One sees many of these wind pumps in the Overberg region, between Robertson and Stanford, in the Western Cape. Finding three of them together was a bonus…

Have a great weekend, everyone. 😊

Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, England - Friday October 31st 2008.

Bamburgh Castle is one of England's most famous castles. Built on a basalt outcrop above majestic sand dunes, its ramparts tower over the shifting hues of the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with stunning views of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and the Farne Islands in one direction and the Cheviot Hills in another. It is perhaps the most photographed of England's castles and historic houses and is the likely site of Lancelot's Castle, 'The Joyous Gard'.

An 11th century Norman fortress, Bamburgh feted royal guests and English kings, one of whom - Edward IV - destroyed it in the Wars of the Roses. Lord Armstrong's Late Victorian restoration saved it from ruin, the castle providing a home to the Armstrong family to this day. Today, the life and works of the 1st Lord Armstrong are brought to life in the unique Armstrong Museum and Aviation Artifacts Museum housed in the old laundry building.

A lonesome tree high on a hillside a place to reflect and place to relax

Strung over the city of Leh, these lungta flags follow a sacred color sequence representing the five elements: blue for sky, white for air, red for fire, green for water, and yellow for earth. As the wind tattered the fabric, it is believed to release the printed mantras into the atmosphere. This visual "wind horse" creates a continuous broadcast of spiritual energy, intended to bring balance and protection to the urban valley below.

Policeman's Prayer

.....Author Unknown

When I start my tour of duty God

wherever crime may be,

As I walk the darkened streets alone,

let me be close to Thee.

Please give me understanding

with both the young and old.

Let me listen with attention

until their story's told.

Let me never make a judgement

in a rash or callous way,

but let me hold my patience,

let each man have his say.

Lord, if some dark and dreary night,

I must give up my life.

Lord, with your understanding love,

protect my children and wife.

Last September during my visit to the Tetons in Jackson Hole, WY I wanted to do a few more adventuresome things. So I hiked to the beautiful Delta Lake and I rented a kayak for a couple of days for getting to isolated rarely visited sites on some of the small islands on a number of lakes and this is one of the many shots from that photo adventure.

Even with the winds picking up in the early afternoon, it took some time to clear the smoke from the various burns that were going on....uuugggghhhh !!!
