Sometimes a little perspective is all that's needed to remember what's important and what we should be putting our energies into.
Happy Sunday my friends!

Thank you all!
Alexandra Bridge, between Ottawa and Gatineau Quebec.The bridge was constructed between 1898 and 1900.
Yesterday I gave you a view looking due south over what I called the "Roof of Tasmania". Well here we are looking north with the sun (just out of shot) getting very low in the north-western sky. The peak dead ahead in the clouds has another Scottish name, Ben Nevis.
There is only one point higher than this in all of Tasmania, the very rugged crags of Mount Ossa (5,305 ft) on the remote Overland Trek from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair. I think it is a fair assumption then, that at this moment I was the highest person in Tasmania. I was most certainly the last person to ascend on this afternoon, because I was at this stage genuinely concerned that I'd get down before dark. [Always carry a flashlight in case.]
From the summit lookout on The Nut at Stanley we get some wonderful views. The day before this scene would have been enveloped in clouds, and the winds would have been horrendous. On this early morning all was calm. We can see over to Highfield House and the old convict ruin, and beyond to Cape Grim.
Highfield House is the property built by convict labour for the Van Diemen's Land Company in 1826 to house their first director Edward Curr. A descendant of Curr still lives in Stanley.

A view worth climbing for, the mountainous area around Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, range after range of mountains, probably rarely visited, wonderful place.

The weather was gorgeous. We had a great time up on the cliffs.
I will never get enough of this place.

View overlooking Eastbourne at low tide, showing The Sugar Loaf (white rock in the foreground), South Cliff Tower to the left, Eastbourne Eye and Eastbourne Pier. In the distance you can see the apartments in the Sovereign Harbour and Hastings coastline in the distance.

Photo op on the top of our condo and seeing this ledge brought on vertigo almost immediately! Too bad it was a hazy morning!
