One Word Photo Challenge:Persimmon in travels

By selimsraasta@gmail.com · On January 14, 2015


These last few weeks in England before moving to New Zealand has been a roller coaster of emotions. Nostalgia over leaving England after 10 years, excitement over moving to a new place, new continent, new adventures, feelings of impatience and restlessness over the long drawn out period of time until we actually leave.  Given that we were supposed to leave in July, the wait has been long!As I wrote about the delay here – Life Happens when you are making Travel Plans

During this waiting, it’s been fun highlighting photography and writing reflective posts of our years of travel in England and all around Europe. One of the themes I love participating is Colours where I depict our life and travels in one colour. The ones is Red, Green and Yellow on travels in Bangladesh and Morocco have been very popular!
