Ordering A Snowboard From The House

Corner View ::: Pondering

I'm hooked on Corner View. Not only visiting foreign lives and cultures all over the world but also contemplating over a topic that is outside my normal horizon of blogging.

This week the topic is ***pondering***.
Quite a difficult vocabulary for me. I know how to use the word while talking English. Thinking about it in my mother language is different.
pondering? Thinking? Something in the mind back and forth?
In my family there is even a family-internal word for it: "May beetles". No idea how it arose.

Anyway ....
Pondering on this topic my mind went into twists. Pondering - pond sent me to this lady: Femme sur un banc.

She sits in the beautiful sculpture garden of the Fondation Gianadda in Martigny, Switzerland.
Her bench is next to a peaceful pond.
Every time I have the chance I go and visit her. Sometimes I even make a detour to sit next to her.
She sits there very relaxed with her sun glasses on her hair. Or is she not as relaxed as it seems and she is pondering about an issue?
Probably I will never know.
If George Segal, the creator, knows?

In case you have the slightest chance to see this Fondation: Go for it!!!!
It's not only worth for seeing my friend, but the whole is something very special.

Corner View ::: Vacation photos

This week's topic "vacation photos" was choosen by Ian, the Englishman abroad .
This is MY topic.
Thinking about it I do make a difference between travel and vacation. I write a lot about my travels on this blog.
I had to prioritate for this post, so I choose vacation photos of the the relaxing bliss of the sea.

Coming just back from vacation on the beautiful island of Sardegna I'm still thinking beach, breathing sea and having the space of openess in my body, mind and heart.

All pictures are taken this fall in Sardegna (car and climbing rope), Sardegna in May 2005 (bicycle trip), Denmark, Andalusia. Some photos by Frank.

(I know I posted the leading photo before, but it is so my motto and it is so good for the start of this photo serie.)

Long, long walks by the sea.

Or playing on the rocks.

St. Lucia di Siniscola on Sardegna - my first 'paradise'. Dreamt of living on the beach for good. Many years ago. Revisited.

Breakfast almost on the beach.

Sleeping on the beach
(in 2005 on the bicycle trip 11 beaches in 11 nights. Loved it!)

Coffee stop roadside. Bicycling trip, Corse, Summer 2010.

Even crafting on the beach.
Btw: this is the place where I learnt driving. First on my fathers lap, later him sitting next to me. Many, many years ago.
This time I had to smile seeing kids driving carefully the car.
Denmark, North Jütland, Skiveren.

Reading. Yoga mat under the towel.

Fetching the breakfast rolls in Denmark on my bike.

Sunset. Sardegna fall 2010.

Walking up way to early in the little hours in May.
This view made me search for my camera hidden in the bicycle bags.
Not going to sleep again, but watching the sun rising through this ocean of colors.
Sardegna 2005.

Walking between the years. Andalucia,
around X-mas and New Year Eve some years ago.

I don't know how to link directly to the participants of Corner View (help is appreciated) but you can find some links on the right side of my blog from where you can start your vacation trip blog.

41*sunday - 794 km on the road

near 794 km between Lindau and near Hamburg.

The beginning and the end of my most trips: A long, long drive on the highway.

Last summer-greetings. Sun quietly in the heart from days at the Mediterrenean Sea.

Last summer greetings to a rest stop. Sun is still in the heart of the days on the Mediterranean.

Coffee needed more often than once.

coffee was more than once necessary.

This time lucky me: not having to drive, being able to surf magazines and having knitting time.

This time I could enjoy life as a passenger with a delicious profile in magazines and knitting.

The probably most well known traffic controller in North Germany - beware of the downhill in the mountains Kassler.

Probably the most famous cameras in North Germany: Caution in the Kassler mountains.

Eye candy at rest time.

eye candy with a further break.

These artificial lakes signal the beginning of the vacation - coming from the north.
Going back it's "ciao ciao vacanze"

This dredging lakes are on the way the long-awaited signal for the real start of school holidays.
On the way back they mean: bye holidays - ciao ciao Sardegna, so fittingly, was the name of our last climb.

As quite often in the last year the last day was spent in the welcome company of Ellen , Stefan and this time so Antje and Frank.
Greetings to them and to all who read here.

How many times lately, was the last day and evening in a very nice and friendly Society ". The 794 km I have become even more popular than before :-) Kind regards to
Ellen , Stefan , Antje and Frank.

Autumn and cordial greetings to all who read here!

What Is The Song Called In Los Hombres De Paco

New challenge

Sacha and I have a lot in common. We are both teenagers who love food and cold weather, have / had a Bora-Bora and arrived simultaneously in Jacj Cuisi. Maybe that's why we get along so well. Unlike me about Sacha has acculturate still some problems, and my job is to help her.
Sacha's only been a few months CIWY what she has seen everything before that nobody knows. Now she is an insecure cat that, unlike all other pumas here bites itself in the game much (my rubber boots have nice model of it). That is why we lead them to a double line, that is their necklace to go from two lines: one of us runs in front of her, the other behind her so that she can not jump on us. This method makes neither the volunteers nor the Puma, a lot of fun, but prevents further wounds have to be stitched.
When I started to work with Sacha gegrummelt it has permanent and often hissed at us because she felt threatened. We could touch them only through the Gitterstaebe her cage and even then we had to constantly and are afraid for our fingers. She reminded me of the big cats in zoos, which are constantly restless in their cages too small up and down.
can now I stroke them without fear or risk with the whole hand. She grumbles only if they impose their will and they can no longer hisses. I am hopeful that they igrendwann also can walk with a normal line without injuring anyone. The most fun, it makes it when we play with her, then her tail held high and she turns up her nose permanently with excitement (maybe I can even stick in a video). But just the presence of our volunteers makes them very happy and playful.
Working with her makes me much joy because I feel like I can really improve a little more careful and lead the life of Sacha, as long as possible and while I am there for you regularly.
