July 2011 DP Theme - The Color Green

Sitting in your garden is a feat to be worked at with unflagging determination and single-mindedness - for what gardener worth his salt sits down. I am deeply committed to sitting in the garden.

December 2010 Theme Day - Time

I interpret DP theme this month as the time which I spent with my friend Ana in the hospital. She got stroke last week and has to undergo therapy for her left leg which paralyzed. The fact that she's still very young makes me realize how precious time is. So we have to make the best of it since we don't know when it will be taken from us.

Stay warm and stay healthy everyone.

November 2010 DP Theme - Public Transportation

This is a railway station located in downtown Stavanger and the terminus of Sørlandsbanen. It was opened in 1872 as part of Jærbanen from Stavanger to Egersund. In 1944 it became part of Sørlandsbanen when it was concluded between Egersund and Kristiansand. The station is not big, but was equipped with a platform with a roof.

September 2010 DP Theme Day - Open Air Market

Here we go again with the theme day. This month the theme is open air market. This one is in the city center in front of the marina. Too bad, when I took this picture the weather was not so nice. Cloudy and a bit rain. Maybe that's why not many people stopped by, I didn't even see the owner of those stuff.

April 2010 DP Theme - Red

These berries have survived the winter and are still bright red.

RED

My eyes are Red, my cheeks are Red
From top to the bottom I am Red
My nerves are Red, my passions are Red
There is something that makes me Red

Red is the night, Red is the light
Wherever I see Red is the sight
Extreme is the height, Red is the kite
Hatred of my Red has turned into favorite

I feel you Red, I touch you Red
I hug you and kiss you oh my Red
Your every shade do make me glad
I love you so much my soul is Red.

March 2010 DP Theme - Passageway

Secret Passageways

Some doors you cannot open hide a mystery inside,

And words you never knew can tell you why.

A force we cannot measure more insistent than the tide

Ensures we never find the way to fly.

But close your eyes and see things that are hidden by the day

And you will find the entrance to a secret passageways.

A wall too high for climbing that’s without a single gate,

Surrounds the places where we want to be.

You know the wall will crumble if you spare the time to wait

But there’s a better way to liberty.

Just close your eyes and dream and you can claim your prize today,

if you stop looking backwards and walk down that passageway.

The answers to the questions aren’t inside an ancient book,

The answers to the questions are in you.

If you cut out the excuses, and you lift the lid to look,

I know you’ll understand what you must do.

So close your eyes, be happy, do the work another day;

There’s lots of fun and laughter further down the passageway.
