Corona beer in rural isolation. Apparently Corona beer sales are off as people shun it due to the name it shares with the dreaded Corona Virus. When news of the virus started to emerge I said to my hubby, I'll bet this is going to hurt Corona beer. People are so predictable and silly.
Luckily, I drink red wine. Can you imagine if they had named this the Cabernet Virus, Yikes!
We're Here is visiting the Corona Virus Group, yes there really is such a group. Flickr has it all.

Matthew 14:23
After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone ..
Maybe it would be good for us to get alone with God and talk to Him and listen to Him.
Maybe it would save us a lot of unnecessary anxiety if we did it first as last.
I frequently bring myself to wonder how I'd survive if I were to reside in those isolated houses for a some time.
I think I'd go bonkers. Yet, it provides a sane, tranquil release from the corporate and societal rat race. Will I survive?

This is the church for the Icelandic coastal town of Vik, nestled between the snow-capped hills around it.
In addition to the cluster photo, I also wanted to get a shot of a single beetle, which I got here.

The first supply aircraft in over six months landed at Europe’s Concordia station on 6 November, bringing long-awaited equipment, food – including fresh fruit – and replacement personnel.
The flight comes just seven weeks after daylight returned to the station on 17 September, following 105 days of continuous night.
Pictured here is glaciologist and atmospheric physicist Giampietro Casasanta from the Italian National Research Council waiting outside in the snow for the aircraft.
ESA-sponsored medical doctor Beth Healey, from the UK, is spending nine months at Concordia as part of the 2015 winter-over team.
ESA sponsors a medical research doctor in Concordia every winter to study the long-term effects of isolation. Understanding how our bodies and minds adapt to extreme environments will help to overcome the challenges of long flights aboard the International Space Station and beyond.
Concordia research station in Antarctica sits on a plateau 3200 m above sea level. A place of extremes, temperatures can drop to –80°C in the winter, with a yearly average temperature of –50°C.
As Concordia lies at the southern tip of Earth, the Sun does not rise above the horizon in the winter and does not set in the summer. The crew must live without sunlight for four months of the year.
The altitude and location mean that the air in Concordia is very thin and holds less oxygen. Venturing outside the base requires wearing layers of clothes and limits the time spent outdoors.
During the harsh winter no outside help can be flown in or reach the base over land – the crew have to solve any problems on their own.
The base is so unlike anything found elsewhere in the world that ESA participates in the Italian–French base to research future missions to other planets.

Somewhat Inspired by the current pandemic, New Zealand is into day 4 of lockdown and it all still feels a bit surreal.
In these chaotic times, we must practice isolation not only to protect ourselves but as well as our love ones.
My first image from todays 7 mile coastal walk in a blizzard from Heybrook bay to Noss Mayo and back. Got a bit hairy at times, especially the drive out but well worth the struggle to get several winder wonders

Left is with the reshade+sweetfx config. It may not look like much but I think that in subtlety is key here. Besides, I've not finished the game either so I don't want to stray off from the original looks just yet.
I drive past this beautiful tree every day , I had to finally take a photo of it.

Bryce State Hospital was one of the most beautiful asylums I have visited. Most of the architecture was fairly plain within the wards, but the decay was beautiful and there were elements in this building I had never seen before.
Sadly, the wings of this 1850's era building were demolished in 2014, when the nearby University purchased the property. The Administration section of the building remains, and will likely be turned into a museum, but the wards that hold the patient's history are gone forever.

This little guy was most curious about the sudden appearance of tourists in his village in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Have reprocessed a couple of the images I took on holiday which I rushed over, so apologies to those who have seen them before, but they were annoying me! Have always loved the tin mine engine which are dotted around the cornish landscape, this is one at Minories on Bodmin Moor. Was tempted to put a horn on the wild pony, but that might have been pushing the fantasy look a littel too far!
