Hekla until 25th. January 2025
ENGINE FAILURE.
On 9th. July 2018 while enroute from Klaipeda, Lithuania to Cork, Ireland with a crew of eight on board and carrying 3.300 tonnes of fertilizer and 56.5 tonnes of marine grade oil, Hekla suffered an engine failure in position 51 08 15N, 01 34 24.6E. The problem was fixed in 30 minutes and the vessel resumed its voyage to Cork.
GROUNDING NEAR SEHESTEDT.
On 2nd. July 2016 whilst enroute from Gdansk, Poland, to Bremen, Germany, Hekla ran aground on the embankment of the Kiel Canal near Sehestedt, close to the wharf at Steinwehr. The canal was closed to shipping for short time before the traffic control at Brunsbüttel allowed ship traffic in one direction between Rade and Königsförde. The tug Kiel was dispatched from Kiel and pulled the ship back into the channel at 7 a.m. The tug then escorted Hekla to the communal port in Rendsburg where it moored at 7.50 a.m. and the water Police Kiel boarded to begin investigations. A diver was called for a hull survey after which at 2 p.m. the ship was allowed to continue its voyage,
GROUNDING IN KOLDING FJORD.
On 16th. March 2016 while enroute from IJmuiden, Holland to Kolding, Denmark, Hekla ran aground at Drejens Odde in the Kolding Fjord. The cause of the grounding was unknown. The ship seemed to have suffered a leak and remained aground until a salvage plan has been approved. The Danish SAR boat Hercules- MHV 812 was on site in the morning of 16th. March. On 18th. March the ship was refloated by tug Fenja and thereafter moored at the North Quay in Kolding at 10.30 a.m. for inspections and to be unloaded.

since we lost the ground under our feet a short while ago, working with clay was great fun and helped reconnect... glazing will be a new chapter for me, I am curious
It’s ok if all you can do in this moment is listen to the sound of your favorite calming music and try to keep breathing. It’s ok to focus on the peaceful, soothing sounds of the string instruments you find so beautifully captivating and grounding. It’s ok to listen to the sound of survival, the sound of healing, the sound of growth, the sound of wounded parts being seen, cared for and mended, the sound of light in the darkness. Though it certainly doesn’t feel like it, this is what is happening—one note at a time, one moment at a time—as you listen to the sound.

Soft Wild
Dubai, April 2026.
Some looks don’t arrive loudly. They unfold.
Light, movement, a little undone in the best way.
The Serafina set feels like that moment just before golden hour fully settles. The crisp structure of the top, the fluid drop of the skirt, and then that long trailing sweep that follows you like a second thought. It is controlled, but never stiff. Elegant, but never distant.
What makes it linger is the contrast. Clean lines above, softness below. A silhouette that feels styled, yet somehow effortless.
The Lode head wreath brings in something quieter. Organic. Almost weightless. It softens everything without taking away from the shape. Like it belongs there without asking.
And then the finish.
The Yasum heels, delicate and wrapped, grounding the look just enough.
And the hair, loose and moving, catching light the way it should when nothing is forced.
This is the kind of styling that does not try to impress.
It simply exists beautifully, and lets you notice.

A classic perspective, interrupted by motion.
The view of the London Eye from Westminster Bridge is perhaps one of the most captured sights in the city, but framing it from this low, street-level vantage point gives it a completely different grounding.
The strong leading lines of the road draw the viewer directly into the frame, while the heavy, aggressive motion blur of the passing vehicle on the left introduces a sense of chaotic speed. This fleeting urban motion contrasts sharply with the static, timeless silhouettes of the pedestrians, the ornate lamppost, and the massive geometry of the wheel against a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. It is a familiar London postcard transformed into a gritty, dynamic piece of high-contrast monochrome street art.

More than a few falling trees in the woods just behind my house.
The trees were initially planted too close together; it’s also visible to see that the roots don’t go down deep enough into the ground to give the trees a good grounding.
The woods were formerly the foot hills for a stone quarry, and is doesn’t look like adequate site clearance took place, in order for the trees to thrive.

from the self-poised center of all depths and breadths and heights,
a glance that gifts me conviction and makes you increasingly dear.
entering the un-rushed grounding of an experience and being open to the moment subtly revealed the wisdom; revelations of many heart moments unfalteringly unfolding and laid bare, 'to love, not use' instead of 'to use, not love.' a string of fulfilled and lived experiences through attention of Heart to what ought to be central and visible in affection; not mentally preoccupied to the timepiece of an invisible ego.
like swans formed as paintings of light and sculpted down to their essences - shaping an innermost world as gracefully & inexorably as its purest visible manifestations, is done through the radiance and rhythm of truthfulness, tenderness and faithfulness; and such purity of thought restores our subtle and respectful sight & our melodious listening. entering the meditative scope of a thought in a many-faceted landscape at break of dawn, each small wonder magnifies through this companionable presence.
Ceraso - a faithful giant of good nature. He gave our group of dogs security and a solid grounding. Nothing made him fear except stairs.So he never entered the first floor of our house :) To our great sadness, he died of cancer two years ago.

At about 05:40 on 20 September 2017, the German flag chemical tanker"Seatrout" (IMO 9352303) collided with the 1990 built, 225m long bulk carrier Usolie (IMO 8800315).
The accident happened at Rilland Bath on about the same spot where the large container vessel CSCL Jupiter grounded on 14 August 2017.
After the collision, the Seatrout, which was on its way from Antwerp to the Russian port of Ust Luga, grounded on the mudflats at Rilland. The bulk carrier Usolie, wich was enroute from Antwerp to Klaipeida, continued to Vlissingen at the mouth of the river Schelde where it anchored for inspection.
At 15:45h the same day, the Seatrout was refloated again and it sailed to the port of Vlissingen for inspection.

How rare a shot might this be?
At one time Garuda had an order for 50 737MAX series aircraft, of which only 1 was ever delivered before the MAX groundings.
Following that there has been massive confusion over Garuda's intent with the type.
Initially Garuda cancelled its entire order citing loss of passenger confidence. Later in 2020 it was revealed that Garuda had not cancelled the order after all and instead was ordering the MAX10 and deliveries would resume. In late 2020 Garuda stated that discussions with Boeing were "ongoing".
As of December 2022 no additional 737MAX aircraft have been delivered to Garuda and it seems fair to wonder at this stage if the loss making carrier will ever take delivery of another MAX at all.

Dark clouds hover ominously over the city skyline, with a break of light piercing through the gray, subtly illuminating the buildings. The dramatic contrast between the sky and the architecture amplifies the moody and slightly ominous atmosphere of the scene. The bridge in the foreground adds a grounding structure, while the sky symbolizes nature’s unpredictability. A compelling portrayal of urban drama and natural beauty.

For me, stopping by the local cemetery every now and then is a very grounding experience. The lunacy of life can be put on hold for a few minutes. This is the entrance to Holy Cross Cemetery in Menlo Park, Calif, and just down the street from where I live. The cemetery was established in 1872, so there's a lot of history buried here.
Due to the MD-11 grounding, FedEx's 777Fs were used on several high demand domestic flights. This one in particular operating FX1234 back to Memphis (MEM). With the MD-11s finally back in service, this sighting is kind of rare, and may not be for a while.

Hello Everyone, I hope you are all enjoying this beautiful Saturday! Today I will be sharing the first set of photos of a large-scale interior design project that we have recently completed for our client, Chontei. From the beginning of this project, Chontei had a clear vision of the design foundation that she wanted to see throughout the numerous spaces that comprise her home. Chontei envisioned dark hardwood floors throughout, with a light & neutral colour palette to offset the grounding effect that a dark floor has on a space. As you all know, and will see in this series of photos, we at The Design Firm love to customize our clients' spaces, whenever possible. We took Chontei’s dark hardwood floor request & kicked it up a notch, adding in stone & marble inlays within the flooring of each room, creating layers of beautifully polished stones, which are complimented with layers of polished exotic dark woods.
In the first photo, you are getting a look into the Grand Foyer. The very first room you see when entering Chontei’s home. The foyer is so large in scale, we opted to break the space up into three distinct areas. The first area is directly in front of the home's main entry point (out of shot) where we’ve placed a large console table, with an assortment of accessories, in the centre of the space. On the right & left-hand side of this photo (out of shot) there are two large console tables, each with a pair of lamps, accessories, as well as a set of chairs on each side. The second area of the foyer houses the dual grand staircases, with a small console table centered between them. Beneath each staircase, we’ve placed two large identical horse statues, each slightly tilted towards the front door. To finish off this area, we’ve placed a large series of art, ascending each staircase. The third and final area of the foyer, at the very back of the space, connects the foyer to the formal living room, as well as hallways on the right & left-hand side connecting to separate wings of the home. We’ve also opted to keep this portion of the foyer rather simple, placing matching dual book cases, complete with accessories.
In the second photo, you are getting a peak into the formal living room. When working on this space, we wanted it to have the feeling of a hotel lobby. To accomplish this, we started by placing a grand piano at the back of the space, centering it with the main doorway that connects the space with the Grand Foyer. We then decided to create two separate, but identical, seating areas within the space. Out of shot, we’ve filled the walls with large canvases of modern art in a neutral palette, complimenting the colour scheme that Chontei has chosen. Also out of shot, on each side of the main doorway which leads to the Grand Foyer, we’ve placed two large credenzas, each topped with a set of beautiful lamps and accessories.
Over the next 1-2 weeks I will share the other sets of photos that our amazing photographer, Sean, has taken of this project. Trust me, there are a bunch of great photos to share!
As always, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting the work that my colleagues and I churn out at The Design Firm. It means the world to us that almost three years later, since we joined up to create The Design Firm, that you still follow & support everything that we do. Even if we don’t always get around to posting about all of the projects that we are doing around the grid.
Lastly, I always recommend viewing my photos in full screen mode when able! This allows you to see the true depth and detail of the spaces that my colleagues and I create for our clients.

By A23H, oil painting, 1965.
Alfred 23 Harth’s artistic trajectory began in early childhood with an imaginative impulse that combined construction, performance, and visual play. As a boy he dreamt of becoming an architect, spending countless hours in his parents’ garden where he built small huts in ever-changing variations, a practice that anticipated both his restlessness for experimentation and his sense of structure as form-in-process. A decisive moment arrived in 1958, when his elder brother Dietrich—later to become a literature professor—took him to a Dada exhibition in Frankfurt am Main. Harth himself has described this encounter as his initiation into art. Among the works he saw, the piece titled The Navel—simply a black dot centered on a white sheet of paper—struck him with lasting force. Its stark minimalism revealed to him the intellectual tension between a textual title and the conceptual reduction of an artwork to pure gesture, a confrontation that laid bare the simultaneity of seriousness and play which would remain central to his understanding of the avant-garde.
Through the following years Harth’s ambitions in the arts deepened. At school he immersed himself in art courses, quickly mastering a variety of techniques and beginning to dramatize small situations in public and private settings, often appearing in phantasy costumes of his own invention. At the age of twelve his father gave him his first photo camera, which became an outlet for experimentation alongside a growing dedication to pencil drawings. These were often portraits of jazz musicians, figures whose biographies he devoured and whose artistic freedom served as inspiration. By the age of fifteen he turned to oil painting, marking a further expansion of his visual vocabulary. His family supported his emerging musical life as well. Having already played the clarinet for several years, he received his first tenor saxophone from his parents, the instrument that would become central to his later career.
The final years of school were formative in a concentrated sense. He moved to the Goethe Gymnasium, where he specialized in art studies within an advanced curriculum. This provided him not only with a technical foundation but also with a robust overview of international avant-garde movements, complemented by the thriving artistic exchange active in Frankfurt during the 1960s. Harth’s creativity spilled beyond the classroom: together with his friend Hubertus Gassner—who would later become director of the Hamburg Kunsthalle—he staged happenings and other art events. Harth founded the centrum freier cunst, an experimental initiative served as a platform for events ranging from concerts of his own free music ensemble Just Music to exhibitions of conceptual art and cross-disciplinary interventions. Simultaneously, he began producing short films and working with conceptual strategies that blurred traditional boundaries between art forms, while maintaining an intense parallel involvement in both music and school life.
After completing the Abitur in 1968, Harth initially enrolled at the Werkkunstschule Offenbach to study design, connecting his experiments in visual and spatial arts with the applied fields of form and communication. Yet the pull of pedagogy and the broader theoretical grounding offered by academia led him to switch to Goethe University, where he began training as an art teacher. Throughout this period, he never ceased his musical explorations, continuing to perform and to extend his personal synthesis of experimental art, music, and theory—a foundational blend that would define his multifaceted trajectory in the decades to come. Alfred Harth's focus on synästhetic creation was indeed a significant aspect of his artistic approach at that time. He was interested in exploring synaesthesia beyond traditional media like TV, film, or theater, aiming to realize multisensory or synästhetic works that integrated sound, visual elements, and space in novel ways. This approach reflected his broader interest in breaking conventional boundaries of artistic disciplines and engaging the audience in immersive, multi-layered experiences that could not be confined to a single medium or format.

Canadian leisure airline Sunwing Airlines said on Aug. 13th., 2019 it removed the 4 Boeing 737 MAX jet from its network’s winter schedule through May 2020, the longest of any carrier yet, as the plane’s grounding drags on longer than the industry previously expected. Sunwing said in a statement that its winter schedule, which goes into effect on Nov. 5 and runs until mid-May, is being planned without the MAX to give passengers “much-needed reassurance” while planning their winter vacations.
Karsha Gompa clings to the mountain like a natural extension of the cliffside. These structures were built in high, inaccessible reaches for both protection and perspective. Historically, the elevation provided a defensive advantage, but spiritually, it offers an unobstructed view of the impermanence of the world below. From this height, the monks watch the seasons shift across the valley, grounding their daily rituals in the vast, unchanging rhythms of the earth.
When?
over seas within forests
when?
in heart and soul
there and again...
it strikes
in testimony
from the breeze it hitchhikes
a golden tide orbiting,
turning us over
like the oration of falling leaves
halting upon velveteen floors
between grimacing shadows
the grounding of me
lays beside the reminder of you.

Treat yourself or a loved one to a bespoke self-care experience, where you can truly unwind, recharge, and embrace the stillness. And yes, if you thought you saw it all during the Self-Love Event, think again... I always have a few surprises up my sleeve! 😉💫

The dimly lit room was steeped in smoky jazz and whispered conversations. A lone trumpet wailed, the sound drifting lazily above the murmur of clinking glasses and muted chatter. I stood just inside the doorway. My fingers traced the coarse edges of my houndstooth coat, the texture grounding me against the weight of waiting.

A quiet moment before the day unfolds. There's something grounding about beginning each morning with simple rituals—a warm cup of tea, the rustle of newspaper pages, the comfort of being inside while the cold air lingers outside the window. The soft window light reminds us that every dawn brings fresh possibilities, a chance to pause and set our intentions before stepping into whatever the day holds.
In the stillness of morning, we find space to breathe, to reflect, to simply be. This is where clarity lives—in the gentle transitions between sleep and waking, between yesterday and today.
