And then after completing the Balconies Cliff trail, I hopped, skipped and jumped back down to the river and went back through the caves.
The caves are talus caves- caves formed by rock boulders. There were moments of pitch black and I needed my torch/flashlight. Moments too of scrambling up and down river-smoothed (and slippery) boulders. And moments of squeezing through gaps just hoping I don't get stuck. Sometimes, all three moments coincided. Leading to a heart-pounding adventure. Especially when the path forward wasn't clear.
I often think, when doing a trail like this, that I would make a dreadful PC in real life. Next time the GM comments that no we can't cover 50 miles a day whilst spelunking, I ought to accept this as truth.
Anyway, this is the end of the caves as heading east. The light at the end of the tunnel was a relief to see.
I took this photo through the windshield of my husbands truck while he was driving through a tunnel. The overhead lights remind me of a roll of film that it unwinding.
I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.

Been a tough couple of days ... a friend who was in a horrible accident on his way to Denver in October passed away on Christmas eve after a lot of suffering ... his memorial was yesterday. Sometimes it's just a little bit harder than others to remember that there is ALWAYS light at the end of the dark tunnel.
Dedicated to Lawrence and his family.

... at the end of the (proverbial) tunnel ... can we always find it?

... perhaps somewhat uncharacteristic, but I like to experiment, and then there are days when an image just resonates

The top part of a bottle is called the "finish." That's all that is left of this bottle after being rolled by the sea giving it this naturally worn look. A prize for sea glass collectors!

I'm fairly certain that the tarantula that I keep has grown too large for her current tank. Every night she clings to the glass walls and clambers to reach the top, where she uses a blow torch and wire cutters to break through the wire-mesh ceiling. I'm thinking about getting her a hamster ball so she can roam around the house.

In the mid-day August heat (2019) the interior of one of the many open churches provided some welcome shade. Arles, France.
I am back from my vacation. I am super tired. I need to catch up with my sleep. Clubs in Puerto Rico (PR) & South Beach Miami (SB) have a closing time of 4am and 5am which is later than the standard 2am in LA. The electricity of the night and the Latin vibe was just amazing in both places! Puerto Rico was everything I imagined. I can't wait to go back.

I did not use sun block because I thought I did not need it and oh boy, I was so wrong! I have a major sun burn on my back and face. My skin is peeling off and I am in major pain right now. :(

It was on a misty morning in the woods.
Dark, only little light,
Silence, sudden cold and the creaking in the tree canopies.
I'm almost scared to death.
But before the Dementors came,
to suck the last good thought out of me,
I pulled the magic wand out of my Box
and conjured up my Patronus.
My Patronuns is not a white deer like that
from Harry Potter,
mine is Rubeus Hagrid with his lantern.
Zoom in and you'll see it.
Do you believe me ?
Happy Halloween Monday ;-))
Collieston is a small former fishing village on the North Sea coast in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The village lies just north of the Sands of Forvie Special Protection Area, between Cruden Bay and Newburgh. he earliest recorded history of Collieston is of the arrival of St Ternan, a Columban monk on a mission to convert the local picts to Christianity. There is, however, evidence that people lived here during much earlier times. Collieston was established as a fishing village by the 16th century, and it provides the first safe harbour in over fifteen miles of beaches and dunes stretching north from Aberdeen. Fishing for herring, haddock, whiting and cod flourished in the 17th century and 18th century and was the foundation of Collieston's economy. The village became known for 'Collieston Speldings', salted and sun-dried haddock and whiting, a popular delicacy throughout Britain. As drift netting developed during the mid 19th century, the fishing began to decline and the focus of the industry shifted to places like Peterhead because the harbour at Collieston was too small to safely accommodate the larger boats needed. The numerous sea caves in the nearby cliffs, and small coves with shingle beaches provided ideal terrain for smugglers. In the late 18th century it was estimated by the Excise that up to 8000 gallons of foreign spirits were being illegally landed in the area every month. In 1798, the notorious village smuggler, Phillip Kennedy, was killed by a blow from an exciseman's cutlass. His grave and tombstone still stands in the village graveyard. A ship from the Spanish Armada, the Santa Caterina, carrying arms for the Earl of Erroll is said to have sunk just off the rocky point of St Catherine's Dub in 1594. In retaliation for the Earl's involvement in the Catholic plot against him, James VI blew up the Earl's castle which stood on the cliffs, a mile north of Collieston. The Earl went on to rebuild Slains Castle, six miles further up the coast, in 1597. Collieston is now mainly a commuter village serving Aberdeen, and is largely given over to tourists during the summer months. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collieston

I can see light at the end of the tunnel after trying to keep up with my son on a fell walk - Spire Hill, from Jeffrey Hill. (This forest is in the middle of the walk which I found on www.bowlandwalks.co.uk )
We had to take a short cut as John had a train to catch, back to the smoke!

A gorgeous day close to our home. I felt like it was my lucky day because I would have walked miles to get a view of the wonderful running water! Unfortunately, I forgot my tripod...this is the best I could do.
.... but the door is closed ... :-(
Just having fun experimenting with effects in Picasa.

I won't pretend to know what you're thinking
I can't begin to know what you're going through
I won't deny the pain that you're feeling
But I'm gonna try and give a little hope to you
Just remember what I've told you
There's so much you're living for
[Chorus]
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
Shinin' bright at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you
So keep holdin' on
You've got your disappointments and sorrows
You ought to share the weight of that load with me
Then you will find that the light of tomorrow
It brings a new life for your eyes to see
So remember what I've told you
There's so much you're living for
[Chorus]
So keep holdin' on
Keep holding on
[Musical Break]
So remember what I've told you
There's so much you're living for
[Chorus] x2
There's a light at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you
Shinin' bright at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you
So keep holdin' on
Keep holding on
Keep holding on, now.
You've got your disappointments and sorrows
But I'm gonna try and give a little hope to you

I had no idea when I followed my son into this maze that I would end up crawling through this tunnel to try to catch him. I ended up with sore knees but a pretty cool photo!
going underground for Smile on Saturday - theme on January 20th, 2018: "light-opia" :)
This week my colleagues and I had the great opportunity to go underground !
A guided tour to the construction site for the future underground / subway of our city. It still will take a few more years to finish the works ... but I already could imagine the trains travelling through the tube.
It was a really great experience, even though beeing a little bit cold and damp ; )
high ISO and handheld ... so a little bit “blurry“
