Spring Colours
Today I played a little with my new lens which a clever sales person sold me in Singapore – I was looking at a 10 dollar tripod – and walked out of the shop with a new lens! It´s a double lens with both macro and wide angel – and it will save me from taking my huge old macro lens around and from bying a new camera soon – and it´s already my new favorite toy! I just crave spring colours right now – and I look forward to going to Formland on Thursday for a spring colour & inspiration overload – will you be going too?
Amazing Angkor
I´m trying to extend our holidays a little so here´s another travel post – eventhough it´s difficult to describe the grandeur, harmony and beauty of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Angkor was the largest preindustrial city in the world and once held a population of 1 million people (when London´s population was only 40.000 people). And the temple Angkor Wat is the world’s largest single religious monument. We all fell pretty silent walking around the structures, studying the beauty and the craftmanship this place holds. We spent 2 days in a row driving around the huge area with our private Tuktuk drivers – which was a big hit with the kids – and after seeing this amazing place I´m afraid we will be pretty hard to impress in the future. I highly recommend a visit once in a lifetime – either by bike or Tuktuk.
Asian Impression
Here´s a few more photos from our trip – I just love all the colours and contrasts that Asia offers – Flowers at the hotel in Siam Reap, Buddha in Angkor Wat and New Years decorations in Chinatown, Singapore.
Hello again!
We came back form a wonderful and relaxing trip to Thailand & Cambodia this weekend. Today is my first day at work – and I plan to make it a short one. I hope you all had a great and relaxing holiday and will have a wonderful new year 2011. I would like to share a few more photos from Thailand and Cambodia on my blog in the days to come – so that you also can soak up some colours and sun – is that ok with you?
Senior & Junior Christmas Stylist
I´m working from home these days – so why not share a glimpse of our Christmas decorations this year. My junior stylist has spend hours decorating our Christmas tree from Filigrantræ – and proposes a very fresh & fun color scheme – while the senior stylist has played it down and safe this year – the perfect match!
Smells like December
It sure smells and looks like december all around me – I love this month, the lights, the smells, and the little secrets – but also the fact that when December starts to get really busy and hectic we are leaving it all behind for some sun and beachlife. We will celebrate Christsmas in Cambodia this year and New Years Eve in Thailand – but for now I just enjoy December in Denmark.
Decorate
It´s always fun to decorate for christmas with children in the house – and when there´s snow outside -like this year. I also love to use my daughters small toys for my photoshoots – and Squirrels are the new Owls if you ask me!
Edinburgh Snapshots
I promised to share some photos when back from Edinburgh – I didn´t take a lot though – it was too cold to take my hands out of the pockets – or maybe I was just to busy taking it all in. Loved the city and the surroundings and just walking around and around. There´s still so much to see and try – so I´ll be back again for sure – didn´t get enough of the place and not even enough High Tea, Pints and salt & vinegar chips this time!
Pretty Orchids
I´m back at work after a great trip – and a very relaxing week. But I´m feeling cold and tired today – and need some eyecandy like the orchids above, which I captured some years ago in the Botanical Garden in Singapore. I´ll go back there this Christmas and already look forward to our next travel and some sun!
Autumn decorations
Here´s a few simple ideas on how to decorate for fall – and you really can’t go wrong because all the colours match so well! So go for a walk – pick a few branches – and add some kind of animal and you are all set! The pictures are from this weekend which also included a visit from friends who cooked us a 5 meal course in the summerhouse – and the most amazing night sky including 2 falling stars. I´m so ready for a new week and for my wishes to come true…
