The Little Miami River flows between high limestone walls in the Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve in Ohio, USA.
"The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day
runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures.
It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth
in numberless blades of grass
and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers.
It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth
and of death, in ebb and in flow.
I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life.
And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment."
Rabindranath Tagore
The traditional string instruments of Mongolia, massed on the steps of the parliament building. They played a piece in which the tempo steadily increased, finishing in near frenzy. Fantastic.
After detouring through one of the wildwood trails I came across this small wooden bridge going over this beautiful secluded stream, I sat there for a while undisturbed and took photos of the scenery
The long-gone famous Adhari Spring stream during Jacques Cartier's sightseeing of the area on Saturday, the 18th of March, 1912.
In my holiday in Ireland I was very keen to test out my dark filter and get some long exposure shots which otherwise would have been impossible to get.
However in looking hard for opportunities I sometimes overlooked the simple things staring me in the face.
This was a case in point, just a simple picture of a simple stream abundant with colour and poise.
This week I've started reading up on the ancient-Greek philosopher Socrates. He died in 399BC aged about 71, coincidentally the same age as myself. So far I've learned neither of us feared death, even though in our younger years we'd both experienced active military service. We'd also both realised early in life the importance of maintaining moral virtues to protect our own mental heath and spirituality. There were also other things in common. We and our fathers had all dabbled with stonemasonry. I like that bit. Furthermore, Socrates and I each grew full beards and preferred to go bare footed whenever possible. Unfortunately we were both considered to have grown uglier as we aged. Unlike me, Socrates wasn't a writer, his wisdom is dependent on the veracity of secondary sources such as Plato, Xenophon and Wikipedia, all of which I intend to delve into for a while. I also own a weighty copy of the 800 page Oxford history of the classical world.

For no particular reason other than it being almost the end of the year, I was wondering last night what I had been writing about on this date in the three earliest years of Fremantlebiz. In those days I didn't have a digital camera, so more words were the thing. Much more than what I write now. I used to write quite provocatively about all manner of serious subjects, some of which can easily read by clicking the links below for the three 28 Decembers of 2004, 2005 and 2006:

We would have loved to have gone on this train but John didn't think we had enough time as we were getting the bus back to Adelaide in the afternoon and there was only one bus running that day. But we would have had time!
Victor Harbor August 31, 2013, Australia.
The Cockle Train travels along the oldest steel railed railway in Australia dating back to 1887 when it was constructed to provide a link between the River Murray and the ocean wharfs at Pt Elliot and later at Victor Harbor.
After leaving Port Elliot the train climbs to the top of the coastal cliffs and passengers then experiemce some of the most picturesque coastal scenery on the Fleurieu Peninsula, with nothing separating you from the beach below and a perfect view of the Southern Ocean - in winter the home of Southern Right Whale.
After a 30 minute journey the train edges into Victor Harbor station, right in the centre of the town and surrounded with its iconic pine trees. Here, the locomotive is detached from the carriages and turned on our specially retained 30m long electric turntable before rejoining the carriages for the return journey to Goolwa.

Why is this icon journey called the "Cockle Train"? In early days of settlement the local residents would take a horse drawn train to Goolwa to collect Cockles from the sandy beaches near the Murray mouth. It was a great day's outing and thus gained its name.
