The icy waters of the Sound were slowly receding, softly singing a lullaby as it withdrew, "Return to your warm bed and rest your weary head. Only treachery lies ahead, one false move and you will be dead". I replied, "Thank you Winter waters for your song of concern. I will heed your wisdom". I slipped on my cleats and continued past the rocks still covered in moss and mud.

We have come so far...overcoming feats that were once thought as impossible, yet, we made it possible.
The future is unknown but we must continue on...it will be okay. We'll see....You'll see..
"Let's continue on Scurry..." Sniff whispered.
Feel the fear and do it anyways,
You can move the mountains
Don't even hesitate
I went on in. Where everybody knows your name? They didn't know my name. They told me to GTFO their boat.
Glad I came? Bullsh!t.
Alameda, California.
Glenshee lies just off the A93 road some 20 miles north of Blairgowrie. The resort is titled the 3 valleys of Scotland and when all lifts are open, the ski area really is quite extensive by British standards. Served mainly by drag lifts due to persistently high winds you can ski in relatively remote locations on the slopes of Glas Moal, to the east. The steepest run at Glenshee is probably the west wall on the side of Glas Moal but it is the Tiger Bumps that people seem to remember. This run is served by a Poma Triple, installed in 2015; you have 250metres of vertical descent straight back down. The longest lift served vertical is on Glas Maol, which has 301m of vertical with the highest lift at 1029m. On its day, Glenshee can offer knee deep powder but it is often hard, icy and dogged by chilling winds. Accommodation can be found in Blairgowrie to the south or in Braemar to the North. One final comment; the A93 is known to block very easily and road conditions can be very hazardous so make sure you go prepared with a shovel and some grit!
The Story of " She Lies" with the Shape of an Iceberg due to the Global Warming ... Archimedes' Principle won't help Rising Seas ...
Monica Bonvicini - "She Lies" ,a symbol of Power & Magnificence in the North.A monumental sculpture,in the fjord in front of the new Opera House in Oslo,built out of stainless steel and glass panels that measure approximately 12 x 17 x 16 m. It is a permanent installation,floating on the water in the fjord on a concrete platform which is 12 metres above the water surface.By turning around its own axis in correspondence to the tides and the wind it offers changing views through the reflections on the mirrored and semitransparent surfaces.
"She Lies" was commissioned by Public Art Norway – KORO,
Norwegian National Opera & Ballet and it represents in a visual striking way the shape of an iceberg,as if one would have, by circumstances due to the Global Warming,ended up in the fjord in front of the Opera House.She Lies is meant to be a monument about change,longing and hope.
* Bonvicini’s sculpture is a three dimensional interpretation of Caspar David Friedrich’s painting "Das Eismeer" 1823-24 (The Sea of Ice )

original painting Smiles And Lies by Artist Ruth Hunter; medium: oil and cold wax on panel; artwork size: 12x12" (framed)
Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away
The work is made of styrofoam, stainless steel, reflecting glass panels, and glass splinters and stands on a concrete pontoon that is equipped with an anchoring system. The monumental sculpture (12 x 17 x 16 meters in size) is an interpretation of Caspar David Friedrich’s 1824 painting Das Eismeer. Bonvicini reuses the imagery of the ice masses seen in Friedrich’s painting as a symbolic reference to romanticism and its ideals that established different common and fixed clichés, such as of art and art professionalism, but also of nature and scientific exploration. Reacting to the changing tides, the installation turns around its axis and moves within a range of 50 meters. The mirrors and transparent pieces provide constantly changing reflections. Bonvicini describes the work as “A monument to a state of permanent change.” (Wikipedia)
As mentioned in my first upload today, the Stanley Burial Ground opened in 1827 and its last burial was in 1997. It's such a beautiful location and catches the evening sun. You can hear a brief historical account in this audio tour:

There is a long tradition of people collecting epitaphs. This article I find fascinating because it describes the grave of one of my favourite poets, John Keats. Keats was buried in Italy just six years before the first burial here at Stanley. On his gravestone we read these words (you can read it in full on the link):
"Here lies one whose name was writ in water."
www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/02/23/writ-in-water/
There is also a wonderful epitaph written by Robbie Burns for a friend:
"An honest man here lies at rest,
As e’er God with His image blest:
The friend of man, the friend of truth;
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,
Few heads with knowledge so inform’d:
If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this."
Of course there are some funny ones too: www.et.byu.edu/~tom/jokes/Funny_Epitaphs.html
Here are two of my favourites:
"A lawyer's epitaph in England:
Sir John Strange
Here lies an honest lawyer,
And that is Strange."
"Someone determined to be anonymous in Stowe, Vermont:
I was somebody.
Who, is no business
Of yours."
Na Clachan Bhreige Stone Circle, or stone circle of lies! The usual myth that these are people turned to stone applies to this circle. Further north and the legend would replace people with trolls!
This is from Sundays trip with SkyeWeasel and David McHutchison. Compare the three approaches as we all do things a little differently.
