David Copperfield, The ominous River by Phiz.

The image depicts the River Thames near the London docklands, a recurring symbol of both mystery and menace in Dickens’s novels.

Rendered in delicate line work and shadowed crosshatching, the river dominates the foreground, dark and still, bordered by ragged boats, leaning piers, and warped structures shrouded in fog. The water’s surface reflects the silhouettes of ships and industrial detritus, while in the distance, indistinct human figures suggest clandestine activity or silent tragedy.

"None may pass thru the Barren Gate," said the attendant at Gate 14.

"What do you mean, none?" demanded Ed. "I'm a ticketed passenger. And I'm in Group 1." He waved his boarding pass.

"As thou #art a ticketed passenger & in Group 1, then forsooth, thou mayst pass," conceded the attendant.

Ed stalked into the connector.

"Why's it called 'Barren Gate'?" I asked.

"Those who pass thru shall never sire nor bear young," intoned the attendant, as if handing down a prophecy.

Vintage pin-up calendar from July 1954.

Text below the calendar dates for July says:

"A man who is married has offered to buy her
A screen test, a Jaguar, a week end in Haiti.
She gently but firmly said, "Sir, I'm a lady."
(He's eighty)".

An illustration shows a vivacious brunette lying on her stomach. Her knees are bent and her feet in golden strappy high-heeled sandals are kicked up in the air. Her lower back is every so barely covered by a loose white towel, revealing tan lines on her upper thighs and the ghost of a bikini string across her back. She is propped up on her elbows, her hair pulled back in another towel. She looks over her shoulder and gives a bright smile to the viewer. It's classic, kittenish cheesecake.

On a warm, sleepy afternoon in late spring, I chanced upon this classic Renault 16 (with cat) parked beneath the pines in a quiet Greek town.

It's funny how the smoothest, straightest, easy-to-navigate roads often run through some of the most boring landscapes.

And some of the roughest, most circuitous and rugged ones take us through incredibly beautiful places. Maybe it's because we're moving so much slower that we take time to appreciate our surroundings.

Nature has her moments of fury and storm. But she also has times, many times, of serenity and calm, times when we can look and marvel at her majesty.

And experience peace.

Human hands are incredible tools -- we create with them, feel with them, touch and sense, and carry various things from one place to another.

But sometimes they're not enough, and that's when we use our abundant human ingenuity to fashion a means to add to what our hands can carry: we employ pots, baskets, Tupperware, slings, fabric, totes -- culture and era determine our choices.
