Blue for you - Me 2023
You feel like
like a small ship on the high seas
rocked
shaken
lonely
helpless
but the small light in the darkness
is the signpost of hope
and you defy the waves
the wind in the storm
and hold your oar firmly in your hand
(e.k.mai 2023)
Smile on Saturday!:-)
We seek them here,
We seek them there,
We dream of footwear everywhere

... der besonderen Art gab es auf der Rax in Niederösterreich 😊
... of a special kind, seen at the Rax in Lower Austria 😊
I was delighted to find two signposts that had been yarn bombed down a little side street in the city yesterday. Here is a view of just one taken from across the other side of the street.
Meet the lone tree and turn your back to the sun. The place you are looking for is hidden in the gully.
Polaroid SX-70 & TZ. It's RoidWeek.
The garden looks like bomb has hit it! That'll be the start off winter then...
The post was a gift from my sister - she got all branches of her family and of my family, to make a board - such a lovely thoughtful gift!!

Thanks to everyone for your comments and favs much appreciated.
Gluggafoss. Wikipedia says, "Gluggafoss is a waterfall in southern Iceland, specifically in the Fljótshlíð area. As the most prominent member of a series of waterfalls running from the river Merkjá, it is also known as Merkjárfoss; both names are acknowledged on an on-site signpost. The waterfall is accessible off Route 261, some 17.3 km from the closest major town, Hvolsvöllur, population 900 (which in turn is 106 km east of Reykjavík).
Gluggafoss has a total height of approximately 52 m and features two main drops: one for 44 m into a narrow recess, then another for a further 8.5 m (in three main channels). The cliff supporting Gluggafoss has an upper palagonite (or tuff rock) portion and a lower basalt portion. Distinctive of Gluggafoss' geology are the holes and tunnels formed by the river through the soft palagonite. Known in Icelandic as gluggar, or 'windows', these holes allow observers at the base of the waterfall to see partly obscured water flow. According to the on-site signpost, the upper half of the waterfall could be seen only through three such vertically arranged holes prior to 1947. Hekla, due roughly 30 km north-northeast, erupted in that year, filling the river Merkjá and the tunnels of Gluggafoss with volcanic ash; this severely diminished the waterfall's exterior visibility for decades. By the present day, however, erosion has undone the blockages".
When it is snowy and cold in Iceland, the habitual wind blows the spray onto the snow all around the waterfalls, turning it into ice making it almost impossible to get close unless you have proper crampons on. Our Yaktraks were very useful in general in a snowy Iceland but you wouldn't trust them on sloped ice like you found up the side of waterfalls. We gingerly made it under one side of the waterfall, amongst the icicles, with the full force of the water plummeting from above and splashing down in a thunderous roar right near us.
