All Time Favs – Seeds

This week – and the Challenge last theme – is ‘all time favorites’.

This is the last of the Weekly Photo Challenges organised on WordPress. I enjoyed participating and will sure miss it. I will just post photos this week and not follow the theme.  If you want to browse what I posted over the years, follow the link to the tags down here. I am not sure I tagged them all, but you can definitely choose a favourite!

Place in the World – Music

The weekly theme is ‘place in the world’. Where do you belong?

Images of the place I live, my place(s) in the world. One is a bit hard to grasp: music. ‘Place in the world’ brought me immediately to In My Place by Coldplay. Can this song be about flowers?
Last month, exploring the flower fields with tulips near my village (place), I came across this setting.  Taking this photo, the power lines and the lonely house set the atmosphere; the flowers are almost gone, some are still there. Flowers come and go, and you have to wait another year for them, but singing flowers? Well, it checks boxes, but not all of them. Perhaps I cross lines I should not cross? Do enjoy the song and the photo.

In My Place – Coldplay
In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
I was lost

I was lost, I was lost
Crossed lines I shouldn’t have crossed
I was lost

Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?

I was scared, I was scared
Tired and under prepared
But I wait for it

If you go, if you go
Leave me down here on my own
Then I’ll wait for you (yeah)

Yeah how long must you wait for it?
Yeah how long must you pay for it?
Yeah how long must you wait for it?

Sing it, please, please, please
Come back and sing to me, to me, me
Come on and sing it out, now, now
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
Come back and sing it

In my place, in my place
Were lines that I couldn’t change
And I was lost
