The wide sweep of mountains in the distance, the different shades of green with tiny trails of pathways and the snaking Chamonix valley below make this panoramic scene breathtaking. A sense of freedom and wellbeing sweeps over you as stand and just observe. Nature at its finest.

I managed to get a few images of these three enjoying their surfing experience - went a bit over the top on the edit, however, I wanted to evoke a few emotions through the image - this one is about being quiet/calm before heading to the breaking waves.

People are still wearing masks and following the social distancing protocol in the park. But it is more important to keep healthy by exercising.. and getting some fresh air.

Spring has returned, but this poor Lomo Color 100 roll was struggling to hold it together. Or maybe my developer was struggling. Or a bit of both. We're all struggling right now, trying to hold on, hold it together.

But this rainbow from last September, when the world didn't see so insane, was a little slice of perfection.

I took one day trip after my ill-fated July excursion. I walked along the banks of Crab Creek and then worked my weary way up into the heights above.

It wasn't meant to be a strenuous hike, but I was exhausted most of the time.

Over the winter, I've tried to keep in some sort of shape. I walk about five miles a day and I assume that's helping.

Next weekend will (likely) be my first day of the year back east. I plan on doing a few smaller hikes/walks mostly to keep warm and wear myself out. But I'm excited to get back. I miss the place when I'm away.

I could have decided to go today, but the weather report called for all clear skies. I'll gamble and wait for some clouds next weekend.

No camping yet, though. If I have to, I'm fine with camping in the low 30s, but if I don't have to (and I don't), I'd rather not.

Excerpt from youractionsmatter.ca/regenerate-canada/:

• The degradation and destruction of nature drives both wildlife loss and climate change, making it one of the greatest threats to life on Earth.

• Global wildlife populations have declined by almost 70 per cent on average in the past 50 years alone.

• Our most recent Living Planet Report Canada found that populations of at-risk species in Canada have declined 59 per cent on average since 1970.

• Species in Canada are threatened by multiple, compounding pressures. The main threats are habitat loss and fragmentation, climate change, pollution, invasive species and unsustainable harvest.

• Canada’s Arctic and forests are vital to a healthy planet, with sea ice acting as a climate regulator and forests as carbon sinks.

• NASA has estimated that the polar ice caps are melting by almost 13 per cent every ten years. At this rate the Arctic will have no summer ice left by 2040.

• WWF-Canada’s Carbon Map found that Canada stores hundreds of billions of tonnes of carbon in its landscapes and ecosystems — equivalent to about 25 years of human-caused global greenhouse gas emissions at 2019 emission levels.

• Indigenous peoples have a profound connection to the land and water, one that is deeply intertwined with their economic, cultural and spiritual wellbeing. Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs) have better conservation outcomes than lands protected without Indigenous consent and leadership.

Regenerate Canada is WWF-Canada’s bold 10-year plan to expand habitats, reduce carbon in the atmosphere, lower industrial impacts and, as a result, reverse wildlife loss and fight climate change. Drawing from scientific analysis and Indigenous guidance, all our conservation efforts will drive toward three ambitious goals, designed to get our future back on track:

•Restore at least one million hectares, regenerating lost complex ecosystems that provide essential wildlife habitat and sequester carbon in nature.

•Protect and steward at least 100 million hectares of vital ecosystems for wildlife and communities.

•Reduce carbon emissions by 30 million tonnes by restoring carbon-rich habitats and protecting current carbon stores.

I met this little group in my park the other day. They are part of Wheels for Wellbeing (wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk/) that provides disabled people with mobility; the gent on the left had had a stroke. The young lady allowed me to have a go on hers & it was wonderful! I quite fancy one!

Wohlbefinden / WELLBEING - Massage in a modern way - 😂

as a prerequisite for learning and studying ...

wohlfühlen, als Voraussetzung für Lernen und Studieren ...

The learning center SQUARE is an extension of the campus of the University of St. Gallen (HSG). The university calls the new building an " experimental field " for new formats of learning and teaching, which, when mature, will be integrated into the " normal " HSG education.

Sou Fujimoto Architects, based in Tokyo and Paris, won the architectural competition with its "Open Grid" project. The jury attested it "an excellent interpretation and implementation of the didactic concept". Thanks to numerous major sponsors and donations from HSG alumni, operations could begin in the spring semester of 2022, as planned in the ambitious timetable, after a short construction period of around two years.

The building consists of several cubes arranged in a grid pattern, which range in height from 3.5 to 18.5 meters. Inside, modular building elements that are acoustically and visually connected to each other allow for adaptation to specific didactic needs such as panel discussions, lectures or exams. The new learning center creates space for 500 to 700 learning and workstations.

Das learning center SQUARE ist eine Erweiterung des Campus der Universität St. Gallen (HSG). Die Universität nennt den Neubau ein « Experimentierfeld » für neue Formate des Lernens und Lehrens, die, wenn sie reif sind, in die « normale » HSG-Ausbildung integriert werden.

Das Büro von Sou FujimotoArchitects mit Sitz in Tokyo and Paris konnte sich mit seinem Projekt «Open Grid» (offenes Raster) im Architekturwettbewerb durchsetzen. Die Jury bescheinigte ihm «eine hervorragende Interpretation und Umsetzung des didaktischen Konzeptes». Dank zahlreichen Grossförderern und Spenden von HSG-Alumni konnte der Betrieb, wie im ehrgeizigen Fahrplan vorgesehen, nach einer kurzen, rund zweijährigen Bauzeit im Frühlingssemester 2022 aufgenommen werden.

Das Gebäude besteht aus mehreren rasterförmig angeordneten Würfeln, welche zwischen 3.5 und 18.5 Meter hoch sind. Im Inneren ermöglichen modulare, miteinander akustisch und visuell verbundene Gebäudeelemente eine Anpassung an die jeweiligen didaktischen Bedürfnisse wie Podiumsdiskussionen, Lehrveranstaltungen oder Prüfungen. Das neue Lernzentrum schafft Raum für 500 bis 700 Lern- und Arbeitsplätze.

A free wellbeing support helpline on 0800 069 6222, operated by the Samaritans and available from 7am – 11pm, seven days a week, providing confidential listening from trained professionals. A 24/7 text alternative to the above helpline - NHS staff can simply text FRONTLINE to 85258.

Most of us don't understand the strain Coronavirus has put on the NHS (and health providers world wide), remember the NHS isn't just an organisation its real people. People with all of the normal day to day worries and concerns just like you and me - that have been thrust into the front line were more British people have died than in all of the armed conflicts since word war II added together.

From the Website

The Tower Hamlets Trayned Bandes were, of course, by their nature, a social as well as military organisation. This is also especially true of the re-created regiment, and is reflected in the civilian roles: craftsmen make useful items and repair equipment, musicians entertain us and the public, preachers watch out for our moral wellbeing, servants and clerks bring order to the lives of officers and goodwives and families lend their support and cater to the inner man!

With thanks to Helen. The funniest thing about this shoot. My wife was perched under Helen trying to make sure she felt safe and then a wave came and got her! And she was laughing like an idiot. Earlier, Helen had been right by the water's edge and also got 'got' by a wave, and I also got 'got'. So, we all got 'got'. :) What a lovely day in amongst the middle of this madness.

The theme this year was ' Health and Wellbeing ' which meant all aspects of the pageant in Liverpool City Centre on June 5th was for a much healthier emphasis on lifestyles as hundreds took to the streets for a vibrant and colourful pageant with a difference !

(Still no PC, be using my Lil' Sis's when I visit her every couple of days to either upload or comment, no time for both)

There wasn’t a petrol powered vehicle in sight – everything was to be run by foot, solar, battery or pedal power making this the most environmentally and fitness friendly Lord Mayors Pageant ever !

The parade made its way through the city centre on a loop circuit for about 100mins and the delightful dancers never stopped once despite it being an extremely hot day, a pleasant change to last year when it rained non stop during the pageant !
