Prelude FPSO is the longest boat in the world with nearly 500 m long. I am here at the top of a mountain in Korea contemplating this huge boat, getting finished in its yard.

*Contemplating:
1. looking at thoughtfully; observing deep in thought;
2. thinking intently and at length, as for spiritual purposes;
3. reflecting deeply on a subject

"One has to tiptoe lightly and steal up to one's quarry; you don't swish the water when you are fishing. I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us."
-Henri Cartier-Bresson

Cadillac Mountain is the highest coastal point on the East Coast of the United States, at 1,532 feet (~500m). Thousands ascend by car to the mountain's summit to see what they believe is the United States first sunrise and to see the rest of the island.
The view's not so bad from there, but you can do it from any position. The formalities aren't all so necessary.
With my telephoto lens in hand, I often spotted little frogs near the water lilies—but this one, in particular, caught my eye. It seemed to be quietly contemplating the situation, casually moving its hand across its chin. I found the moment intriguing—hope you will too.
My friend relaxing in front of Lake Sabrina in the Bishop area of the Eastern Sierra Range as the Milky Way rises up over the horizon.
As I was taking the photos I asked him what he was thinking, He said "absolutely nothing", he was just enjoying staring up at the starry night.

Our lovely holiday in Hickling seems like an age away now. Since our return home, Oldmangellyroo's health has not been at all good (a dicky ticker!) and he is now in hospital, so if you're wondering why I haven't been posting, or been out and about taking snaps then this is why. Probably comments and faves on your photos have been a bit random too, so apologies. Hopefully normal service will be returned in the future! Meanwhile, happy memories!
Inspired about how often people sit on the couch (or sofa) especially during the period of lockdown. Previously it was seen as a place of comfort and rest but now it feels like a trap or prison.
My wife loosely fenced off a part of our back yard to allow fresh grass seed to take good root before being trampled by the dogs. Pippin honored the boundary well, but then we got Aria, who has no such restraint. Here she is, considering breaching the edge. (She didn't; she is getting a little better at restraining herself, even as she more easily _could_ get in)
