Feeling is deep and still; and the word that floats on the surface Is as the tossing buoy, that betrays where the anchor is hidden.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Early summer light washes over the quiet docks of Donsö, where fishing boats and skiffs rest in mirrored waters. Wildflowers frame the path, and the salty breeze carries the promise of new adventures just beyond the horizon. This serene corner of Sweden's southern archipelago invites you to pause, breathe, and savor the peaceful rhythm of island life...
Every visit, fave, and comment inspires me to keep capturing these moments. I'm deeply grateful for your presence here...

The ancient live oaks of Fort Frederica stand in place like anchored giants. Anchored by large thick snaking vines. These vines grow from the ground, wrapping the oak trunks, working their way into the tree top canopies and then dropping back down to the ground. The Spanish moss drapes along these vines like curtains blanketing out the light. A burden for nature's ancient sentinels.
An anchor not only holds the ship in place because it anchors itself to the seabed. The anchor chain must be long enough to hold the ship by the weight of the chain.
Ein Anker hält das Schiff nicht nur fest, weil er sich im Meeresboden verankert. Die Ankerkette muss so lang gesteckt werden, dass das Schiff durch das Gewicht der Kette gehalten wird.
The port side anchor of the chemical tanker Cape Daly, spotted at Bolivar Roads off the coast of Galveston, Texas.
Out shooting for my Stuff in the Sand collection at Pescadero State Beach, I came across a rock with a kelp stalk anchored to it among the rocks. Looks like it didn't anchor very well.
It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled seas of thought.
John Kenneth Galbraith
John Kenneth Galbraith (1908–2006), also known as Ken Galbraith, was a Canadian-born economist, public official, and diplomat, and a leading proponent of 20th-century American liberalism. His books on economic topics were bestsellers from the 1950s through the 2000s, during which time Galbraith fulfilled the role of public intellectual. As an economist, he leaned toward post-Keynesian economics from an institutionalist perspective. Source Wikipedia.
