I really miss Florida weather! :)
i'll be visiting today the places where I took my autumn shots. A little bit late for my winter shots :)
Have a Great Weekend!
The full quote from the Roman poet Virgil's Eclogues X, 69 dated to 38 BCE is 'omnia vincit amor et nos cedars amori' or 'love conquers all; let us too, yield to love!' A passionate declaration that speaks to us across the centuries and is sure to inspire the adventurous.
As a German, I'm not used to such memorials for the victorious soldiers of wars past. Obviously, the Brits have another history.
“Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.
Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.”
― Mike Norton

The Dymocks Building. Built in 1928.
The Palazzo architectural style.
428 George Street.
The City of Sydney.
The Dymocks Building, aka 'The Block', was conceived by architect F.H.B. Wilton in the 'Interwar Commercial Palazzo Style'. It was to house the 'less elite' or 'bazaar' style of retailing, with specialty businesses offering a wide range of more unusual goods and services. At street-level it was the home for the bookshop which has developed into the iconic modern Dymocks Bookstore, Sydney's premier bookstore. See:

Encountered by me today, Monday 5th June, 2023, when I visited Dymocks Bookstore in George Street, Sydney.

Picking up speed, Amtrak's California Zephyr has just emerged from a nine degree, 30 mph curve, approaching the west switch Gilluly with 14 cars on a sunny but frigid Dec. 10, 1994 morning in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. This is one of the few photos I have of an F40PH locomotive equipped with ditch lights.
Someone once told me always live for the little things in life.
Live for 5 am sunrise and 5 pm sunsets
where you’ll see the colours in the sky
that don’t usually belong.
Live for the road trips and bike rides
with music in your ears and
the wind in your hair.
Live for the day when you’re surrounded
by your favourite people who make you realise
that the world is not a
cold harsh place.
Live for the little things because
they will make you realise that this is what life is about
this is what means to be
alive.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”―Haruki Murakami

Timmy der Eroberer sitzt gerne auf dem Baldrian-Topf
Happy Caturday 27.2.2021 "Purrsonality"
This week I had to take Timmy to the vet again because he was injured in one ear and smelled bad from this ear. It was one of his regular fight injuries, which had become infected. He got an antibiotic shot and I got a bottle of iodine solution.
Amazingly, he let me rub his ear with an iodine cloth two or three times a day. He probably knows that I am helping him. However, he loves it already longer, if I rub with my nose in his ear :-)))
I also found white fur under his claws - so his fight with Sammy was probably a draw ;-) I hope the two of them will stay out of each other's way for a while.
The two rascals often fight at the border of their territories - the creek. Three times in the distance of about six weeks they both landed in the brook. I then always need 4-5 towels to get him halfway dry. Then he gets grounded until he is completely dry and also to cool down.
Life as a daddy of a conqueror is not boring and not cheep! This time: 111.14€ :-)
Diese Woche musste ich mit Timmy mal wieder zum Tierarzt, weil er an einem Ohr verletzt war und aus diesem Ohr schlecht roch. Es war eine seiner regelmäßigen Kampf-Verletzungen, die sich entzündet hatte. Er bekam eine Antibiotikum-Spritze und ich ein Fläschen Jod-Lösung.
Erstaunlich: er läßt mich sein Ohr mit einem Jod-Läppchen abreiben. Er weiß wohl, dass ich ihm helfe. Allerdings liebt er es ja schon länger, wenn ich mit meiner Nase in seinem Ohr reibe :-)))
Ich fand unter seinen Krallen auch weißes Fell - sein Kampf mit Sammy war also wohl ein Unentschieden ;-) Ich hoffe, die beiden gehen sich jetzt mal eine zeitlang aus dem Weg.
Die beiden Schlawiner kämpfen ja oft an der Grenze - dem Bach. Dreimal im Abstand von etwa sechs Wochen sind sie dabei beide im Bach gelandet. Ich brauche dann immer 4-5 Handtücher um ihn halbwegs trocken zu bekommen. Dann bekommt er Hausarrest, bis er ganz trocken ist und auch um sich abzuregen.
Das Leben als Daddy eines Eroberes ist nicht langweilig und nicht billig! Diesmal waren es 111,14€, allerdings mit einer Wurmkur :-)
Wow, what a challenge! I just conquered a fast-moving stream by rock-hopping – talk about an adrenaline rush! Luckily, the rope helped keep everyone balanced.
After pushing through those trees, I finally emerged onto a stunning black rock beach at Lake Nordenskjöld. The water was glacial and crystal-clear, but swimming is a no-go in the park. Still, it was breathtaking – and there were even some brave souls sunbathing on the rocks!
Feeling energized, I checked my altimeter – 70 meters (230 feet) above sea level! My destination for the night, Mountain Hostel Francés, sits another 50 meters (164 feet) higher at 120 meters (394 feet). Relief washed over me – those 17 kilometers (10,56 miles) seemed much shorter now!
While hiking on the beach, I thought I was about to score some delicious Pisco Sours – I was practically celebrating already! But then I checked my map, and my heart sank. It showed a crazy distance – 3,200 kilometers (1,988 miles) or 1.5 hours left! Yikes! Thankfully, it was just a misplaced decimal point, not the end of my happy hour dreams. Phew! Back on the trail, and definitely keeping a closer eye on that map from now on! ️
Now, here I am at the base of the incredible Cuernos del Paine with the even grander Paine Grande in the distance – the park's highest peak! Between them lies the majestic Francés Valley, my reward for conquering tomorrow's hike on day three of the W Trail. My hostel is nestled between these two giants, right on another beach.
Time to ditch the complaining and embrace the adventure – climbs, descents, and epic scenery await! Here's to unplugging and soaking it all in.
