It works very well for me to take a moment in the morning and another moment in the evening before falling asleep.Continue reading “Gratefulness”

2 Winter hikes around Lucerne – “above the clouds”

Stockhütte – Klewenalp (2-2.5 hrs) I venture into a new area. I take a train and bus to a small village called Emmetten, I jump on a small cable car. On the ride uphill, we cross the “fog barrier” as we would call it. Amazing! From greytones into the light, the blue, the white andContinue reading “2 Winter hikes around Lucerne – “above the clouds””

Photo story: Beauty salons in Pakse

Hairdresser, beauty salon, barber shop…nine I counted along my street. And many more in town. They capture my attention. Doors are open all day long.

A smile of a friendly hairdresser when I askContinue reading “Photo story: Beauty salons in Pakse”

The story of the frog

After a few dry and very hot days, rain came in late this afternoon. It started with a few drops falling on the iron roofs – tok tok tok. Slowly but steadily, drops take on a faster rhythm until they hit so strongly on the iron that it swallowed all the other sounds. Waterfalls runningContinue reading “The story of the frog”

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
