Reinebringen was a bit icy so we decided to try Sakrisoy hill. Getting that bit of elevation provides a fantastic vantage point to see how all the islands are connected. This view is looking down on the village of Sakrisoy with Olstind the dominant peak in the background.

The old town, perched on a limestone island, is connected to the new part of the town, on the mainland, by an arched bridge built in the 1900s. Another bridge to the port has recently been added. The walls, bastions, and towers, which originally defended the town from invaders, today protect it from rough seas, while also preserving the charm of days gone by.
Before exploring the narrow paved streets of the historic centre, from where you can catch an occasional glimpse of the sea, stop off at the authentic fish market, held in what used to be the moat of the imposing castle, to vie with the locals for the best of the day's catch. The Angevin fortress, almost completely surrounded by the sea, was recently restored and is now accessible from the old town. Here you can immerse yourself in the history, as you wander through fortified towers, tunnels, corridors, and majestic halls.

Glamis Castle is situated beside the village of Glamis in Angus, Scotland. It is the home of the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and is open to the public.
Glamis Castle has been the home of the Lyon family since the 14th century, though the present building dates largely from the 17th century. Glamis was the childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, wife of George VI. Their second daughter, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, was born there.

Going for a rather tenuous one here for the Macro Mondays theme of 'Connection'
Lasers, the future of the connected world?
In 2013 NASA made a laser connection between Earth and the Moon. It transmitted data 239,000 miles at the rate of 622Mbps!
Big numbers for such a macro image :)
HMM all !
it has become undeniably proven how in many cases we are interconnected by friends, family, acquaintances, etc. I find it hard in fact to find ANYTHING that is not connected to something else in this world of ours. Deep huh, :-)

Seen here in remarkable isolation on the remote Dengie Peninsula on the Essex coast, St Peter-on-the-Wall is widely regarded as one of the oldest surviving churches in England and one of the most important surviving buildings connected with the earliest spread of Christianity in Anglo-Saxon Britain. The chapel was founded around AD 654 by Saint Cedd, a monk from the monastery of Lindisfarne in Northumbria, who had been sent south to convert the pagan East Saxons to Christianity under the patronage of King Sigeberht of Essex.
The location chosen for this early Christian mission was deeply symbolic. The chapel was constructed directly within the remains of Othona, a substantial Roman coastal fort built during the late 3rd century AD, probably around AD 280–300, as part of the Roman Empire’s defensive network known as the Saxon Shore forts. These forts were established to defend the vulnerable eastern and southern coastline of Roman Britain against increasing raids by Germanic seabororne invaders, particularly Saxons and Franks crossing the North Sea. The fort at Othona guarded the approaches to the estuaries of the Blackwater and Colne rivers and would once have housed a Roman garrison protecting this strategically important stretch of coastline.
When Saint Cedd arrived some 350 years later, Roman authority had long since vanished but the surviving stone walls of the abandoned fort provided an ideal place to establish one of the earliest Christian communities in southern England. Builders reused Roman bricks, tiles and stone from the ruined fort itself, creating the chapel’s strikingly simple appearance and giving rise to its modern name: St Peter-on-the-Wall. It stands as a fascinating physical link between the final years of Roman Britain and the emergence of Christian Anglo-Saxon England.
After serving as a place of worship for centuries, the building gradually lost its ecclesiastical role. By the 17th century, during a period when many older religious buildings fell into disuse, the chapel had been converted into an agricultural barn. Large doorways were cut through its ancient walls to allow the storage of farm equipment and crops, fundamentally altering the original structure. Fortunately, its immense historical importance was recognised in the early 20th century and in 1920 the building underwent careful restoration before being reconsecrated for religious use once again.
Visible near the coastline is the Othona Community, founded in 1946 by Anglican minister Norman Motley. Established in the aftermath of the Second World War, the community was created as a centre for Christian retreat, reconciliation, hospitality and reflection, welcoming people of all faiths and backgrounds. The community remains active today and helps maintain the chapel as a place of worship, pilgrimage and quiet contemplation.
The surrounding landscape is equally significant. The Dengie Peninsula is a low-lying and geologically young coastal landscape formed largely from marine clay, estuarine silts and alluvial deposits laid down over thousands of years by tidal action in the North Sea. The extensive surrounding salt marshes, mudflats and reclaimed grazing marshes are internationally important habitats supporting migratory birds and specialised salt-tolerant plant communities. This exposed coastline, shaped continuously by erosion, tides and storm surges, would have looked broadly familiar both to Roman soldiers stationed at Othona nearly 1,700 years ago and to Saint Cedd when Christianity first arrived here almost 1,400 years ago.
Few places in England capture such an extraordinary continuity of history in one small landscape — from Roman military occupation, through the Christianisation of Anglo-Saxon England, centuries of agricultural use, and into the modern era where this isolated chapel still stands as a living monument to nearly two millennia of human history on the Essex coast.

The Legend of Dead Horse Point:
Dead Horse Point is a peninsula of rock atop sheer sandstone cliffs. The peninsula is connected to the mesa by a narrow strip of land called the neck. There are many stories about how this high promontory of land received its name.
According to one legend, around the turn of the century the point was used as a corral for wild mustangs roaming the mesa top. Cowboys rounded up these horses, herded them across the narrow neck of land and onto the point. The neck, which is only 30-yards-wide, was then fenced off with branches and brush. This created a natural corral surrounded by precipitous cliffs straight down on all sides, affording no escape. Cowboys then chose the horses they wanted and let the culls or broomtails go free. One time, for some unknown reason, horses were left corralled on the waterless point where they died of thirst within view of the Colorado River, 2,000 feet below.

Another cyber scene, with a gynoid connected by wire to the WorldWide Web.
A representation of the connection of the contemporary human, to all the data and events of the world.

Forum des Halles was a shopping mall in central Paris ( 1º arrondissement) built largely underground and directly connected to the RER and métro transit system. In the years 2010-2016 Forum des Halles was thoroughly redesigned and transformed into a cultural centre. Most of its old structures were demolished, so the stairs depicted on this photo don´t exist anymore.
