In 'No-Man's-Land',
the wheels run differently than usual in the world.
Who gets lost here - or who seeks the most extreme adventure
will find things he would never have expected!
[... this is the 'value-free' formulation for this particular experience!]
Dans «No Man's Land»,
les roues ne fonctionnent pas comme d'habitude dans le monde.
Qui se perd ici - ou qui recherche l'aventure la plus extrême
va trouver des choses qu'il n'aurait jamais attendues!
[... c'est la formulation «sans valeur» pour cette expérience particulière!]
In 'No-Man's-Land' laufen die Räder anders als sonst auf der Welt.
Wer sich hierher verirrt - oder das extremste Abenteuer sucht
wird Dinge finden, die er sicher nie erwartet hätte!
[... dies ist die 'wertfreie' Formulierung für diese
besondere Erfahrung!]

An interesting front often makes the mystery of what is hidden behind the door especially fascinating.

I went on in. Where everybody knows your name? They didn't know my name. They told me to GTFO their boat.
Glad I came? Bullsh!t.

The Story of " She Lies" with the Shape of an Iceberg due to the Global Warming ... Archimedes' Principle won't help Rising Seas ...
Monica Bonvicini - "She Lies" ,a symbol of Power & Magnificence in the North.A monumental sculpture,in the fjord in front of the new Opera House in Oslo,built out of stainless steel and glass panels that measure approximately 12 x 17 x 16 m. It is a permanent installation,floating on the water in the fjord on a concrete platform which is 12 metres above the water surface.By turning around its own axis in correspondence to the tides and the wind it offers changing views through the reflections on the mirrored and semitransparent surfaces.
"She Lies" was commissioned by Public Art Norway – KORO,
Norwegian National Opera & Ballet and it represents in a visual striking way the shape of an iceberg,as if one would have, by circumstances due to the Global Warming,ended up in the fjord in front of the Opera House.She Lies is meant to be a monument about change,longing and hope.
* Bonvicini’s sculpture is a three dimensional interpretation of Caspar David Friedrich’s painting "Das Eismeer" 1823-24 (The Sea of Ice )

By far the largest selection of cigarettes i had seen in a while. Found them just outside the main entrance of Lier hospital and found it quite bizarre, in many ways. Looked a bit like soldiers on a battle field.

Lily lying behind a leather club chair looking at me with expectation! The early morning sun makes her long hair glow...she's a Maine Coon.
I went to a woodmill some two years ago and saw a broken mirror lying discarded on the ground. It was in a musty and damp section at the back of a decaying wooden structure choked with planks and pieces of timber. I asked some of the guys there to hold the mirror up to their faces and I took some portrait photos. I finally returned to the sawmill recently (and gave the guys copies of the photos from two years earlier) and I was intrigued to see that the mirror has risen from the ashes and been promoted to pride of place on the wall.
Our ship had an ice strengthened hull, but every now and then I had a little Titanic moment when I saw those massive, sharp icebergs hitting us.

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away
Out in the garden this afternoon. It's always nice when you can have a lie down when taking a photo.
As mentioned in my first upload today, the Stanley Burial Ground opened in 1827 and its last burial was in 1997. It's such a beautiful location and catches the evening sun. You can hear a brief historical account in this audio tour:

There is a long tradition of people collecting epitaphs. This article I find fascinating because it describes the grave of one of my favourite poets, John Keats. Keats was buried in Italy just six years before the first burial here at Stanley. On his gravestone we read these words (you can read it in full on the link):
"Here lies one whose name was writ in water."
www.theparisreview.org/blog/2016/02/23/writ-in-water/
There is also a wonderful epitaph written by Robbie Burns for a friend:
"An honest man here lies at rest,
As e’er God with His image blest:
The friend of man, the friend of truth;
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,
Few heads with knowledge so inform’d:
If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this."
Of course there are some funny ones too: www.et.byu.edu/~tom/jokes/Funny_Epitaphs.html
Here are two of my favourites:
"A lawyer's epitaph in England:
Sir John Strange
Here lies an honest lawyer,
And that is Strange."
"Someone determined to be anonymous in Stowe, Vermont:
I was somebody.
Who, is no business
Of yours."
Na Clachan Bhreige Stone Circle, or stone circle of lies! The usual myth that these are people turned to stone applies to this circle. Further north and the legend would replace people with trolls!
This is from Sundays trip with SkyeWeasel and David McHutchison. Compare the three approaches as we all do things a little differently.
