Jerusalem – the old market square and views over the city

We walked through the city towards the Wailing Wall.

Vigo – Spain – up the hill to the Old Fort with its views over the bay!

I like old things; I like views, art, scenery, wildlife and taking photos.

It was quite a climb up the hill to the top. Views were spectacular. It has always perplexed me as to how much energy we humans put into war, fortresses, castles and defences. We’re very violent, greedy and selfish. As a species I don’t think we’re very nice. Yet …………… we are capable of love and brilliance!!

Australia – Townsville – before the hurricane – photos

We drove up to the heights to get a good view over the area and out to Magnetic island.

Back down at the bottom we walked through the botanic gardens to see some of the bird life (botanic gardens are a great place for wildlife) and incredible plants.

Then w had a walk along th front and had a beer.

A while later the whole place was flattened by a hurricane.

Portuguese countryside – Rocks, Bulls and storms.

We were clambering around the rocks in the hills outside Braga, a storm was coming on the horizon, heavy clouds were gathering. A huge bull came around the rocks and started bellowing at us.

Fearlessly…………………

We retreated very fast.

Yorkshire Dales. Up the first mountain!

The trouble with mountains is that the top is never the top. You set your sights and pound away up the track only to find there’s another peak beyond that one. It wasn’t the top. Then there’s another and another. But the views are worth it. You earn the pleasure.

Yet more views from the heights of Opher’s World – Rockin’ the Establishment!

Life is discovery and wonder, sharing and love.

Long live non-violent conflict and debate! Long live passion and wonder! Long live dance, music, art, theatre, poetry, prose and all forms of human creativity!

Thank you all my heroes! You helped open my eyes more fully, understand my own mind and filled my world with hope!

It’s not just what you do it’s what you stand for!

Fight for what you believe with passion not violence.

Be prepared to take some heavy blows!!
