Little has changed in the mindset of the Chinese when it comes to family, however in regards to the same sex relations, as far back as 650B.C. there are records of sexual diversity in China with references stating that homosexuality may have been a common occurrence.

Trosa harbor in February

Annas Art - FärgaregårdsAnna

Welcome to Trosa harbor everyone:)

There’s not much human activity here this time of year, but it is beautiful with nature presence.

About 4 o’clock in the afternoon. In summer months there’s no such darkness almost in any time of the day.

This is the entry of Trosa from seaside.

In summertime this is the place for “Göta kanal-båtarna”, tour boats from Göta Kanal, when they visit Trosa.

Spring on its way in the grass, but winter in water where there’s still ice. This is part of the guest harbor.

Lots of boats on land still. And the water you see in the picture is actually a grass surface in summer.

Lots of boats inside the big grey buildings too, waiting for Spring to arrive.

This space is really crowded in summer. Can you imagine that?

Now you have walked from Trosa harbor at “Smörbyttan” to the inner Trosa harbor…

Attributes of a Poem

Sight – Your loveliness reflects the beauty within your soul

Touch – The touch of your hand on mine completes my oneness

Smell – Your loving fragrance ignites a fire in my senses

Hear – To hear your laughter lights up my darkened world

Taste – The sweet taste of your lips confirms our undying love

Paris

Paris is that lady, as beautiful as Aphrodite, as royal as Victoria, who always visits you in your dreams and you long to meet her all your life, but when you actually have her in front of you, you are in awe, and what you hear is just your racing heartbeat..

It is near to impossible to be able to visit every nook and corner of the city, for it has so much to offer. ‘Been living here since a year now, and I have only seen a quarter of the city’- a social activist.

Walking down the streets with a map and camera is the best way to experience the beauty of the city. Here, the sun sets late but the city is always awake. While strolling around the city one experiences a breeze of history, beauty and luxury at once!

The large number of museums, churches, palaces are…
