Waiting for the Daylight – Transformation
The forest floors and the depth of morning light are comforting on these summer days in Canada, and create an all-new wonder as we pass by on the way during our walks. The depth, shadow, and colour are a reminder that there are others that walk along with us as
Time Transforms People
when I got my 10-years passport, I put on more make-up than usual and white clothes should reflect the light and make me look younger. As I get older, I took fewer and fewer photos of myself. The me in the album is in my 40s, 50s, 60s, I gradually

La Rambla
For me, Spain is and remains a very inspiring country. During our holidays we were introduced to “La Rambla”. They are originally dry revier beds. In case of heavy rain, they lead the rainwater from the mountains to the sea. But because it rains very little in Spain, you sometimes
