As picturesque as it is, I found it very difficult to visit here knowing I had to leave this beautiful spot behind. We visited a number of such spots but I still think this is the “Greatest Little Resting Spot” on my trip. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay kind.

I have shown this photo in a colour version before.
Today I show it again as a symbol of social distancing, which has become so normal for all of us in these days

No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust"

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Taking your breath, stealing your mind
And all that was real is left behind
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over
It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open
It's a preacher in the pulpit and you'll find devotion
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall it's holding I'll let you now
So tell me do you wanna go?
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
- Benj Pasek (The Greatest Show)
May the peace that is Christmas find you. Wishing everyone good cheer, and a happiness so out of this world, like the one I've found in this beautiful woman beside me right now.

Friendship is one of life's greatest treasures.
Friends who are always there to make you laugh when you are down, they are not afraid to help you avoid mistakes and they look after your best interest and vice versa.

Location at Wild Rose
The Gniezno Cathedral, together with the Lech Hill, is one of the greatest monuments in Poland.
In 999, the funeral of St. Wojciech and his canonization by Pope Sylvester II. In 1000 to tomb of St. Wojciech, Emperor Otto III arrived and it was so-called The First Congress of Gniezno. The Archdiocese of Gniezno and the First Ecclesiastical Metropolis in Poland, subject only to the Pope, were created. The silver reliquary of Saint Adalbert is located in the center of the Gothic chancel of the cathedral.
In 1025, Bolesław Chrobry was crowned king here, and after his death, his son Mieszko II. In 1076, Bolesław II Szczodry was crowned king of Poland.
In the cathedral, there are the famous Gniezno Doors depicting the biography of St. Wojciech. In the basement of the cathedral, you can see the relics of a stone building from the end of the 9th century, discovered during archaeological research, and fragments of the walls of the Basilica of Mieszko I.
During the first centuries of the emerging statehood, Gniezno was the capital of Poland. The last coronation of the King of Poland, Prince Przemysł II was in 1295. Wacław II of Bohemia was also crowned king here in 1300 after the armed seizure of Gniezno. In 1331, the Teutonic Knights entered the first capital of Poland, destroying the city and the temple.

Katedra Gnieźnieńska wraz z Wzgórzem Lecha jest jednym z największych zabytków Polski.
W 999 roku odbył się pogrzeb św. Wojciecha oraz jego kanonizacja przez papieża Sylwestra II, a roku 1000 do grobu św. Wojciecha przybył cesarz Otton III. Odbył się wtedy tzw. I Zjazd Gnieźnieński. Utworzono archidiecezję gnieźnieńską i I metropolię kościelną w Polsce, podległą wyłącznie papieżowi. Srebrny relikwiarz świętego Wojciecha znajduje się w centrum gotyckiego prezbiterium katedry.
W 1025 roku koronował się tutaj na króla Bolesław Chrobry, a po jego śmierci syn Mieszko II. W 1076 roku na króla Polski koronował się Bolesław II Szczodry.
W katedrze znajdują się słynne Drzwi Gnieźnieńskie przedstawiające życiorys św. Wojciecha. W podziemiach katedry można zobaczyć odkryte podczas badań archeologicznych relikty budowli kamiennej z końca IX wieku oraz fragmenty murów bazyliki Mieszka I.
Przez pierwsze wieki tworzącej się państwowości, Gniezno było stolicą Polski. Ostatnia koronacja na króla Polski, księcia Przemysła II była w 1295 roku. Na króla koronował się tutaj również Wacław II Czeski w roku 1300 po zbrojnym zajęciu Gniezna. W 1331 roku do pierwszej stolicy Polski wkroczyli Krzyżacy, niszcząc miasto i świątynię.

I recently visited an university for a try-out day where I followed a couple of lectures for philosophy. It was a rather interesting experience. Though I admittedly did not find all the lectures particularly interesting, there was one that stuck by me. [read more...]

Now that I'm retired, I truly intend to "up my game", as George says, when it comes to my Caturday photos but this week the moment was too perfect to not just pick up my phone and grab a quick snapshot.
This week's Caturday theme is "greatest human invention" according to our cats. Although both cats love their heated mats Pippi fell in love with my space heater the first time I turned it on. She is never more than a few inches away when it is on. This week I was watching a movie and as soon as I turned the space heater on, Pippi moved from my lap to my desk so she could be even closer. We share our love of heat.

To my greatest regret, I have to inform you that today is the last Poppy Monday (at least for this year). Next year there will (hopefully) be replenished again.
But considering the number of poppy fields I was able to visit this year (one), I am more than satisfied with the yield, not to say happy.
And so I wish you all a week (what else could come next) full of happiness and satifaction. And maybe a little anticipation for what's to come next year. And next year. And in the next... You understand the principle. 😉
Zu meinem allergrößten Bedauern muss ich Euch mitteilen, dass heute der (zumindest für dieses Jahr) letzte Mo(h)ntag ist. Nächstes Jahr gibts dann (hoffentlich) wieder Nachschub.
Doch gemessen an der Anzahl der Mohnfelder, die ich in diesem Jahr besuchen konnte (eins) bin ich mit der Ausbeute mehr als zufrieden, um nicht zu sagen glücklich.
Und so wünsche ich Euch allen eine Woche (was sollte jetzt auch anderes kommen) voller Glück und Zufriedenheit. Und vielleicht noch ein wenig Vorfreude auf das, was noch so kommt im Jahr. Und im nächsten Jahr. Und im nächsten ... Ihr versteht das Prinzip. 😉

One of the greatest annual holiday traditions within Second Life is the Calas Galadhon Christmas Winter setting. This year’s Winter Christmas theme is called “A Christmas Wish.”
This virtual winter wonderland features live entertainment, ice skating, dancing, sledding, balloon tours, sleigh rides, and an abundance of beautiful places to explore, experience, and enjoy.
Ty Tenk and Truck Meredith have splendidly captured a feeling of open wilderness which adds to its sense of remoteness, beauty, and romance; all of which pay tribute to winter’s solace, its biophilic presence, beauty and fractal patterns for all to experience and enjoy.
In keeping with its tradition, I took to the ice at Calas Galadhon wearing this beautiful Cometa Winter Dress by Linda Foodiboo and a pair of ice skates by AvaGirl. These wonderfully detailed pieces have splendid Color Huds – each with an array of color options to choose from. The Skates also feature incredible skate animations for both figure skating and acrobatic tricks on the ice.
Both the Cometa Dress and Ice Skates are exclusively premiered at Swank Winter Wonderland's December Sales Event. Look for free gifts at these booths!

SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW – LILY ALLEN
AGENT OF GOOD FORTUNE
Like a muse you came to me
the news was so very good to read
I saw the writing on every wall
and in every mirror reflections of your soul
shadows whispering round my heels
soft, floating wishes; an agent of good fortune
marching your feet so very tirelessly
and though I am quite an effort
I am so happy you think I'm worth it
for I've never met another man like you
and I don't suppose I ever wanted to
because you are truly one of a kind
the kind of man who gets me so completely
that I feel whole instead of a jumbled puzzle
a broken plaything that someone else grew tired of
and abandoned me to myself,
like a discarded toy high up on a dusty shelf
but what a gift; a treasure they left so far behind and never knew
like in a fairy tale you woke me from my endless reverie
A Prince that listens to all my tales of woe and misery
and never fails to make me smile
who listens to my nonsense
and levels it with such good advice;
someone who's prepared to go that extra mile
I hear you laughing now, so at least in equal measures
a pinch of sarcasm amid our hidden pleasures
but I can take it; my shoulders broad
even if only metaphorically
but then metaphysically my poetry
doesn't need to rhyme
because the emphasis is on the words
the meanings and not beating time
I know you like it to be simpler
and you pretend to misunderstand
but I know you're smarter
than the average bear Boo-Boo
I can sometimes wax lyrical if you prefer
but I can't always tell how it will end
because I write in a stream of consciousness
and when I read it back
it's often the first I've heard of it
there's no accounting for what's hidden in our minds
but what I do know is what is in my heart
and you captivated a part of me right from the start
it's as though somewhere in the universe
a split appeared and then I fell to Earth
but you'd already been here for a little while
and never knew until one day you saw me smile
and it hit you that I was the other half of you
but there's nothing to be done about it
at least not in this incarnation
even if we had the right inclination
we cannot mess with divine intervention
but be patient because we already
waited several lifetimes
so what's another one or two
and this time round I have a photographic memory
so I will remember and not make the same mistakes again next time
and when the portal to our dreams opens up it's doors once more
I will wait for the perfect moment
and then I will be yours
and we will go to that special place
that special somewhere that only we can know
where there's no other place we want to go
you know the place I mean
it looms so large in both our dreams
I think that you will be my rock
the anchor that weights me down
for in this world I'm only floating
round and round trying hard to never be found
because I don't want to be with anyone else
I'm holding out for another lifetime
when you and I can dance around
and we will be forever bound
together ...

Possibly the world's greatest dessert, Lisbon is the spiritual home of Pasteis de Nata. And these are not your Chinese knockoffs, the best of which are poor second cousins to the originals. These samples are served by Pasteis de Belem, perhaps the most famous purveyor of this confection in the world.

We are gonna be the greatest love story this world has ever seen
So baby say yes to me
