images from Prague....






From the river and filming on the bridge

a shop window,



a saxophonist,
and folks
stopping
to watch and listen to him,
and a cool shady place to walk
and explore the dark interiors...











some art nouveau.....














a little gallery I found and liked


an evening patrol of penguins,
and some artwork, interesting, colourful, imaginative, whimsical and all done in coloured pencils, and I remembered that I used to work in this medium, maybe I should get mine out and give them a go again.

the trip continued......



In Ostrava.
my favourite coffee shop,
&
where next?

back to Prague ...?

A trip to the Czech Republic



On Charles Bridge in Prague in May,
and with Lenka and Zaneta in Ostrava.

Almost the end of May

A weekend in Malaga;




reflections on a brass band,
trees....
various,
and
fl
owers

wild gladioli



On a sunlit morning here I picked a bunch of these wild gladioli and took them home and put them in a blue glass vase. In the market in Marrakech I used to buy bunches of these lovely cerise flowers. As I write these words I remember the colours and perfumes of the flowers there... will I ever get back to Marrakech I wonder...?

spring is sprung



On the first day of April 2011 we have a summer's day,

followed by "An Ancient Mariner" day,

then a gloomy Sunday where that is washed away by rain,

but the grass grows overnight and wild flowers spring up along the roadsides.....

Escape































Curious to think that this time last week I was in Venice...

It was an icy cold day, a cutting wind blowing in off the lagoon, but it was still magic. Was I really there? Only I know for sure, there is no evidence, except this shadow image... but that could be anyone.....


Travelling alone makes you see and experience things in different ways...





"Don't Look Now!"


"Death in Venice."


The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice , there is little we can do to change until we notice how our failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds. RDL
