Rock Pool Valley, Nurpur/Sara Pass, Margalla Hills, Islamabad, Pakistan
#RockPoolValley lies in the #MargallaHills, right next to #Islamabad, behind the village of Nurpur Shahan. I recorded the elevation from the village of Loi Dandi at 651 m to the first 50-feet waterfall at 840 m through the narrow corridor of the valley. After a 35-minute walk into the creek-bed, there are several rock pools that further open the view to #BarootiSpring with its emerald waters. Since there is no village or habitat along this stream, the water is very clean and refreshing - but full of tadpoles at the rock pools. The walk from the base of the Rock Pool Valley to the first waterfall is 3 km.

According to legend, the pool is inhabited by a beautiful mermaid who can be seen if you look into the water at sunrise on Easter Sunday. If she looks upon you fondly then she will grant you the gift of immortality.
Marino Rocks, South Australia
Yesterday afternoon was yet another beautiful afternoon. Drove down to Merino for sunset while watching the tide come in over the rocks. Found a small island to sit and wait for sunset - note to self : watch tide coming in behind rock islands next time.

eventually, they darken. they slip beneath the blackened surface, settle in a perfect silence to the bottom and dissolution
I read something once about being a pool of peace and this leaf brought the memory back to me. It was raining and the wind was blowing hard as I took this image. I noticed that as the wind subsided, the ripples would settle in the leaf. Some days feel that way to me. Out of the blue a wind of anger or sadness might blow over my life but I know the storm will pass. The peace that follows a storm is always a welcome friend.
