The view from my new apartment.
I’ve often paused on shopping visits to Waitrose to take in the magnificent view from the check out, but never conceived I’d live in a place where I could indulge myself in it constantly. I think my guardian angel was taking notes and passed them on lol!
(From a friend’s face book page – sorry don’t know the photographer)
Like a spot of Heaven! Built by Goudi’s teacher on behalf of the local choir. Still hosts musical events from around the world. Breathtaking! Note the nature theme of roses. It was far lighter than my limited photography skills can portray (there were no dark areas, it glows with light!)
Shimmering white closes behind us, ahead concealing mist.
Trees hide behind shimmering, soft veils of light, shadowed echoes.
Carols ring out through the silence, mulled wine enhancing vocal chords,
Silenced by Christmas luncheon.
Water skims slowly by ornamented by clusters of ducks, a swan here or there.
All upstaged by the jeweled visitor, surveying us from his perch, streaking of, dazzling in his vest of emerald and midnight blue – a kingfisher dressed for the season.
(Thoughts on a Christmas canal trip with my fellow sailing volunteers.)
