Serenity – Weekly Photo Challenge

Forestwood

Water,

Waves at rest now on the sandy shore,

A mountain stream babbling ‘neath a cool glade,

Sun releasing a final, firey blast before sleep,

Raindrops forming crystals on a fluorescent leaf,

Comfort, quiet, a place where stress disappears

That is Serenity

Something to Ponder about

Published by Forestwood

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.

  5. Truly beautiful photographs and lovely opening words. The first one is the most strikingly awesome of the three, but I also love the second, with the wonderful reflections in the water. That speaks ‘Serenity’ to me.
    I’m impressed by your blog and see that you’re also a Nordic lover. I’m hoping to get to Birka, on an island near to Stockholm, in the near future. It features in one of my books and I’m desperate to see the place.

    1. Hi Millie,
      What a sweet and kind comment on my photography. I am a bit envious that you are going to Birka, that sounds fantastic, and even more so that your book features it. I can see already that you are someone that, like me, enjoys Scandinavian culture! Thanks for stopping by. I also found your blog fascinating! Looking forward to reading more great flash fiction! Lovely to meet you, Millie.

      1. Thank you so much, Amanda. I do love anything remotely Scandinavian. I’ve done a lot of research about ‘The Viking World’, but mostly about Denmark. My trilogy is about King Alfred and the Danes, although my other protagonist spends some years amongst the Danes. I spent a few weeks at Aahus doing research, and loved it! The ‘Viking Moot’ at the end of July is brilliant. Birka’s definitely next on my list. It featured in Book 1 and I relied on videos and general reading for that – but I still want to visit the site. I’m writing the third book at the moment.
        Your blog looks excellent and gives me something to aspire to, as well as the Nordic appeal it has for me. I’m a relative ‘newbie’ to blogging. And I really do love your photography. Lovely to meet you, too.
