A Place To Hide.

From David: Here are a few pix of a nice, snug, hideout, one where you a person can withdraw, yet observe, embrace the peace of the dark, yet still see the light, and one that’s not too hard to get out of when it is time to embrace life again. What a magnificent tree, and a splendid hiding place. I love such places, they have a tangible magic and peace to them. Click for full size!

Crows on the Railing.

From Ice Swimmer: These crows were relatively unconcerned of being photographed. The place is the bridge to the island Seurasaari, home to an open-air museum in which there are traditional wooden buildings transplanted from all over Finland, which would have been demolished otherwise.

Kangaroo Island.

From David, who notes: This is a lighthouse on Kangaroo Island. Other photos show remnants of a machine room and store as well as the jetty where supply ships docked. Goods and people were hauled up via a flying fox. It was a long way from the jetty to the top. The lighthouse is still operational, but like most these days, it is fully automatic.

Kangaroo Island: Remarkable Rocks.

From David, who notes: Here is something different for you, Remarkable Rocks, Kangaroo Island. I included one of C who is 5’ 3” to give a sense of scale. It is a desolate part of the Island, nothing between it an Antarctica. Several people have been swept from the rocks / fallen from the rocks and the photo of the sea will give you an idea of the depth of the fall. Click for full size!

Moody.

From rq: That’s the river Daugava upstream from us, near a historical castle ruin and what used to be a rather sheer cliff into a narrow, shallow river. The hydro dams went up in the 60s and 70s, so most of the river is broad and slow these days. At least, on the surface… Click for full size!
