Travel Photo

Forestwood

How shall I choose the final photo in this challenge that Ju-Lyn from All Things Bright and Beautiful kindly nominated me to complete?

Shall I choose somewhere closer to home?

Or:

  • my favourite destination – some Nordic ‘hygge/koselig’ location
  • enigmatic Poland
  • wistful Estonia
  • mystical Japan
  • South-East Asia

This is what I decided. One of the most incredible places on earth.

A place you can literally stand between two continents.

And I did.

Once again if you would like to be nominated for this challenge, I would be happy to update this post with your blog url. This is the final post in this challenge.

Travel Photo 9

Forestwood

In nominating me for this challenge, Ju-Lyn has helped me realise how narrow my travel interests are. I have visited the same countries over five times. You can deduce from this that I am quite in love with them.

I have nominated Ushashita, who kindly volunteered to join the challenge to post ten days of travel photos, no explanation and nominate other bloggers with each post.

Many thanks, Ushashita for accepting.

Friendly Friday Challenge – Postcards from the Past

Forestwood

Using Canva as a template, I had some fun with Sandy’s prompt for Friendly Friday, this week.

I actually wanted to cartoonize the photograph of Nyhaven, Denmark, so it looks like a digital illustration, but as that involved a Canva pro subscription, I opted for something less, this time.

Using the postcard template is a fun way to re-live past travel memories.

In case you were wondering, yes my newly purchased cap with Danmark embroidered on it that I had purchased at a souvenir shop near the H.C. Anderson exhibit in Odense, did blow off and land in the canal. It was never seen again and yet, I still have one today.

On my return home to Australia, I managed to find a similar cap in a store and had the words Danmark embroidered on it, complete with Dannebrog. (Dannebrog is the Danish flag).

I will be back next week at Something to Ponder About with a new photo challenge prompt.
