Seems like yesterday that I have started writing
Any More Then A Whisper...
Have grown and learned during this past year....
When I think how my blog started I think of fate...
Fate made me start a blog ...or something I called destiny.
Its funny how destiny works...
Last year I left for a holiday the one in many years, my destination was London.
I happened to love classical and contemporary art so my favourite, spot was the
British museum.
Like a respectable tourist I snapped shoots of the many sites in the city...
One shoot I will always remember will be the one of the above mentioned British museum...
This very shoot changed the course of my life...and I would not be here posting and sharing my thoughts today...
All started with a gift...
Then Destiny started its cycle...
A blue pencil....an old diary ....
drained my thoughts...my emotions...
Then... the blog 6 months later..
.
So my dear listeners of whispers here is my year in pictures...
You will not only listen...but discover my world...
...o...
After my trip I went back a few months later...
needed time to think of the already happened events....
...December...
And besides I was never away in the month of December
December for me meant Work!
Was my second trip in three months...
it was magical....
yet I missed something I left behind...
Hotei's Calendar for the year 2012
...January...
"Every extra day is a bonus"..
this is what my friend told me
I agreed, and started living with that philosophy
Promised we will watch as many sunsets as possible...
We still do to date...
... February...
Again needed to escape..
took a brake for a few days...
Cold days...the sun to warm my face....
stormy sea...
this was my winter...
...March...
"Every day is a bonus"
again heard these words...
will show you every bit of this corner of the world..
I promised I will
so I will keep my promise...
And more sunsets...
...April...
Days getting warmer..
walking in parks...
Hand in hand...
...May...
Weather is fine, lovely time for a trip
across the channel...
and a stroll by the sea...
Watch yet an other sunset...
...June...
Its my birthday,
and I drink if I want to...
and watch an other sunset in good company...
by the sea...
blowing candles..
way to many ...
please don't mind the mess...
it was dark...
and probably I was drunk...
...July...
Left the island for a while...
drank and ate like there was no tomorrow...
and I must add...
I loved the views...
...August...
It was time for me and my friends...
Drink some wine...
laugh and dine...
Time to get dizzy..
and may be dance..
in a mid summer dream...
Then look down to the city below...
...September...
Time to party in the city..
Time to explore the city...
Time to escape from the city...
...October...
By the sea I walked at night...
Explored every corner of this rock...
celebrate with a drink on roof top...
... November...
Found the time to be spooky...
a dark night...
chased away the dark, with orange light....
... December...
Its that time of the year again..
Were you eat and exaggerate!
perhaps a drink...
and a cake...
food...
and more...
and more...
and even more!...
and I say....
why not have more?...
Its Christmas...
and the end of this year...
so why not make the best?...
Cheers my dear friends a toast to you..
may the new year bring..
happiness
all
that your heart
wish
and more..
Many....Many...Many wishes to you
from your favourite whisperer..
Happy New Year!!!

Hey Cecille :)
DeleteThanks truly it was a big journey, full of surprise good and bad...
....but I try to look on the bright side of things.
To be honest it was hard to choose from the thousands of pictures I have, didn't want to reveal as much :P (its always good to keep a hint of mystery, if you know what I mean?)
