Northern Lights moments while standing at Koppangen Bay in Northern Norway during low tide. I forgot everything, even where I was standing. A sneaky wave could have carried me away that transfigurated did I feel from the great show in the sky.

“Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Columnar basalt stacks on the Scottish isle of Staffa as seen from above. It is absolutely wonderful what sort of abstract works nature is capable of conjuring up.
The Dahlia is named after the Swedish 18th century botanist Anders Dahl, who originally declared the flower a vegetable, as the tubers are edible.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom (Anais Nin) !!
The scent of the lily of the valley is considered by some to be one of the most attractive of all wildflowers.
The genus has about four hundred species that occur in temperate regions. Most species occur in moist and slightly shaded places. After flowering, the spent flower turns downwards, after ripening the seed box rises again and opens. The dried seed capsule is under tension and when moved, the seeds shoot away. Violets are also used as a base for many perfumes. It even makes candy. Young leaves are edible in boiled form and contain many vitamins. The flowers can be used to decorate meals. Flowers, leaves and roots are also used medicinally !!
"Purple Rain" is a song by the American (sadly deceased) musician Prince and his backing band The Revolution. It is the title track of the 1984 album of the same name, which in turn is the soundtrack album for the 1984 film of the same name starring Prince, and was released as the album's third single. The song is a power ballad that combines rock, R&B, gospel and orchestral music !!
