Weekly Travel Theme: Shadows

Here two shots that I love for the new challenge of Ailsa in “Wheresmybackpack ?”

First made in Lapland, at the end of a wonderful hike with snowshoes : “The Long Shadows of the North”

The Second, made during our ride in Greece…

My wife got just the instant that I pointed to something and it seems a bit suggestion, indicating the path of the road, the way of life…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unique

This week, Daily Post asks to share a picture that says Unique to me.

Unique for me means the feeling of freedom that gives me ride with the bike…

Citing Robert Pirsig, “In a car you’re always in a compartment, and because you’re used to it you don’t realize that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You’re a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. 

On a cycle the frame is gone. You’re completely in contact with it all. You’re in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.”

It’s definetly true !

Then, when you’re riding load of luggage, people is more available to you …
Children look me from inside cars, greet me and when I answer them, dreaming already tomorrow to be a biker …
And it’s nice to get lost in my own thoughts, listening to the rain “knocks” on my helmet, washing  the soul…

Weekly Travel Theme: Walls

Weekly Photo Challenge: Love .

Well… I’ve already used this image for another challenge a few month ago (Travel Theme by Ailsa), but  I love this shot, this unknown couple that got my attention, I love this place, one of the most romantic place in Italy I think… Orta, Orta Lake, Piemonte.

Now it’s time for Daily Post Challenge and here we are… “Endless  love “
