The most difficult battle to be won against the enemy in the future must be fought within ourselves, with an exceptional effort that will transform our appetite for hatred into a desire for justice.

Sometimes you have to walk for miles for a photo, other times it’s as simple as looking out of your window on a morning. I went for the latter option today!

A walk in the park…

On Ilkley Moor…

A good couple of hours walking on Ilkley Moor today – a visit to the ’12 Apostles’, a game of throw-the-big-hunk-of-ice-onto-the-frozen-pond-to-make-it-make-a-funny-noise, a few bogs and a few more miles underfoot! Bliss!

“Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.”

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.”
- T.S. Eliot

Market day!

Today, two from a market in Guatemala. I’ve already written about how much I enjoyed visiting markets while we were away, they were so ‘concentrated’, absolutely rammed full of life!

In peace.

“I spray the sky fast. Eyes ahead and behind. Looking for cops. Looking for anyone I don’t want to be here. Paint sails and the things that kick in my head scream from can to brick. See this, see this. See me emptied onto a wall.”
― Cath Crowley, Graffiti Moon

As seen in Xela, Guatemala.

“I think every big town should contain artificial waterfalls that people can descend in very fragile canoes, and they should contain bathing pools full of mechanical sharks. Any person found advocating a preventive war should be condemned to two hours”

- Bertrand Russel
