth gives more fruit and vegetables.
We use leftovers as decorations. There was a wedding that took place here high above the clouds.
WPC – Growth
Growth in nature provides nutrition to fruits and vegetables. We use leftovers as decorations.
There was a wedding that took place here high above the clouds. 
No greenery without growth. 
Growth among clouds and mountains high above Kota Kinabalu town.
Growth puts people at work who provide food for themselves and the people.

Sabah, also known as “Land of the Wind”, which comes from the author of Agnes Keith’s first book in 1939. A kind of growth, in the history…
WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge – 2017 Favorites
To celebrate the end of the year, this week we share the most meaningful photo we’ve taken in 2017.
Wild Proboscis are only found in Borneo and Indonesia. With a threatening extinction it´s amazing to get the chance to meet this unique species in their natural environment. Moments I`ll never forget.
A favorite picture I took in Permai Rainforest in Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia in April 2017.
Last but not least. After four years of waiting, I finally got my beloved four-legged little puppy home to Malta. A long-awaited new family member, an amazing dog that will bring a lot of joy for many years to come.

WPC – Cheeky
In this week WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge Michelle ask us to show something cheeky. 
Can a clown or a prankster be cheeky? 
Of course…
…we can all act cheeky, in an entertaining way and with a joyful attitude.
The island is so small that they had to build a building on water where the restaurant are located.
Situated within the Sea Turtle Corridor, Lankayan Island is also a nesting place and foraging ground for sea turtles.
Forget about the internet, forget about the outside world, enjoy the moment.
Here you will find lots of turtles. Both in the water and on land where they lay their eggs.
Feel free like a bird, let your thoughts fly high!
My Serene Paradise
An island, covered by thick tropical vegetation on its topside and ringed by an endless pure white sandy beach and crystal clear water. This jewel-like tiny island in the Sulu Sea is a real beauty and a place for serenity.

WPC – Serene
In this week Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge, we share a visual moment of blissful quiet.
Capture the moment / Malaysia, Borneo.
WPC – Transformation
This week, we share images that embodies transformation.
There are so much. Like a bud above that turns into a beautiful flower! 
Or the slow and natural transformation of something once shiny.
Nature, an old church and all details look completely different when reflected and in water.
Click on the link below and you’ll find lots of transformations from other participants.

Nature lovers, on hiking in Malta in November.
Natural look. 
Neat and so lovely, but nearly too close.

CBW: Weather
I love color, need color and can`t live without color around me, but I also like challenges.
That`s why I take part in Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge and this week the topic is Weather.
This was a beautiful day last spring here in Malta. As always this time of year, there were lots of yellow and reddish flowers among all greenery. In black and white, it looks very different.
Our terrace on the 6th floor a rainy day in October.
Sunset with storm clouds.
Sunshine, warmth and enjoyment by the Mediterranean Sea in July 32+.
WPC – Temporary
Ain’t everything temporary? Like the flames of a fire…
… or reflections in the Sea. 
Like moments of joy and fellowship.
Nothing lasts forever. It’s about catching the golden grains in our daily lives. To see, to feel and enjoy…

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Pets
Once again I take part in Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge and the theme for this week is “Pets”! It suits me well because I now have my own pet. My funny silly, lovely little Fanny, almost four months old.
There are lots of wild cats in Ġnien Indipendenza/Independence Garden here in Sliema. 
Mutual harmony between dog and human being.
This blog is not going to be a Dog-blog but now and then I’ll post pics of my little puppy.
She`s now a part of my everyday life.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Peek
Peekaboo.
Today, I let my pictures speak for themselves.

WPC – Glow
This week, we share something that glows. Sunsets always glow, but everyone is new.
Glow from the sun gives glitter on the sea that shines on the little boy, summer is over.
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge
Here`s my entry for this week Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge. Just for fun 🙂 
This week it’s about distance. 
At a distance, you would barely notice the little bird.
At a distance, you can focus on what you want.
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge
This is a great fun and for me a completely new challenge. To convert from color and use only black and white.
An indoor garage here in Kuching with the shadow of a man walking from the entrance.
This is a spiral staircase inside a very old mill completely made of stone in a small town in Malta. 
This image was taken inside a train in Singapore. This photo is not exactly the same as the one above. Just a small difference in light and contrast but I know that even a small difference can mean a lot and that’s
what I’ll try to learn in Cee’s weekly Black & White Photo Challenge.
Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale
For this week’s challenge, we’ll make use of sizing, placement, and scale in our photos.
Here you can choose in which scale you want to watch the view of Spinola Bay in Saint Julian’s, Malta. 
The aircraft flying over Manoel Island in Malta looks more like a black spot. While we stand on the ground, hundreds of people are sitting inside that black spot watching the view, seen in a completely different scale.
CFFC Letter H – Happy
This happy bridal couple were photographed by a professional photographer along the Sarawak river here in Kuching. Happily, I always carry my camera with me and couldn’t resist taking some pictures myself.
Happiness for me, among many other things, is to live on the small island of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea. Where it never gets too cold and you never see snow. 
Pure happiness at Valletta Carnival in Malta February 2016.
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge / Letter H – Topic for this week is Happy
WPC – Pedestrian 2
A pedestrian on the new bridge here in Kuching. It’s not open to the public yet, what we see as a silhouette is a worker. I don’t think the bridge will open before we leave and fly back home to Malta. Just over a week left.
Pedestrians in another part of the world. An early morning walk in the old town of Stockholm, Sweden. I always try to spend some time in this part of Stockholm when I visit my hometown. Soon I’ll be there.

WPC – Pedestrian
The Golden Anniversary Pedestrian Bridge Project at the Kuching Waterfront
is almost completed.
It lights up in different colors at night, is very curvy, which makes it much longer to walk from one end to the other and the pillars are shaped like a Hornbill. Kuching is located in Sarawak and is called “Land of the Hornbills”. I really do looking forward to be a pedestrian on that bridge when it´s completed.

WPC – Windows 2
Yesterday, when I went out for a walk with my camera, I thought about what really gives a city its character. How much can windows and architecture tell about a city. These are all from Kuching in Borneo, Malaysia. Sarawak has it all – diversity, nature and adventure, also called “The Land of Hornbills”.
This is my second entry in this week’s WordPress Photo Challenge. You’ll find my last post here.
Windows, windows…
Windows and reflections in Kuching, Sarawak.
Windows in Kuala Lumpur.
Windows and reflections in Kuching, Sarawak.
In my next post I will choose some more traditional windows.
Leaf and Greenery
In Borneo, where I am now, there are no specific seasons. There’s the “Landas” the rainy season but it always rains in the tropics, more or less. Compared to Sweden where the differences between the seasons are much more distinct, spring, summer, fall and winter. Also in Malta but not as clear as in northern part of Europe.
Tropical rainforest, layered of compact greenery.
Hiking in the forest where the ground are layered of withered leaf. The leaf only change color when they fall off. Not like in Sweden where they fall off after changing color. That can be a real beautiful magnificence! ……In Malta, where I live, there’s almost no forest left...
Layered and twisted texture, as the seasons, depending on where in the world you are.
This is my second contribution for this week’s Daily Post WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge.
Just for fun!
WPC – Layered
In this weeks WordPress Photo Challenge we will focus on the interplay of depth, density and texture. Immediately I got some pictures in my mind that I then found in my archive.
Depth, density and texture…
Water is layered by surface, density, space, transparency and texture. Water is also a homogeneous volume, but this is my interpretation of this week’s challenge, even though my thoughts are totally wrong in reality. This is not a race, it’s just for fun 😉

Weekly Photo Challenge – Waiting
Photographing insects with macro often means waiting for the perfect moment.
Click on a circle to enlarge if you like to see the whole image.
Most waves them away while I chase them with my camera, waiting…
Worth waiting for.
WPC Structure
Even an ordinary flower..
…has an exciting structure.
As well as shown in this close-up of a hibiscus.
Structure of a feather. This one is actually not larger than a little finger nail.
A completely different but still, a kind of structure. A construction, a creation.
My husband’s secret project. It’s not really done yet… 
Look at the wings on this little beetle! We easily shoo them away and forget to watch closely.
The last picture is from my archive while the others were taken today.
WPC Corner II from Malta
My second contribution to this week’s wordpress theme. It’s about Corners, Angles and Intersections… 
Corners and Angles.
Angles and Intersections in the sky. An airplane easily takes us from one place to another. Crisscross…

Corner
WPC Corner
I choose something simple for this week’s theme. Simplicity in corners, angles and crossings. Guess I’m going to post something more sophisticated during the week. This is a fun photo challenge, for Word Pressers. 😉
WPC Macro and Color, Soo Shiny!
Failure is success in progress! Ooh, Shiny 😅
Even a colorless can appear as shiny through a delightful detour. 
Colors among our flowers and a welcome little visitor gives delight and diversion.
A fly can distract in two different ways. Choose the positive one…

Ooh, Shiny!
WPC Distraction
In this week’s Photo Challenge I’ll try to find what´is distract me and makes me feel “Oh, shining!”?
This flower grew when I planted a bunch of chives that I bought at the supermarket. They have already started fading. But yet, oh, shine! I will certainly find more that distracts me during this week.
WPC – The four Classical elements
Fire, but rather a fiery sunset.
Water, reflections from boats.
Earth, with patterns created by a tiny crab.
Air, and a volatile little bubble.
Weekly Photo Challenge – Textures
In this weeks challenge we will focus on the tactile element of the objects we shoot, whether it’s one distinct quality, softness, smoothness, graininess or any other texture we find interesting or, a combination of several.
As usual, I couldn’t choose only one. All pics are taken in Italy, Sweden or Malta. It´s a mixture of walls in different shapes and textures. Walls made of bricks, stones or wood. Smooth, hard or painted in soft/strong colors. If you take your time and really look at all pictures, you will find one that is not a wall 😉 Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday / Joy…
Sweet little insects…
When I take my macro lens out to the terrace and look for small insects among our flowers after I’ve watered. Then I feel satisfied, as are our plants and the sweet little insects.

WPC Satisfaction
There are so much in this picture that makes me feel satisfied, besides holding the camera. Memories, the sense of freedom, the amazing landscape and the natural colors of the great ocean as well as the blue sky.
Road Trip California in 2014, a trip that gave me great satisfaction and lots of lovely memories.
“A journey of thousand miles must begin with a single step and every exit is an entrance to somewhere else…”
Rock formations
An unusual rock formation found in Bako National Park in Borneo, Malaysia.
Looks a bit like the profile of a face and I like the different colors of the stone.
These are from the same place, and I have shown them before. But still, so unusual and unique.
