HALCYON (hal-see-yon): Adj. – Peaceful, Carefree, Untroubled, Prosperous
Coffeehouse by day, bar & lounge by night where you can always relax and find your own personal “halcyon”.
There is limited parking around this place but it's in the middle of all the new high-rise condos and downtown apartments so it's almost always busy.
I wonder will we be
Up to the legend once we heard
I wonder if we will see
Each other flying as two

This is a scene from the soon to be open, public sim, "Halcyon" by (Sadienova Resident) of Interiorscapes.
• Harbor lights begin to glow,
Guiding tides that softly flow.
On quiet waves their colors gleam,
Like scattered stars in evening's dream.
They whisper home through wind and foam,
A promise: 'you are not alone.'
While night unfolds its velvet skies,
Hope shines where sea and shore arise.
Have a good weekend you all !
Maksimir Park is the oldest public park (founded in 1787, under the initiative of Bishop Maksimilijan Vrhovac of Zagreb) in Zagreb, Croatia. It was the first large public park in South-Eastern Europe. The park's landscaping style is predominantly romantic neoclassicism.
Male Common Kingfisher.
Although I have been trying to get 'different' shots of this wonderful bird - i.e. in flight or shaking a fish / motion blur etc - a simple portrait just shows how beautiful he is!

Another superb early morning in Coigach with low cloud and mist swirling over the tops of Stac Pollaidh and Cul Beag.
“some rise by wrong
and some by virtue fall
and those in judgment
could be
guiltiest of all
wash it all away
I'd love to bring you
on a silver tray,
some halcyon days”

Halcyon has been donated to The Center for Wooden Boats and is being placed in their permanent collection of historically significant boats. Built in 1948, she is a 40 ft salmon trawler designed by Bill Gardin and later refit by master shipwright Sam Fry as a comfortable cruising trawler. The design goal was to replicate the original Bill Garden's lines to look like a working troller until you step aboard and realize that she is a new built on the original hull. She will be hosting day charters and serving as a teaching platform for maritime skills.
The 131 ft Schooner Adventuress was launched in East Boothbay, Maine, in 1913. She did arctic exploration, served as a bar pilot vessel in San Francisco and is now offering hands-on environmental education and leadership development to thousands of young people annually and partnering with youth-serving organizations to reach at-risk kids. Adventuress is a National Historic Landmark officially recognized as “Puget Sound’s Environmental Tall Ship.” She was less tall this day as she was sailing without her topmasts.
