The navigator of the Nautilus sights the sun to determine latitude. Hand-painted scene on the Jules Verne carousel in Lyon.
It all seems a little hazy... I have everything I could ever want, but these material things are not kind, they don’t fill the void... No matter what I have, no matter how much it costs, when the excitement wears off the gap just seems to be wider, longer, darker and deeper... What was so bright in the beginning begins to swallow this soul whole, and drag me deeper in to the endless darkness of despair... The one thing that eludes those who seem to crave it the most is no where in Sight... Out Of Sight...
This is my small cousin who managed to sit still long for me to take this. I rather like the emptiness of the eyes.
Edinburgh Castle on it's hill with the Princes Street gardens below it - the tour guide told us that the Princes Street Gardens used to be a loch and when it was drained many years ago, at the bottom a number of skeletal remains of women were found. Where did they come from? Well, apparently, they're from the Witch trial times when if a woman was accused of being a witch, her thumbs would be tied to her big toes and she would be thrown into the Loch. If she drowned and sank to the bottom, she would be cleared of being a witch and her family would be apologised to. If she floated and lived, she would be taken up to the castle and burned at the stake for being a witch. No-win situation there!
