The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao Tzu

When in Verbania

When in Rome
Do as the Romans do
When in Verbania
Hoist the sails
Follow the trails
And shout out “Virata!”

Favourite Photo Friday, 2015 Photo Breakdown (2016-01-29) One

Those of you snapping pix, know this to be a tedious task, since to be honest, they are all favourites of the moments they were taken, why else would you have shot them in the first place, right? Trying to limit to just one or two photos is difficult for any post, but trying my best here from the several thousand photos shot and posted during 2015 😉

For this weeks Favourite Photo Friday posts, I have decided to walk through 2015 and choose a few of my most favourite ones during the coming weeks. Hope you enjoy the walk down memory lane 2015 in photographs!
For this last post in the 2015 photo break down, I have chosen a set of my favourite sky shots.

In the first post, the skies over Tuusula Lake in Finland.

Enjoy!

PART FOUR

Seaside and seagulls
Sailboats with long hulls
Blue waters and skies
Would have stayed longer,
But oh, how time flies!

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

PART THREE

A land filled with rocks and lava
Taking it easy with a cup of java
Especially since it’s as hot as a sauna
But still, this is almost complete nirvana

“We travel, some of us forever, to seek other places, other lives, other souls.” – Anais Nin

PART TWO

A road trip to a nearby village
If we were Vikings, we’d certainly pillage
A quaint little place
A while everyone stays
But later it’s time to set sail
And back to the resort trail
