IMELDA ALMQVIST ART: JOURNEYS TO OTHER WORLDS, INNER WORLDS AND AROUND THE WORLD IN PAINTINGS!

PHOTO GALLERY

I am a painter at heart, not a photographer. Having said that, I love taking photographs. My family is tired of me always walking around with a camera in the hope of capturing that one unique fleeting moment... This page is going to a gallery of my 'all time favourite photographs'. 

 I will organise these pictures under the following headings:  Animal Powers, Our World, Children, Genii Loci - The Spirits Of Place and Last But Not Least...
