Well last week I was at a distance from my computer and could not take part in the weekly travel theme. This week I have once again drawn close to the comforting click of the keyboard and so I can participate in this week’s theme from Ailsa which is: DISTANCE. If you would like to read more posts from a distance go to http://wheresmybackpack.com/2013/08/30/travel-theme-distance/

Here is  my photographic take  on the matter:

We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
Henry Ward Beecher

Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
Charles Lindbergh

I took these photos while visiting the Fruitlands Museum in Ayer MA with our artist’s group.

We talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.
Dwight L. Moody

This photograph was taken in the Oude Kerk in Delft, The Netherlands.
