Sunflower, still summer, September 2012

I enjoy the sunflowers growing in our garden. They are an everyday photo opportunity for me.

Preparing for a long time at sea

Ice in India is my ABC Wednesday

While traveling in India we spend seven weeks in the Khozikode (or Calicut) in Kerala. We love to stay and get in contact with the locals. Our friend Rajesh showed us around. One day we went to Beypure. To the cold place of this ice plant, to the hot harbor and to the lovely beach. A great day. A very special Indian day.
