Looking for a little "PEACE"...which is sorely needed.

Alla ricerca di un po' di "PACE"...di cui c'è un disperato bisogno.

Auf der Suche nach ein wenig „RUHE“ … den ich dringend brauche.

Alla ricerca di un po' di "PACE"...di cui c'è un disperato bisogno.

From the field below to the horizon beyond, every view invites reflection, every journey unveils a new purpose.

️ Arthur’s Pass: Gateway to the Southern Alps
Arthur’s Pass is a dramatic mountain pass and national park in the South Island of New Zealand, threading through the heart of the Southern Alps. It’s not just a road—it’s a journey through geological grandeur, engineering marvels, and ecological contrasts.
📍 Location & Origins
- Located between Christchurch and the West Coast, Arthur’s Pass connects east to west via State Highway 73.
- The township sits at 740 metres elevation, surrounded by beech forest and the Bealey River.
- Named after Arthur Dudley Dobson, who surveyed the route in 1864 following guidance from Māori hunters.
🌿 Landscape of Two Halves
- Eastern side: Wide, shingle-filled riverbeds and vast beech forests.
- Western side: Dense rainforest and deeply gorged rivers.
- This contrast makes it a surreal blend of serenity and wildness—perfect for your storytelling palette.
🚂 Engineering & Adventure
- The Otira Tunnel, an 8.5 km rail tunnel, is a feat of early 20th-century engineering.
- The TranzAlpine train offers one of the world’s most scenic rail journeys through the pass.
- Devil’s Punchbowl Falls: A one-hour return hike leads to this spectacular waterfall.
Wildlife & Activities
- Spot the cheeky alpine parrot, the kea, known for its intelligence and mischief.
- Hiking, mountaineering, and skiing at Temple Basin are popular pursuits.
- The park’s rugged terrain offers tramps for experienced adventurers, with route-finding and river-crossing skills often required.

Happy National Sunflower Day! This male American Goldfinch getting ready to chow down on one of the sunflowers in my backyard. Central Bucks, PA.

While it is difficult to get a clear shot of our feathered friends in the summer due to the abundant foliage, when you do, it is worth it as you can get sunlit birds and beautiful green background.

The Park Bridge in Antwerp, designed by Ney & Partners, provides a safe connection for pedestrians and cyclists between Park Spoor Noord and the Eilandje. The park bridge is unique. It displays a play of light and shadow, both in the sun and in the darkness. The whole is inspired by nature and features large, almost organic gaps.

🚂 The Dawlish Railway: Where Tracks Meet the Tide
The railway at Dawlish is one of the most iconic and dramatic stretches of track in the UK, hugging the south Devon coastline with waves often crashing just metres away. Here's a deep dive into its story:
🌊 A Railway Built on the Edge
- The line is part of the Exeter to Plymouth route, serving the seaside town of Dawlish.
- It runs directly along the sea wall, making it uniquely exposed to the elements.
- South of Dawlish station, the track threads through five tunnels carved into the cliffs, offering stunning views and a thrilling ride.
️ Storms and Resilience
- In February 2014, a powerful storm destroyed 100 metres of the sea wall, severing the rail link and costing the region an estimated £1 billion in economic impact.
- The collapse highlighted the vulnerability of this coastal route and sparked a major engineering response.
️ The £82 Million Reinvention
- The South West Rail Resilience Programme was launched to protect the line from future storms and rising sea levels.
- Engineers used a pioneering ‘Wavewalker’ barge to work in tidal conditions—its first use on the UK rail network.
- The new sea wall is 8 metres high, 2.5 metres taller than the original, and includes recurve units that deflect waves back out to sea.
- Completed in 2023, the project added a 415m promenade, seating areas, beach access, and nods to Dawlish’s history, like reclaimed stone benches and outlines of old alcoves
