This Reflexology Path was shot at the Singapore Botanic Gardens with a Sony NEX-5. You are supposed to walk bare-footed on this path and it is supposed to improve your health in what is known in ancient Chinese as Foot Reflexology.
Odd sequencing of yesterday's storm, with hours of snow that ended as heavy rain followed by a quick freeze, produced this result. Anything that had been plowed is dry and clear, while anything that wasn't ended up rock solid.
---- Inside church of S. Peter: devotees are ready for the procession, outside the church is already dark -------------------------------------------------

Fiumedinisi (ME), eve of the Feast of Our Lady of the Annunciation, 2013: this is a "penitential procession" understood as "the Travels" (or also commonly called "procession of kneeling"), in which the faithful, almost all women, proceeding on their knees, sometimes even barefoot, along a narrow street, about 800 meters long, almost always dark, lit only in some places, especially illuminated by the dim light from robust candles, also used as support from every penitent; the procession starts inside the church of S. Peter, to continue until the stairway in front of the Cathedral (which is also a Marian Shrine), who once traveled, still on their knees, will bring every penitent devout inside the Sanctuary, always proceeding on their knees, in front of the statues of Our Lady and Angel Gabriel, placed one in front of the other, at the foot of the main altar ....
I took the shortcut through the woods today.
It was cold and there was a layer of ice underneath every inch of snow. I had my cleat-soled overboots on, knowing that the way would be slippery. I went out walking because I could and it's been too dang long since I took a walk outdoors. This winter has been a doozy.
Last night, I noted that the weather forecast for the rest of the week would not be good for a trek outdoors. Today, it may have been in the single digits for temperature, but there was no wind. That's a first for quite a while. The winds have been terrible this season. So, I figured I could handle the cold, and I did. I still haven't found a good pair of gloves that keep my hands warm.
Taking this short cut has me on a very narrow path that borders a drainage ditch. If I fell, it would be about a four foot drop. With my ice-cleats on, and my trekking poles in hand, I felt confident that I could traverse without a fall. Seeing all the boot-prints of those who passed before me also was a good sign. I made it, and was soon back in my warm car.
It was a good day for a walk.
It sure looks cold with the storm clouds above,
And the path is slippery, do not push and shove.
But this was a warm summer Cronulla morning,
And the path was slippery, you could fall without warning!
