Have a great weekend!

Pelican and Golden Gate Bridge - San Francisco, CA

Chugging along with beats of my heart,

Tugging its strings with a long, shrill whistle.

It pulls away, into a sunset,

Where my ears cannot hear its lonely tune.

Depth over distance every time, my dear

And this tree of ours may grow tall in the woods

But it's the roots that will bind us here

To the ground

Depth over distance was all I asked of you

And I may be foolish to fall as I do

Still there's strength in the blindness you fear

If you're coming too

If you're coming too

Hold on, wait until that lone sun

Breaks from the arms of the Lord

Hold on, though we may be too young

To know this ride we're on

Depth over distance was all I asked of you

And everybody round here's acting like a stone

Still there's things I'd do, darling, I'd go blind for you

If you let grow sometimes, let it grow sometimes, let it grow

Just let it grow sometimes

Hold on, wait until that lone sun

Breaks from the arms of the Lord

Hold on, though we may be too young

To know this ride we're on

Hold on, though we may be too young

To know this ride we're on

Depth over distance every time, my dear,

And I may be foolish to fall as I do

Still there's strength in the blindness you fear

If you're coming too, hmm

If you're coming too

Hold on, wait until that lone sun

Breaks from the arms of the Lord

Hold on, though we may be too young

To know this ride we're on

To know this ride we're on

To know this ride we're on

Sieben kecke Schnirkelschnecken

saßen einst auf einem Stecken,

machten dort auf ihrem Sitze

kecke Schnirkelschneckenwitze.

Lachten alle so:

"Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!"

 

Doch vor lauter Ho-ho-Lachen,

Schnirkelschneckenwitze-Machen,

fielen sie von ihrem Stecken:

alle sieben Schnirkelschnecken.

Liegen alle da.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Chinese New Year was upon Bangkok and a romantic, rose-laden tunnel was erected in front of Siam Paragon. I caught this unlikely couple sharing a moment in the tunnel, knowingly or not.

Well at least the penguins get it.

A local cafe recently reopened.

Re-edited old photo from my archives.

In the distance a modern cargo ship decidedly not the Pinta, which together with the Niña and the Santa Maria formed the fleet of Christopher Columbus (1451-1506) on his first voyage to the 'New' World. In 1492, shortly after setting out from Cádiz, the Pinta developed rudder problems which could only be repaired in a harbor. Columbus thus landed his tiny fleet of caravels at Las Palmas. Soon repairs were made and after loading supplies they were on their way to the 'new' continent. It is said that the house in which Columbus resided in Las Palmas was later incorporated into the Governor's palace (see inset) which is now a museum devoted to him and his voyages of discovery. It's located right next to the Cathedral, which was built around 1500 so Columbus wouldn't have seen it.

Building of the Cathedral began in earnest after the defeat of the enemies of Spain who attempted to take Gran Canaria. Famous in those attempts was Dutch admiral Pieter van der Does (1462-1599) whose men took Las Palmas for a few days in July 1499 but were then driven away. Van der Does died of his wounds on the coast of Africa. It was humorous this morning in the botanical garden here to hear a teacher enthusiastically relating that history to his wards. When he announced Van der Does's defeat an applaus and 'olés' rang out.

The view is of the cupola of Santa Ana from one of its towers.

This shot taken on my summer holiday in January, 2002 with my little Canon 2.1 Mp point and shoot camera. A beach that disappeared into the distance was like a dream come true back in those days. Retirement was my best career move ever, now I have more beaches than I could ever dream of.

The patio furniture is out again and the boys enjoy the sun on the veranda - with their usual distance, of course...

Cats do not risk COVI-19, but we do, so take care, you all.
