I so wanted to go in this barn, could just imagine the rays of sun coming through those little windows. Unfortunately, it might have been neglected, but it wasn't abandoned !

We theorized that we'd investigate every turn-off/hike/view proffered on the road to Hana, and pretty much stuck with that conviction(barring parking impossibilities). The first big hike on Highway 360 is Twin Falls, marked by a popular fruit stand. My wife walked a ways and then returned to car, nursing her swollen foot. I ventured to the falls with camera in tow.
The Grand Canyon. It is one of the few places on earth where peering over the edge of the cliff reveals a view that is more than one mile straight down. What better place to experience the utter bigness of God's Creation -- and your own smallness.
What's that feeling in the pit of your stomach as you stand with your toes at the edge of the cliff? It is equal parts fear and humility. Breathe it in.

You could lay down there and stare at the sky or sea and do nothing else.
I was tempted to photoshop the odd bulb and the two flipped switchs... but this what came out of the camera.
***UPDATE 6/8/13 Dave has been looking for two things. A modest teak table to convert to an expansive work space and a teak credenza right around his sweet spot of sixty inches for a specific space. Mission accomplished twice. Quick and decisive. Thanks.
This screamed "accident waiting to happen". So I waited for it to happen. I stood there thinking about how I would begin the story that I would inevitably tell. "A man was trying to position a window in the frame and he dropped it. Shattered everywhere!" But he didn't drop it. And I had no story.
Instead, I was left with the question "How did he actually install this thing with his hands in that position?" I just don't understand.
couldn't make it to our original hostel (already 10pm) and decided to stay in this hostel on the way
A few degrees warmer and I might of jumped in. There's something about mountain lakes and river pools that pulls me over and causes me to take the plunge. Melakwa Lake, Cascade Mountains, USA
actually i was tempted to change the title from the one above to something like, "don't let mr green in"
this was the enterance of a church in macau, there is this threshold before you step in, it's kind of a chinese thing i think, not getting to see or walk straight into the interior space. it's common sense here not to open the door to allow access directly as the outside is a main street and this would keep the interior more intimate, a little cut off from the crowd.

We had a week walking in the Lake District in August. We haven’t spent a week there in the school summer holidays before but it was a case of needs must regarding available holidays. We stayed B&B in Ambleside as we couldn’t get self-catering at short notice. It was cheaper and breakfast is included, the downside is that we couldn’t get out as soon as we would have liked. Saturday – the day we drove up –was forecast to be good but was going to followed by a couple of rainy days so we drove straight to Dunmail Raise, arriving around 11.30. I told Jayne we were nipping up Seat Sandal but once up there it would have been silly not to go up Dollywagon and Nethermost Pikes, and then of course Helvellyn was only a stride away. We didn’t linger long in the crowds on Helvellyn, we had a knee jarring rapid descent to Steel End. We managed to get to Brysons tearooms in Keswick for afternoon apple pie- you’ve got to keep it civilised!
The weather alternated between very wet and very nice, it was like winter on three days so we stayed low and just did half day eight milers – in waterproofs. We got soaked through. On the other days we walked in shorts and tee shirts and went high. The weather was variable depending where in the Lakes you were which made choosing a walk difficult. We went to Crummock Water and parked near Rannerdale Knotts with the intention of doing a walk we’ve done several times before. Straight up the nose of Rannerdale Knotts, with a view that gets better all the time, along the top to the foot of the slog up Whiteless Pike and Wandope. The weather was good for walking, although we had very light rain initially and it was cool for August. On to Grasmoor and then Coledale Hause, over Sand Hill and Hopegill Head. The ridge walk along Whiteside has to be one of the nicest ways to head off the fells. Ten and a half miles and 4000 feet of ascent, it was a decent day out.
The following day was beautiful so we got out as early as possible and headed up Langdale to Old Dungeon Ghyll. The car park was filling with groups getting ready for a fine day on the fells after so much bad weather. We headed up The Band, picking the climbers traverse under the cliffs of Bow Fell up as I wanted to get to the top via the Great Slab. This is a great way to the top of Bow Fell, far more interesting than the main drag. The itinerary after this was, Esk Pike, Great End – at the end of the Sca Fell Massif, it was tempting to leg it out to Sca Fell Pike but it looked like a football match it was that crowded. Back to Esk Hause up on to Allen Crags, back to Esk Hause again, Angle Tarn and our final top was Rossett Pike with its stunning views over Langdale. Down Rossett Gill to Mickleden. Just over 12 miles and 4250 feet of ascent, another cracking day.
Thursday was our last forecast dry day and the day of the Rydal show. The weather was fantastic but it was going to be bedlam on the roads. We walked out of Ambleside to Rydal and cracked of around the Fairfield Horseshoe. It was that calm that people were sunbathing on the tops by midday. Calmness was one welcome feature of the week but when the rain came it didn’t shift so quick. The following day we did a circuit of Buttermere in the pouring rain, it was just a case of walking the cooked breakfast off really.

This sunset was one of the most brilliant. That there is Niagara River right before it flows into Lake Ontario. The other side is Canada. Never had seen the sky in such a beautiful shade! I'm tempted to say its the amazon:)
