"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.
"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."
Slow down, take a deep breath and just contemplate the beauty of big white clouds hanging over the sea. This view gives me a great sense of peace.
The view's not so bad from there, but you can do it from any position. The formalities aren't all so necessary.

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)

Big surf this morning at South Avalon. This surfer was heading in and just had to wait for the sets to end. Glad he stayed still for me.
The hogger of former Southern Railway GP30 No. 2560 is awaiting orders to move his train. Two geeps were attached to an excursion train pulled by Norfolk & Western 611. The image was made in Danville, Kentucky.
