Iceland Is Green. Greenland Is Ice The Vikings sent word back to Norway that their island was actually an ice-land, but that another island — more distant, larger and indeed covered by ice — was inhabitable green-land. It won't rain today... but it might snow Part Hawaii and part Alaska, the landscape is an amalgam of both: lava rocks and the black sandy beaches of Kona, the bedrock and glacier waters of Juneau and the annual rainfall and percipitation of Ketchikan. The Vikings were fierce people to venture out into these lands. We may never know exactly why they sailed here but we know how they did it. The had help in the form of a stone known as The Viking Compass.When Leif Eriksson ventured far out into the Atlantic, away from any coastline that could help them determine their position, they had a secret gem weapon: the Ocean Sapphire, aka, Iolite. The Viking Mariners used thin pieces of it as the world's first polarized sun glasses! Crystal Magic Power. As...

California Years / Santa Monica / Pacific Landfall Harbor Without Moorings A Zen sailor comes ashore in Santa Monica and discovers that dry land moves too—only the currents are traffic, ambition, memory, and the difficult art of staying put. See Video The pier was a gangway that went nowhere. The ocean kept moving. I was the thing expected to stop. Landfall 01 California arrived as light before it became a place. 34° 01′ N / 118° 29′ W After years of measuring life in ports, gangways, watches, and departures, Santa Monica felt like an island that had forgotten to detach from the continent. The Pacific was there, performing its ancient work. Behind it, Los Angeles accelerated in every direction. The sailor in me trusted the water. Water announces its intentions. It darkens. It rises. It changes pitch against the hull. Dry land is more deceptive. A road looks still while carrying a current. A building appears perman...

I Love Ewe Today, in England, our house is surrounded by the familiar green pastures and yellow fields we have come to adore.  Mother Nature has truly put the awe in awesome. Watching the west wind moving over the fields is like seeing waves on an ocean of emerlds and gold--- a sea of thoughts leads back to Stings lyrics.  Father Time makes promises to us and bonds strengthened by the cycles of the seasons. This perfect symmetry is summed up by Albert Camus-“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.” and so the invisible has becomes visible today.

Cádiz  the  ancient port city in the Andalucia region of southwestern Spain is still new. ...I always wonder why birds choose to stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth, then I ask myself the same question unless I am in Spain because Spain is like a hundred countries in one. 

Civitavecchia is a coastal town northwest of Rome, in Italy. Built in the 2nd century, the Port of Civitavecchia still retains some of its original features, like the Roman Dock. The port is the quickest route to Rome, which we opted out this time due to a Cinderella liberty of 5pm. We instead headed out to Castello Orsini-Odescalchi, a castle in Bracciano, in the Province of Rome, Lazio, Italy. It is located on the southern shore of Lake Bracciano. It was built in the 15th century, and combines the functions of a military defence structure and a civilian residence
