Cologne, Germany, Nippes. Nature elements meets human made elements. Both are so strong.I think nature wins.
you and i we are many and we are few
we come together at times like these
we look up and down and all around
and what do we see
cross roads
we see north south east and west
we are all just trying to do our best
and yet which way will we go
no one knows.
i suggest we stand in the middle
i suggest we look at these cross roads
we are all in the middle of the cross
some will go north, some south, others east and the rest west
but know that whichever way you go your cross is right now
carry it well carry it with bravery carry it fearlessly
why some may say
who are you
i am you, i am us, i am they.
they must know that the cross has been given us as a gift
we opened it at Easter
we looked into it's core and we saw who bore it.
those who carried their cross are giving us a chance
they are examples of our fate
it's not too late.
carry it well and know that the one's who went before us
are cheering us on from the bleachers.
Eye cannot see what I do not want.
I cannot see what eye will not see.
Lord let me see what my eye has seen and I promise to be what I see from Thee.
I think this old houseboat had probably seen happy days once
but looking at the bar across the door it looked abandoned.

Antibes ist eine der ältesten Städte an der Côte d’Azur. Sie ist aus der griechischen Stadt Antipolis (Αντίπολις) entstanden. Die Stadt wurde um 340 v. Chr. von den Griechen gegründet. Antipolis bedeutet „Stadt gegenüber Nikaïa Polis“ (Nizza). Im 4. Jahrhundert vor Christus richteten die Griechen hier eine kleine Handelsstation ein, bestehend aus Warenlagern, von wo aus man außerhalb der Stadtmauer Handel mit den Küstenbewohnern betrieb. Später wurde Antibes von den Römern zu einer bedeutenden Stadt ausgebaut und in der Spätantike auch Bischofssitz. Aus der Römerzeit stammt eine hier aufgefundene Weiheinschrift für den Gott Ollioules.
Im Jahre 1386 fiel Antibes in den Besitz der Grimaldi, die es im 16. Jahrhundert an Frankreich verkauften. Der französische König ließ Antibes zu einer Festung ausbauen, nachdem Nizza im 14. Jahrhundert an Savoyen gefallen war.

AND it smells good too --- fast growing to 5' -- drought resistant -- ok with coastal fog - multi-blooming during year - wispy foliage looks good even without it's colourful display -- what's not to like?
Went out and bought two more this spring.......
