The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.

And stars again, this time, close to home. The local observatory of Guardamonte, Italy, reserved to me the courtesy to host me for a whole night. Imagine, a whole observatory at my disposal, great, but I preferred to use it as a subject instead to watch the stars. And again, do you want to learn how to do this kind of night photography?

Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.
Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.
Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.
Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.
Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.
Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.
The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.
The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.
Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".
The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.

"When are you planning to settle down?"
"I don't think we really settle down. Isn't it more like moving from one destination to the next? We're always going to fight a change, then embrace a change, then stick with a routine then repeat the cycle."
"You don't want to settle down? Have a forever home?"
"How could I even consider this when the world around me is ever changing? How can you pick a spot and hope that you always roll a 20 so it would never be disturbed? War, terminations, depression, economic crisis, citizenships and what about nature itself, earthquakes, floods..."
"But you can't possible keep moving as you grow older..."
"Why not? Maybe I'd like to retire near the beach for a year then move to the country side in the next year, then up in the mountains a year after that."
"Or why not just spend your days in your furnished apartment watching all the movies you missed, reading all the books you couldn't in your youth, watching your grandkids play with their grandpa computer games or just brush your cats..."
"I could do that too...but I could do plenty. Settling down just seems unlikely when you aren't really sure where you belong."

Bedruthan became a popular destination when Newquay developed as a holiday resort more than 100 years ago. Victorians visiting in their carriages found it a convenient attraction, and the local farmer responded to this interest by providing stalls for the horses on payment of a toll.
The dramatic views rarely fail to provide a breathtaking experience. The geology of the cliffs and stacks themselves is intriguing and it's easy to visit without realising that there's a history of mining in the area dating back to the 19th century.
Carnewas was a hive of industrial activity in the 19th century although not much is known of the mining that took place there. It is supposed that miners tunnelled into the cliffs from the beach in search of iron, copper and lead. Mining stopped many years ago, but the buildings are a reminder of this industry. The National Trust shop was once the count house or mine office and the café was also converted from mine buildings.
Sometime between them falling asleep and Winston sneezing, the two souls were slowly entering another dimension. That place between reality and a dream where anything was possible.
All their dreams, aspirations and hopes appearing around them as their surroundings begin shifting. From plain, worn out and metallic to mossy, flowers and the smell of the wind.
Perhaps if Winston did not sneeze, they would have been sucked into one of their 'adventures'...
P.S. Had the luxury on my 1 day off to have been invited by a ginger for a photo session! We decided to do our own versions and I adore the variety!
hope that everyone's having a great Sunday :))
