Sunrise, then sunset
glow worm trails, mist, water still
I dream I won’t wake.
This week, for the weekly photo challenge we were asked for an image that looks dreamy to you. A photo of a place you often visit in dreams. A snapshot of your dreamy boy- or girlfriend. A scene that looks a bit out-of-this world. Take us on a flight of fancy!
About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.
Where were these taken, Irene? I love that first one – very Middle Earth.

Taken in the mountains above Montreux in Switzerland. The Lake is the far end of Lac Leman otherwise known as Lake Geneva. Very middle earth.

Romantic, strong and beautiful photos Irene! The first and third look vastly different, but taken at the same spot, I think. Are they take in Switzerland or Australia? ❤

You are right Barbara. They were taken from my hotel room, same view at different times. Taken in Switzerland. XD

Beautiful photos, Irene and a lovely haiku. We’ve hiked the mountains around Lake Geneva and were taken away with the breathtaking scenery.
