More presents

They were expected to get here today, but they made it yesterday already: my gifts to myself. Over the years I have taken a lot of photos and some of them are really nice. I tend to use them in a calendar, but once I had ordered that first photo (taken on the Hardanger Plains), I wanted more. I looked through my collection and found five more photos to get. 

Starting with the top right (and then going clock wise): The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen, Denmark, July 2011 (work trip with the Dutch scouts). A Hoodoo in the Albertan Badlands in Canada, September 2011 (with Kay). Kilmacduagh in Ireland, October 2005 (with my sister). Heddal Stave Church in Norway, April 2012 (on my own). And the Kelpies in Scotland, June 2014 (with Yamini). 

I have written locations and dates on the back as well. Just so I won't forget...

    That's a great collection Mara; this is the purpose of 'art' of any kind on our walls - to have meaning and depth and have a purpose for being hung. Long and happy years to you and your art!!! YAM xx

      I want even more now. I've gone through all my collections and found 21 photos. I am whittling them down now to about 8 I would think. Not quite sure where to hang them, but I can always rotate!!

    Nice collection of photos. There's something to be said for printing them.

    They are perfect. I love my wall of canvas. I put the location on them too with the date and I also sign them!

    Glad you have the wall space. After 50 years of marriage, I will have to give up some favs to have room for new stuff.

      At some point I will need to get some more walls (as opposed to giving up favourites).
