A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

shimmer and shine – love the bubbles – great photos from amething to ponder about for whits week’s A WORD A WEEK CHALLENGE – GLITTER
Travel Spirit, you have some spectacular photos from the year just past. I have just discovered pinterest so hope to learn as much as you have there. Thanks for commenting, for otherwise I may not have found your blog! 50’s is fabulous!
You will not be sorry. I am planning to head to NZ at Easter, if I can swing it. south island is really pretty with snowfall. The first time I went was in August. Fresh snow on the southern mountain range.
Hi Amanda. Thanks for visiting my blog. I love the photos you have used for the glitter theme. Especially the reindeer in glass. That’s a stunning photo. I also love the Lake Tekapo photo because I can relate to how beautiful the lake is.
Hi Leanne, So nice of you to say so! But I think the credit for the reindeer should go to the artist that created it. Unfotunately, I don’t know his name. Yes Lake Tekapo is amazing, especially if there has been a recent snowfall. Really want to go back to NZ this year, I hope.
Yes it wasn’t planned. Just something I spotted afterwards. Heehe. We look like we have been shrunk!!!! I might post a pic of the whole reindeer if I still have it, as it has created a bit of interest.
Lovely shots (particularly, as has been mentioned, the reindeer), and having read your ‘about’ info I look forward to spending some more time on your site and reading more of your stuff. Thanks for sharing!
Well thank you once again Devon. I like the photo too, but it was just one of those unplanned things, I think…but them maybe not… it is over 2 years since I took it.

New Zealand is definitely a place everyone should visit. There is so much to see there. One could compare it even to Norway.
