5am in Gwythian, Cornwall. It's so hard to get up at this hour, but once I get through the initial difficulty of waking up I feel so happy and at peace walking around at sunrise. It feels natural and right to be up then and I think if I actually went to bed at sunset that would be what nature intended! However, I live in London and that's just never going to happen! So it ends up feeling like a funny mix of suffering and joy! It is similar to running for me in that way: A bit painful at first but I end up feeling so alive and connected to the Earth.

The Moyka River is a small river in Russia that encircles the central portion of Saint Petersburg, effectively making it an island. The river, originally known as Mya, derives its name from the Ingrian word for "slush" or "mire". It is 5 kilometres (3 mi) long and 40 metres (130 ft) wide.
The river flows from the Fontanka River near the Summer Garden past the Field of Mars, crosses Nevsky Avenue and the Kryukov Canal before entering the Neva River delta. It is also connected with the Neva by the Swan Canal and the Winter Canal.
In 1711 Peter the Great ordered the consolidation of the banks of the river. After the Kryukov Canal linked it with the Fontanka River four years later, the Moyka became so much clearer that its name was changed from Mya to Moyka, associated with the Russian verb "to wash".
Magnificent 18th-century edifices lining the Moyka quay include the Stroganov Palace, Razumovsky Palace, Yusupov Palace, New Holland Arch, Circular Market, St. Michael's Castle, and the last accommodation and museum of Alexander Pushkin.
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.
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.

Wildflowers (Bell Box)
Inverleigh Dr. and The Queensway
This organic mural transforms a plain rectangular Bell box into a natural scene complete with blooming wildflowers. A soft turquoise meets teal gradient acts as the backdrop for large dark green, heart-shaped leaves. Thin bright yellow grasses and pale blue flowers are layered on top in a very loose, drawing-like style. Painted in the fall, these flowers demonstrate the act of providing seeds and pollen to insects and birds before winter.
Stacey Kinder, the artist who painted this Bell Box, is an artist, ecologist and conservationist from Toronto with a background in Fine Arts and Ecosystem Management. She hopes to share her passion through her artwork and highlight the natural wildlife in Canadian neighbourhoods.
This mural was inspired by the plants that were growing around the box itself. Stacey’s aim was to celebrate the beings that live in the South Etobicoke neighbourhood and their unique individuality. As different as they are, each plant thrives here and co-exists in the same ecosystem - much like us, the plants and animals are connected and dependent on one another. If one component of an ecosystem is missing, the entire network is at risk of poor health and collapse. This really brings home the idea of neighbourhood love.
We visited this extraordinary archaeological site which was once the most northern Roman fortress at the edge of the Roman Empire in Dacia, nowadays Romania. We walked on the Roman road which once connected Porolissum castrum with other Roman cities (Napoca, Apulum, Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa), crossed the Danube at Drobeta and continued all the way to Rome.
See below some details about the site from Wikipedia.
"Porolissum was an ancient Roman city in Dacia. Established as a military camp in 106 during Trajan's Dacian Wars, the city quickly grew through trade with the native Dacians and became the capital of the province Dacia Porolissensis in 124. The site is one of the largest and best-preserved archaeological sites in modern-day Romania, 8 km away from Zalău, Sălaj County.
Even though the city was founded as a military center in the middle of a war, the garrison of Porolissum seems to have lived in peaceful coexistence with their Dacian neighbours - several Dacian villages that were apparently founded after the city of Porolissum have been uncovered by archaeologists on the surrounding hills. There are also some inscriptions mentioning city officials with Romano-Dacian names, indicating close cooperation on a political level.
The excavations by a number of teams are ongoing and have uncovered remnants of both the military installations and the civilian city, including public baths, a customs house, a temple to Liber Pater, an amphitheatre, insula consisting of four buildings and a number of houses. The main gate (Porta Praetoria) of the stone fortress has been rebuilt." (Wikipedia)
The beautiful milky way connected with the waterfalls on earth! Unfortunately, it is a man-made connection because it is a composite image from 2 different shots taken from different time and different locations. After my first visit to this waterfalls knowing the direction will never meet the milky way galactic core, I decided to use one of my old milky way shot and try a composite with these crazy treeline. And quite happy with it! Although it is not actually taken at the spot, I'm quite happy with the result! And I hope you enjoy it!

The bell tower is a beloved piece of architecture on the Furman Univerity's campus in Greenville, SC. The tower was originally connected to a building known as Old Main and is now known as Richard Furman Hall. The tower was desgined by a well known architect from Charleston, Edward C. Jones, who has designed several curches and parts of cemetaries all through out South Carolina. In the early beginnings of Furman Unviversity the tower rang at the end and start of classes and was also used after an athletic victory. During the period of the Civil War the bells were sound after a Confederate Victory. The new Bell tower is currently being used for the same purposes of the original bell Tower. Standing tall on a peninsula in Furman Lake, the landmark tops the beautiful Paris Mountain in the background.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect. ~Chief Seattle
"Connected"
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.
To the good and the wrong.

Yesterday, I realized the trust and connection that a horse and rider must share. To prove my point, I offer this edit.
Thank you in advance for any likes or comments. Peace and blessings.
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.
