Ineffable Wanderlust – Komorebi
This was a tough one this month. To be honest: I hadn’t had any camera with me when I saw komorebi: Sunlight filtering through trees. That’s bad. July was a month with a lot of clouded skies, and a lot of rain pouring out of the sky. That’s the weather in The Netherlands. No long warm summer nights with a lot of sunshine. I love to photograph sunlight filtering through the trees or flowers or something else. So I pulled some photo’s I took in the past. This is the Cherry Blossom Park. 400 trees planted as a gift from the Japanese Women’s Club in Amstelveen. This was at sunrise…

Ineffable Wanderlust – Faodail
Ineffable Wanderlust: Faodail: A lucky find. Faodail Do you remember when you set a step outside your comfort zone? Do you recall the feeling you have when your plane landed on an airport you never have been before? The destination you never travelled to before? I do. This time we went to Porto in Portugal. Although I have visited the Algarve and Lisboa Costa several times before, Porto was my 1st time. And well this was one of my lucky finds this time. Every year my husband asks me the question: “Where do we want to go for our summer holiday?” And as soon as this question is asked I…

Ineffable Wanderlust – Hiraeth
A homesickness for a home you can’t return to, or that never was: hiraeth. As a child I was homesick a lot, really a lot. I didn’t want to stay over at a friend. I just wanted to sleep in my own bed in my parents house. If I was spending a night at a friends home I sometimes cried at night. I just wanted to go home. Home sweet home. Nowadays it’s different. I love to travel. And every hotelroom is my home for the time being. But for me home is where my husband Marcel is. I could live everywhere. It’s just a house. It’s the one man I…

Ineffable Wanderlust – Mellifluous
Mellifluous, this blog circle definitely teaches me new words I’ve never knew they exist. Mellifluous: A sound that is sweet and smooth, and pleasing to hear. Which sounds do I love? I asked my husband this question and he answered directly: “The sound of the sea”. And my heart told me: “Yes, I love this sound!” I have an alarm clock with an iPod docking station beside my bed. Every night before I go to sleep I play my track with an one hour Ocean Surf from Dan Gibson’s Solitudes collection. It calms me and my breath is adjusting to the waves I hear. In my imagination it feels like…

Ineffable Wanderlust – Uitwaaien – Haarrijnse Plas Utrecht
A Dutch word it is. Uitwaaien: to take a break, to clear one’s head. Literally: to walk in the wind. For me it is to take a break. To clear my head this month. I had a very busy month while taking care for my parents, my full time job and my own personal life. I came home last Sunday. It was a warm day. The sun was shining and I longed for a beautiful sunset. To clear my head. To let thing go and just enjoy the moment of being. The moment of watching the beauty around me. Breath in and out and just live in the moment. It…
