Bled was on my bucketlist for a long time.
So we planned a Slovenien vacation with my wife on this summer.
We had a bit unluck with the weather, when we arrived to Bled.
At the first night a huge storm came, and it was raining for 5 days straight. Furthermore, we were camping. We planned to do so many things around Bled but we couldn’t. Most of the time we were just sitting in our tent. It was pretty awful.
On the last day, the storm went away, and we went out to the lake immediately. After the storm it was everything so beautiful.
This story reminds me about life itself. Sometimes we struggle, we keep doing our best, and it seems like there is no result. We have to stay persistent, because sooner or later the storm will go away.
April 8, 2024 - Diamond Ring at the Solar Eclipse Totality, as seen and photographed from Trinity Overlook Park in Dallas, Texas, during the Total Solar Eclipse! This was a Bucket List Photo Shoot and Experience for me! The clouds were thick on Eclipse Day, but thank God for answered prayers, as the clouds moved away and gave us an amazing sight with the Total Solar Eclipse totality!
Some coronavirus humor, to keep my spirits up, and maybe yours. Should such humor be called "ventilating?"
If the term "bucket list" is not familiar to you, see:

IF YOU ARE STILL READING, here are three important things to know about my bucket and my bucket list:
1. It is a small bucket. This is because my list is a short one.
2. I do not lock the bucket.
(a) This allows anyone who finds it a chance to add to my list. This is potentially an interesting innovation.
(b) This allows anyone to steal the list if they want. This has the potential to save me time and money that I might devote to a better cause.
3. The bucket is not secured in place, and it is next to a secluded public path. This means that anyone who needs a bucket worse than I do can take it without fear of consequences.
Location: A secluded public path, Riehen BS Switzerland.

My absolute bucketlist photo of my recent short visit to Dublin. Can't believe it actually worked out!
Initially I wanted to go on an early-access tour, but was too late with booking it. So I ended up getting an online ticket myself for 08:30 (right at opening time). I got there 30 mins before and was #3 in line. By 08:20, that tour showed up, but had to queue behind me. So missing out on it turned out to be the best thing to happen, as I would've otherwise never had a shot without people in it.
Het enorme Kasteel van Chambord is een schitterend bouwwerk en voor ons weer een puntje om van de bucketlist af te strepen. Het 16e-eeuwse jachtkasteel, het grootste en meest statige kasteel van de Loirestreek, telt 440 kamers en 365 torens. Om het domein van 5500 hectare groot staat een 32 kilometer lange muur.
Chambord, Frankrijk
The enormous Castle of Chambord is a wonderful building and another item to cross off our bucket list. The 16th-century castle, the largest and most stately castle in the Loire region, has 440 rooms and 365 towers. There is a 32 kilometer long wall surrounding the 5,500 hectare domain.
Chambord, France
Bucketlist item ticked off....as an adult. Apparently I came here as a child, but I don't remember it!
Amazing structure.
Bucket list to travel to Iceland. I don't think the northern lights are going to show for me, but Iceland has a lot more to offer.

Weer een bucketlist dingetje kunnen afvinken vandaag. Een SGM-2 reed solo in de 5600 vanmorgen. Met zijn 52,20 meter is dit het kortst mogelijke reizigerstreintje in echte NS-kleuren. Deze treinstellen zullen binnen afzienbare tijd het veld moeten ruimen, en in de herfstperiode mogen ze niet solo rijden. Grote kans dus dat dit de laatste keer was dat er op de Veluwelijn een solo SGM-2 te zien was.
Excuus voor de ongebruikelijke bewerking. Door een defect aan mijn Mac moest ik de foto op een ongecalibreerd en slecht scherm omzetten naar JPG.
Eleven years ago today I completed a lifetime dream of owning a book from the seventeen hundreds. I have always been fascinated by history, and more so the idea and thought of people who lived their day to day lives just like we do- so many, many years ago.
When I look at this book I wonder at all the people who have handled or read this book in the last 225 years- who they were, what inspired them, what they were passionate about… I think that is really what drives my Lifetime Dreams these days –connections and experiences.

The distance from the capital along the south coast, to the glacier lagoon of Jökulsárlón is about 400 km.
The lake can be seen from Highway 1 between Höfn and Skaftafell. It appears as "a ghostly procession of luminous blue icebergs".
This limestone relief found in the Royal Tomb at Amarna depicts Akhenaten, Nefertiti, and two of their daughters making an offering to the sun-disk Aten. Akhenaten and Nefertiti carry flowers to be laid on the table beneath the "life-giving" rays of the Aten.
Hij stond al een tijd op mijn bucketlist, dus moest het er nu maar eens van komen: de 's avonds buiten kantooruren onwezelijke sfeer bij het eindpunt aan de Zuidas van lijn 25. Een zee van licht in totaal verlaten kantoorgebouwen- geen mens op straat en een lege dubbellange tram die naadloos in het SF-achtige decor past...
Met dank aan Tim Boric voor de inspiratie.
NO ONE
The in the evening, outside office hours almost surreal atmosphere at the Terminus of Amsterdam tramline 25.
A sea of light in deserted buildings, not a living soul in sight - a totally empty double set CAF Urbos fits seamless in a SF- like decor...
I have taken a bit a break from Flickr for the past two months but I am back.
CN Tower Edge Walk. 356 meters up (1168 ft), got to walk the 150 meters around the edge of the observation tower with frequent stops and drills for thrills. The ledge is only 3.5 ft which adds to the lovely fright. I have to say this one was the most exhilarating / scary things I've done in a while and loved every second of it. Gives you perspective.
The Venetian Lagoon (Italian: Laguna di Venezia; Venetian: Łaguna de Venesia) is an enclosed bay of the Adriatic Sea, in northern Italy, in which the city of Venice is situated.
Its name in the Italian and Venetian languages, Laguna Veneta—cognate of Latin lacus, "lake"—has provided the international name for an enclosed, shallow embayment of salt water, a lagoon.
The Grand Canal (Canal Grande, Canal Grando, anciently Canałasso) is a channel in Venice and one of the city's major water-traffic corridors.
One end leads into the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and the other into the basin at San Marco; in between, it makes a large reverse-S shape through the central districts (sestieri) of Venice. It is 3.8 km long, and 30 to 90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).

Years ago, when I listed out the lifetime dreams I wanted to chase, completing my journal was one of those dreams. I have since completed it, started another which will itself be finished in the next few weeks. But I thought about collecting a representation of all the writing that I do- besides just the pages of my journal.
I told myself it would be neat to collect all the pens that I go through as I write. I thought if I could collect say 500 pens, surely that would take a lifetime to complete. To be exact it took twelve years. Yesterday I used my 500th pen to complete the collection, and sitting back looking at them all I am a bit astonished at what 500 pens looks like when you put them all together. That’s a lot of writing…
Those who know me know that I will only write with a Pilot G-2 pen because of their quality and consistency- it plays into my OCD. Those who know me, also know I’ll also build some sort of a display case to showcase all of these which is coming after a few other projects get completed.
Thanks Pilot pens- best pens ever! How about a sponsorship?!?!

BUCKETLIST: WINTER
I finally checkmarked "capture a true winter" off of my bucketlist. This was in Fairbanks AK at Pioneer Park. The streetlight lit this scene up close to midnight.
Carn Galver Mine. The name Carn Galver means rockpile at the lookout place. There is a small pumping and a whim engine house on the St Just - St Ives coastal road (B3306). The mine was worked until 1878. It was restored twenty ago by the National Trust. This mine was never really productive and suffered from drainage problems.
Carn Galver Mine appears to have operated 1851–59, and 1871–77, 1882, becoming in 1907 Bosigran Consols
Gurnard's Head copper mine was operating in the 1830's using a 20 inch wide water wheel. Porthmeor Valley - contains many mining remains, including water wheel pits and circular ore washing sites Carn Galver - near the hamlet of Rosemergy, was part of Morvah and Zennor United. It was a very wet mine, and the pump drew water from 780 feet down, with a second engine used to raise and crush the ore. It stopped working in 1878
1871 it employed seventy miners, with an adit 70 fathoms below the surface and a shaft sunk to 130 fathoms. The ore was crushed by a compound steam engine, fitted with two pneumatic stamps. The mine was pumped out by steam power.
In the top #3 of the Rome-bucketlist is the ancient city. That includes Palatine Hill, Roman Forum and the Colosseum. I am particularly intrigued by the extremely rich and often bloody history and will try to share some of it. But these are all classic tourist attractions. What local diamonds did you visit and should not be missed? #localgem (bij Colosseum)
