I come from a world of winter and pine forests.
When snow falls, nature listens. ~Antoinette van Kleeff
And this year all the world has listened to the winter howl in our environment. Who says there’s no evidence of global climate change?

All that said I know the world will someday be green again!

This week’s travel theme from Ailsa is: HORIZONS
We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.
Boston Museum Of Art
A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.
A view Of Den Hague From the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft
The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.
York ME, The Salt Marshes
The wideness of the horizon has to be inside us, cannot be anywhere but inside us, otherwise what we speak about is geographic distances.

It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
So I decided to try a new photo post called Skywatch. There’s just something about looking up that fills me with hope. How about you?

Ailsa has given us the travel theme ILLUMINATED. Please check out Ailsa’s photos and those of her commentators this week at http://wheresmybackpack.com/2014/01/10/travel-theme-illuminated/
Here is what I came up with:
Old Orchard Beach ME “Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.”
― Anne Frank
Boston Art Museum
“We are like the moon. The moon shines anyway, but it does not produce its own light. It reflects the light illuminated onto its surface by the Sun and is never proud to say “I am the source of light”. God shines through us, hence He deserves the glory; not us.”
― Israelmore Ayivor
