The Three Muses: Kartat / Maps

Kolmen Muusan "Kartta"-haasteeseen osallistun tällä atc:lla, jossa pääskyset ovat lähteneet kohti pohjoista Suomea jossain eksoottisessa etelässä sijaitsevasta talvehtimispaikastaan. Kevät on taas lähtenyt käyntiin sellaisella vauhdilla, että tuntuu kuin joka päivä tapahtuisi jotain: uusi lintulaji on palannut, uusi kukka puhjennut kukkimaan, ruoho on vihreämpää ja raparperinalut muhkeampia. Kyllä tätä kevättä on odotettukin pitkän ja lumisen talven jälkeen! - Taustan kartta on Elegian digiarkista, pääskyt ja karttaruusu googletettuja.

This atc is my entry for the Three Muses' challenge "Maps". In my collage the swallows have started their journey back to Finland in the North from some exotic Southern region where they have spent the winter - they will be here some time in the end of May. The spring has started to come here with such a speed that it seems that every day there is something new to see: new birds have arrived, new flowers started to bloom, the grass is a bit greener and the rhubarb shoots a bit bigger. We have really been waiting for the spring after such a long and snowy winter! - The background map is from Elegia's digital sheet, the swallows and the compass rose are googled.

  5. Hienosti olet muutamalla elementillä saanut kerrottua pääskysten kevätmuuton. Heti ymmärsi, mistä on kyse, vaikkei tekstiä ollut lukenutkaan!

  9. And yet another beautiful use of a map. The addition of the swallows gives the perfect impression of travel. Made me think of the swallows returning to Capistrano! Good work!

  10. Wow! Eila, this most beautiful page has blown me away. All your work is superb and I love visiting your blog. Mostly your pictures are painted delicately in pastel colours. This one was a real surprise for me as it is so dramatic and richly coloured with textures to die for. The swallows add a stunning touch.
    Take a bow!! I am sending you a standing ovation.
