A lonely lantern in an empty room to whom does it shine, where does it send its light in the dark night?
Eine einsame Laterne in einem leeren Raum wem leuchtet sie, wohin sendet sie in der dunklen Nacht ihr Licht?
Une lanterne solitaire dans une pièce vide à qui brille-t-elle, où envoie-t-elle sa lumière dans la nuit noire?
Una linterna solitaria en una habitación vacía a quien brilla, ¿a dónde envía su luz en la noche oscura?
Uma lanterna solitária em uma sala vazia para quem ela brilha, para onde ela envia sua luz na noite escura?
Una lanterna solitaria in una stanza vuota a chi brilla, dove manda la sua luce nella notte oscura?
Een eenzame lantaarn in een lege ruimte naar wie schijnt hij, waar zendt hij zijn licht in de donkere nacht?
En ensam lyktor i ett tomt rum till vem lyser det, var sänder det sitt ljus i mörk natt?
En ensom lanterne i et tomt rum til hvem skinner det, hvor sender det sit lys i den mørke nat?
Samotna latarnia w pustym pokoju, do kogo świeci, gdzie w ciemną noc wysyła światło?

Last night, it'd stopped raining for the first time in weeks, so me and hubby got to sit sat outside and watch a sunset in our hammocks drinking Rum and Coke, the beautiful bokeh is from my Geraniums and Nasturtiums,
Have a fabulous Friday

Leaning haphazardly against each other, this rock formation towers over the Wadi Rum visitor centre. It proceeds to a gradual peak with the highest pillar at its front. The clear, rounded shapes of the pillars standing side-by-side allowed it to inherit its name. Because of it shapes, this mountain look like many things. A collection of lopsided pillars, a procession of figures fanned out behind their leader, the bulwark of a great ship sailing through an ocean of sand. The modern name is taken from TE Lawrence’s memoir of his time in the desert. Though only five of these pillars are immediately visible, the other two are around the side. It is possible to walk around the formation but the best view is from a distance near the visitor centre. The original Arabic name is Jebel al-Mazmar, which means “The Mountain of the Plague.”
This site is one of the most amazing hiking spots in the area. The trail is one of stark contrasts: on one side, flat sands spread long distances, the very picture of the dry, yellow desert of the imagination in summer. In winter and spring, it is scattered with low grasses and bushes that animals come to graze on. Keep your eyes peeled and you might even spot a camel or two! On the other side, the mountain leaps from the ground in a sheer wall of sandstone and granite. A walk along the base of the rock is done easily at your own pace. Upon approaching the foot of this majestic mountain, tilt your head back and take in the enormity of the pillars. Massive as big-city skyscrapers, these natural formations speak of something ancient. A testament to this place and its withstanding thousands of years of both human and environmental turmoil.

The Rum River that begins from Mille Lacs Lake and runs through Cambridge, Minnesota on its way to Anoka is as low as I have seen it. I took this photo from a spot near the river that is usually under water.
The Rum River is fished for small mouth bass, walleyes, northern pike and rumor has it, an occasional muskie. Fifty miles of the 150 mile length of the river runs through Isanti County including Cambridge.

Wadi Rum (Arabic: وادي رم Wādī Ramm, also Wādī al-Ramm), known also as the Valley of the Moon (Arabic: وادي القمر Wādī al-Qamar), is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan, near the border to Saudi Arabia and about 60 km (37 mi) to the east of the city of Aqaba. With an area of 720 km2 (280 sq mi) it is the largest wadi in Jordan.
Several prehistoric civilizations left petroglyphs, rock inscriptions and ruins in Wadi Rum. Today it is a tourist attraction, offering guided tours, hiking and rock climbing. The Wadi Rum Protected Area has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2011.*
