favourite places

Posted on 1 December 2009 by lady dandelion

The botanical garden. This is one of the places that I always return to. A place for thought and just being. This was taken one week ago – before the snow…The shadows are extremely long – and it is just after noon.

This is another place I always return to. Crowded in the summer. Quiet and very peaceful in the autumn and winter. An old mill and a small village with various craftsmen/women. The photo is taken a few days after the first – rather hard to believe…
