Color Power
Color is often an overlooked engine that provides spiritual power and positive energy. Take advantage of it!

Playing with Effects
I mentioned it before, I like trees, especially the old ones but also those that seem to have something to say, even though they can not speak. It’s all about character, it’s about charisma. Some stand alone, others are crowded with each other. I prefer to take pictures of lonely trees. The pictures of the […]

I Couldn’t Resist..
No, I couldn’t resist creating another post with almond blossoms. I see them everywhere, these beautiful flowering trees that mean spring is here. For some reason I don’t manage to photograph the whole flowering tree, it just gets messy, so I choose to only show the close-ups, the details. You can see for yourself the […]

That was Then…
I found some pictures in my archive from 2016 when we were on a ten-day vacation in Cyprus. These do not in any way represent Cyprus in particular, but I was happy to find at least a few of all images I took six years ago, in a country I didn’t know much about at […]

Green Joy
Below are some images from yesterday’s dog walk here in Cyprus. I’m so happy we found this large nature area, just minutes by car from where we’ll soon be settling, in Zelemenos Village. And it’s pure joy to see my dogs run free in the greenery where we are almost always alone, while my dear […]

Still Life – Strawberry
Idag blev det inte mycket mer än en Gubbe.Ljuvligt söt och god, unik, men snabbt borta och förbi.Imorgon blir det något helt annat, smakrikt men inte sött… Neither more nor less from Cyprus today.

Asphodel Flower
I’ve found another sign of the arrival of spring, the Asphodel flower is in full bloom here in Cyprus. They are not that colorful but still, a beauty in its own special way. They grow wild and I see them everywhere when I walk my dogs, not far from our house in Zelemenos. I read […]

Overgrown & Abandoned
Abandoned, old and worn vehicles that no longer fulfill their function while nature slowly but surely takes over. Somewhat scary! I don’t want to know the history of all these vehicles. They may be useful as photo objects for me to create another post. On second thought, I’m not so happy about this, but after […]

Greener, Greener Greenest
Below are some images taken a few days ago. Naturally, it’s much greener now after the summer drought, thanks to all the rain that has fallen. When we came to Cyprus last July, it was hot, very hot and dry. February is the coldest month here on the island but also the shortest. Lovely Greenery […]

Wild Flower
Today is definitely not my day but I still want to show some images of this year’s first wildflower that I took the other day. I’m physically healthy but I have no idea what’s up with the other. Quotes are a way of expressing myself where I choose what suits today’s mood. “Some humans would […]

My Lovely Basenji’s
My lovely dogs, they give me headache, they give me joy. They are so similar but at the same time very different. Felicia, one year and four months old still behaves like a puppy. She’s full of energy, she chews on my shoes and toilet paper is great fun to bite into crumbs. Fanny turns […]

More Pictures, Less Words
“We’re so quick to make things black and white and to put things in their box. But everything is this mixture – and that’s what this world is – is this blend of different things.” – Matisyahu “All the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.”– Leo Tolstoy

One Shouldn’t Complain
I’m freezing, it’s raining but there’s no reason for me to complain. There’s so much misery in our world, people without a roof over their heads nor food for the day. I feel good, maybe not always but who does? We all have a limited time, I’m grateful to be here, for a while on […]

Roses, lovely roses
Now that we are in the middle of January, things are slowly but surely starting to happen in nature. A result of all the rain that has fallen and I guess that within a few weeks it will be green and lush here on the island of Cyprus. But for now, I show some roses […]

Lankayan Island
Now that it’s cold and rainy here in Cyprus, I have selected some pictures to show from one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited, Lankayan Island. This jewel-like little island in the Sulu Sea is unpopulated and covered by thick tropical vegetation on its top ringed by an endless pure of white sandy […]

A Day by the Sea
It has been raining non-stop for two days now here in Tsada but the other day the sun was shining and I took the dogs to the sea. Chrysochou BayWe haven’t been here since we moved from Latchi in October. We were all alone as we walked along the long beach but we saw traces […]

Christmas came…

As Time Goes By..

Shades of Blue
Winter has come to Cyprus, the nights are cold and the first rains have started to fall. Heavy thunderstorms have passed and nature has finally got what it so desperately needs, water. Water, that slowly but surely transforms nature into spring, in its eternal cycle. Yesterday was rainy and windy, only 12°C and the sky […]

Autumn Mood
Tsada is a village located at an altitude of 605 meters with a climate that favors the cultivation of vines, carob trees, olive trees, walnuts, almonds and fruit trees. This is where we live now, closer to the house we bought in Zelemenos where we hopefully can move in by spring. Above is the view […]

Today’s Flowers
“Fall colors are funny. They’re so bright and intense and beautiful. It’s like nature is trying to fill you up with color, to saturate you so you can stockpile it before winter turns everything muted and dreary.“– Siobhan Vivian “Colors must fit together as pieces in a puzzle or cogs in a wheel.“ – Hans […]

Time to move on..
We have now been in Cyprus for three months and it’s time to leave the northwestern part of Paphos. Tomorrow we move to Tsada where we will stay until we can move into the house we bought located in Zelemenos Village close to Tala. It’s with mixed feelings that I leave this beautiful and peaceful […]

The Tree
This must be my most photographed tree! I just love the scenery, the sky, the sea, the dry honey-colored reeds, the bushes and the lonely tree. Of course, there is more than one tree and more to see than just trees. If I turn around, I see large fields, a house and the mountains in […]

By the Sea
Fanny and Felicia, mother and daughter. They love to play and run along the endless beach while I enjoy seeing them have fun together. “Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly.” – Van Morrison.

Lifeguard
This little one fought for his life in the pool the other day, without being able to get out of there… …while I myself was busy taking pictures of some leaves. I’m not that fond of hornets but of course, I saved it from the water. There are too many of them around right now […]

Met a Mantis
Today a saw this little creature sitting on the handrail to the pool. I was on my way out to walk the dogs and didn’t have my camera with me. When I came back after an hour, it was still there. It’s not every day you encounter a mantis. Neo Chorio, Cyprus 30 September 2021
