La solitude est une douce pensée,
Qui me murmure : - Tiens-toi bien loin des hommes ,
Être dans le nulle-part est mon sérum,
Je me ressource du néant entrelacé.
Michaël Overberg

Crosses in the ceeling.
Hellnahellir is the longest man made cave in Iceland. carved into rather soft sandstone.
It is believed that it is made by some celtic monks sometime before the norse settlement. Very little is known about a celtic settlement before the norse, but in our Sagas those munks are mentioned, ment to have been hermits, living in caves dug into the sandstone found in south of Iceland.
In the wall and ceeling one can see simple crosses and runes, but also younger carving of initioals and names
Saw this guy a couple miles West of Boyce Thompson Arboretum on Uno Trail. This is a heavy crop because I couldn't get very close to him. I don't believe I have ever seen one of these in the desert. A first for me.
Conrail 8127 leads a Westbound into Sayre, PA on February 12, 1978. This was taken from the famous Sayre footbridge. There is not much left here today, but at least the station still stands, as well as an LV caboose on display.
(View Stamens Large) A change of pace from Aloes (I'll be back to them as we go along), I found this oddball flower sort of without form or detail, waxy petals, bright blue stamen, and kinda growing sideways. It's a Freesia refracta from South Africa and, although said to be a cultivar, there is but this one plant at Bancroft Garden. It reminds me of a Hesperaloe nocturna gone wild.
The plants commonly known as "freesias", with fragrant funnel-shaped flowers, are cultivated hybrids of a number of Freesia species, but this is native to the eastern side of southern Africa, from Kenya south to South Africa, most species being found in Cape Provinces. It is not in nurseries here, not even the one at the Garden. Perhaps this was experimental ... and it worked.
