These sea stacks have been named Flowerpots because of their shape and the trees growing at the top. They are found on Flowerpot Island in Georgian Bay in northern Ontario. You can get there only by boat but it's worth the trip to see the incredible beaches, rare orchids, and sea stacks.
Tom Thumb stealing the Seven-league boots of the Ogre. Tom Thumb in the Efteling is based on one of the eight fairytales published by Charles Perrault "Le petit Poucet" in "Histoires ou contes du temps passé" in 1697. The scene, designed as "Klein Duimpje", is since 1998 in the Fairytale Forest. Tom Thumb is stealing the Seven-league boots of the sleeping ogre. To call Tom Thumb, you have to call his name in a hole of a wooden log.
Seven-league boots are an element in European folklore. The boots allow the person wearing them to take strides of seven leagues per step, resulting in great speed..

Settling down in my smoking jacket to read my first edition of Richard Halliburton's "Seven League Boots" with a vodka and grape Crush, because I ain't half as sophistimacated as a feller who reads old books oughta be.
While this shows off the books and artifacts better, the square one is the better shot.

Now at my Dawanda-Shop (for more information look at my profil)
T-Bag/C-Bag combo. This was a 20 mile test ride with a total baggage weight of 27 pounds, including tent, miscellaneous gear and two full water bottles. The T-bag is mounted up front on the carrier block and has a 31 L capacity. Normally I use the C-bag up front. Here it's attached to a Brooks B-17 using two leather straps from a Carradice saddle bag. I got the idea here:

Originally I had considered using the old Carradice Nelson Longflap saddlebag which hasn't seen any real action since PBP 2007. The Nelson LF has only 18 L capacity. The C-bag has 25 L capacity. Ankle clearance is a potential problem with a seat mounted C-bag but here the problem is mitigated by using the Brompton cover/bag as a spacer between the seat-post and the C-bag. It worked surprisingly well on the 20 mile test ride. Also shown in the photo is an elastic cord guy-line which is attached between the C-bag and the rear fender. There's barely any tension on the line but it's enough to dampen swaying of the rear bag. The elastic cord came from a box of See's Candies (assorted chocolate truffles).
The bike handled well on the test ride despite the 27 pound load. For an actual tour the load might increase to 30 pounds, with 20 pounds up front 10 pounds in back. I like the idea that this setup doesn't alter the quick fold functionality of the bike. I also like the option of using only the C-bag up front when exploring from a base camp on day rides.

Don't let suspicious looks from your superiors stop you from trying out your new seven league boots.

Am I the ogre from whom the boots are stolen, or am I the hero who steals them?
Do we write our own stories?

This shot better shows off the smoking jacket, but I you can't see allthe cool knicknacks on the side table... plus I got interested in the prose and I started reading before the shutter went off.
