Have a whole box of pencils from my late Uncle, he loved to draw and sketch. Also, he used to sharpen pencils with a knive and had a special handle in which he could use the ones that were too short to hold.
No longer a thing these days, when I think of all the pencils offered by the company with the big blue letters and that are taken home then thrown away.

Spotted this big bull elk sitting in the shade on our last drive through the park. Watched him for quite awhile but he never stood up.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by.

When building a castle, access to sufficient water is one of the most important points to consider.
The builders of Ryzmburk Castle in Bohemia certainly took this into account. And so they diverted water from a spring directly into the castle. You can see this access point here. I am quite sure that this spring was one of the main reasons for building the castle in exactly this location.
Even after more than 700 years, the water is still flowing. To me, as a layperson, this looks like good planning.
Wenn man eine Burg baut ist der Zugang zu ausreichend Wasser einer der wichtigsten Punkte, die es zu berücksichtigen gilt.
Das haben natürlich auch die Erbauer der Burg Ryzmburk in Böhmen bedacht. Und so haben sie das Wasser einer Quelle direkt in die Burg umgeleitet. Diesen Zugang seht Ihr hier.
Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass diese Quelle einer der Hauptgründe war, die Burg exakt an dieser Stelle zu bauen.
Auch nach mehr als 700 Jahren fliesst das Wasser noch immer. Das sieht für mich als Laie nach einer guten Planung aus.

The desert journey isn’t about embarking on a long and arduous struggle to find God at the end of the road. Desert spirituality is about looking for God right in the very midst of wrestling with ourselves. God is in the heart of the struggle, and so we are to stay there with the holy presence until the treasure is revealed.
-Desert Fathers and Mothers, annotations by Christine Valters Paintner
If the desert is holy, it is because it is a forgotten place that allows us to remember the sacred. Perhaps that is why every pilgrimage to the desert is a pilgrimage to the self. There is no place to hide and so we are found.

There is a grief that is useful, and there is a grief that is destructive. The first sort consist in weeping over one’s own faults and weeping over the weakness of one’s neighbors, in order not to destroy one’s purpose, and attach oneself to the perfect good. But there is also a grief that comes from the enemy, full of mockery, which some call accidie. This spirit must be cast out, mainly by prayer and psalmody.

What started out as pleasant and leisurely morning stroll in the garden, quickly developed into a perilous and risky outing. Brian soon found himself wishing he had accepted the invitation to go hang-gliding with his friends...

The round tower at Glendalough is considered by many to be one of the most finely constructed and beautiful towers in Ireland. Situated in a thickly forested valley, the 30.48 metre tall tower is built of mica schist with a granite doorway. The conical roof was rebuilt in 1876 using the original stones that were found inside the tower. The round tower is divided internally into 6 storeys by timber floors, connected by ladders. The four storeys above entrance level are each lit by a small window; while the top story has four windows facing the cardinal compass points.
The towers were called “Cloigtheach”, meaning bell tower, suggesting their main use. The towers were sometimes used as a place of refuge for monks when the monastery was under attack. They also served as both as lookout posts and as beacons foe approaching monks and pilgrims.
Glendalough is a beautiful place to visit.
The Glendalough Valley is located in the Wicklow Mountains National Park and has many attractions to entice visitors, from its world famous Monastic Site with Round Tower to its scenic lakes and valleys, as well as a selection of walks and trails in the area including The Wicklow Way.

Chichibu Railway #105 leads a loaded limestone train away from Kagemori bound for the cement plant in Kumagaya. Despite this being only one of three freight moves this day, it was a gorgeous day to shoot some boxcabs.

A series of three rocky points along the Big Sur coast just after sunset. The one actually called Rocky Point is in the distance. The rocks themselves are granodiorite that was created long ago somewhere far south of here and which has since slid north on the Pacific Plate.

Aquilegia (common names: granny's bonnet or columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers. The genus name Aquilegia is derived from the Latin word for eagle (aquila), because the shape of the flower petals, which are said to resemble an eagle's claw. The common name "columbine" comes from the Latin for "dove", due to the resemblance of the inverted flower to five doves clustered together. The Colorado Blue Columbine (A. caerulea) is the official state flower of Colorado. Large numbers of hybrids are available for the garden, since the European A. vulgaris was hybridized with other European and North American varieties. Aquilegia species are very interfertile, and will self-sow. Some varieties are short-lived so are better treated as biennials.
