"The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment."
Rabindranath Tagore
There's a ravine about 2km away from where I grew up, divided by a small stream. As a kid I used to come here with some friends to camp, and it's still to this day one of my favorite places.

This little stream runs along the side of our property. Stu found mint growing wild in the culvert in front of our home!
Chunggye Stream Restoration Project
A full-scale concrete construction to cover the stream began on May 25, 1958 and was completed in December 1961. A width of 16 to 54 m covering starting at Gwanggyo running a length of 2358 m up to Ogansu Bridge near Pyeonghwa Arcade in the central downtown was covered and paved with concrete. The construction cost was 166.1
7 million Hwan, and about 242,000 people were mobilized.
The restoration of Chunggye-chon is not just a part of Seoul’s urban planning. This project has the concerns of the entire nation as a symbolic project that will revive an important part of Korea’s historical and natural heritage at the start of the 21st century. The project is expected to set a new paradigm for urban management in the new century and contribute to renewing the environmentally sound image of Seoul.

Volunteers attend a training and take samples from a stream
A tiny little stream pooled here, but note the small bluffs that this little stream has wrought over the years! I am an absolute sucker for streams with such clear water.
Where is it / I am? // Rapidly pulsating / streams flow overhead / lost in a tree / or disturbed by electrons // is it me? // it feels magnetic / or is it magnificent? // Big protons have hit my battery. // Must get to the orange triangle / for the ultimate answer.
We would have loved to have gone on this train but John didn't think we had enough time as we were getting the bus back to Adelaide in the afternoon and there was only one bus running that day. But we would have had time!
Victor Harbor August 31, 2013, Australia.
The Cockle Train travels along the oldest steel railed railway in Australia dating back to 1887 when it was constructed to provide a link between the River Murray and the ocean wharfs at Pt Elliot and later at Victor Harbor.
After leaving Port Elliot the train climbs to the top of the coastal cliffs and passengers then experiemce some of the most picturesque coastal scenery on the Fleurieu Peninsula, with nothing separating you from the beach below and a perfect view of the Southern Ocean - in winter the home of Southern Right Whale.
After a 30 minute journey the train edges into Victor Harbor station, right in the centre of the town and surrounded with its iconic pine trees. Here, the locomotive is detached from the carriages and turned on our specially retained 30m long electric turntable before rejoining the carriages for the return journey to Goolwa.

Why is this icon journey called the "Cockle Train"? In early days of settlement the local residents would take a horse drawn train to Goolwa to collect Cockles from the sandy beaches near the Murray mouth. It was a great day's outing and thus gained its name.
