Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Weekly Photo Challenge: HAPPY
The surest way to reach happiness is to accept the things you can’t do anything about, and to change the things you can, and want to. I can’t do anything about harsh winters or scorching hot summer temperatures here, but I can choose to spend my summer holidays in a colder climate, and I can travel southward in winter.
The following series of photos can vouch for that.

You must choose your battles carefully – use ones energy where you can make a difference – the things you can’t change you should steer clear of – to use the energy in them is wasted… 😉

Hello CG 🙂 What time do you get up during the week? It must be tough with days getting so short and dark…. I love new galleries too 🙂 Today I finally learned how to embed music on my posts 🙂 It is so much better now 🙂

I normally get up around 6. The days are getting darker and shorter, but the darkness that is now has some charm to it (the darkness is still fresh and haven’t lasted for months). The light during autumn is very special and the colors of the foliage is perfect for photographing.

Me too, around 6 – to damn early in this dark.. this is a very poetic view on early autumn darkness :). Our weather got sour all of a sudden and the weekend is promising rain… not fun.
