Photo Thesaurus Page 5: Life

The theme "life" is a good one - so many things can illustrate "life".  I think of the new baby born today from the Crown Princess of Sweden, spring grass underneath the melting snow, and even the sun rising this morning as I drink my tea.  I thought about it, and it is activity that says "life" to me.  So, here's my interpretation of this theme!

Semla!

Semla is a big deal in Sweden today, so why not add a few photos I've taken over the past month?  One is homemade, the other in the bakery.  Personally, I think the homemade semla look much more appealing!

Fototriss / Phototriple: Repetition

This week's photo triple is "repetition."  I thought about this one for a while, and my mind wondered to the finger-moving past-time of my girlfriend: knitting.  If anything in my life could illustrate "repetition," it is the presence of knitting.

Night after night, knitting or crocheting takes place at my side; yarns being twisted into beautiful works of textile art.  To me, this seems a kind of funny way to "relax," but maybe the repetition lulls the mind into serenity.

And of course, the byproducts of this hobby are wonderful, as you can see in the three photos below!

Photo Thesaurus Page 4: Beauty

This week's photo thesaurus is "beauty".  I think beauty is everywhere you look - nature, man-made structures, people, relationships, etc.  So it is hard to put beauty into just one photo, but here goes:

Photo Thesaurus Page 3: Valuable

This week's photo thesaurus is "valuable".  I thought about it, and it is a difficult one!  I could put photos of my family, friends, past experiences/memories, or even castles, churches, or gold.  This is what I decided to use:

Photo Thesaurus Page 2: Power

I thought about this theme, "power" and realized that sometimes power (or the illusion of power) is forced upon people.  I was in Beijing this fall, and when I saw this photo I took next to Mao's mausoleum in Tienanmen Square, it said "POWER!" to me.

Fototriss / Phototriple: Love & Romance

This week's phototriple is "Love and Romance."  I realized that the movie The Bridges of Madison County is thought to be one of the most romantic films ever made, so I decided to use my photos from my visit to the bridges in Madison county!  I hope you like them!

Photo Thesaurus Page 1: Emotional

Emotional is a tough theme because so many things cause emotional responses for me: sunsets/sunrises, couples, parks, etc., etc.  But this photo in particular - there's something about that man who is walking alone.
