Inventing Silk Roads

The idea of a Silk Road, though it conjures up visions of exotic goods passing between Asia and Europe via ancient trade routes, is a thoroughly modern one.

#OTD in 1520.

The Strait of Magellan, the passage immediately south of mainland South America connecting the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, is known by this name after the Portuguese sailor Fernão de Magalhães sailed through it in the XVI century.

I always feel refreshed when I get out and away to a quiet, beautiful place. The issues of the day -- that turbulently revolving chatter and splatter of the latest things to fear and worry over -- get put into perspective when I am in a setting of silence.

Nature speaks, teaches, encourages, inspires.

Is it the hippo, the tiger or bear, or an elk that you seek from here and elsewhere?

It is a remnant of what it once was, the Castle of Rocca Calascio in Italy.

But a thousand years have passed, and a number of earthquakes have taken their toll, along with wind, and weather, and abandonment.

But the fortress still stands -- stubborn, determined, perseverant.

There are people like that, and if the world has to have any influencers, let it be them..

There are no ceilings overhead here other than the sky, no fences or walls that are not crafted -- by nature through time -- of rock and stone. There is sound but no noise.

There is space and beauty, room for my thoughts to wander and wonder.

There is peace.

Sea grass: it looks soft, but it's got an edge to it, so much so that I've never had a temptation to lie down in the midst of it.

But I do so enjoy hiking up and down the sand dunes, picking my way through the clumps of grass, listening to the distant surf, and looking far, far out to where sky and ocean meet.

One of the best times of the year to photograph wildlife on Vancouver Island is during the herring spawn. This spectacular event attracts sea lions, seals, orca, bald eagles, otters, mink and many other species of birds and mammals.

If you have any experience with fences, you know that they need constant upkeep: they sag, drag, lean, break, collapse.

And if you have any experience with rivers, you know that they last a lot longer than fences.

#introduction update for my second Mastodon anniversary!

I'm a #nonbinary #transmasc #lgbtqia person in my late 30s, I live in #Finland and pretty much toot in English.

I've been with my partner for over 16 years, we run a #pinball arcade together as a hobby. We have two elderly #cats who also get shared on here on the occasion.

I play a lot of #VideoGames, especially #RPGs and post about my progress, usually with pictures or videos.

I enjoy #travel, I've been to 13 different countries so far. I also enjoy meeting people from all around the world.

I do a lot of #crafts especially when the weather is bad. I #knit, #crochet and #CrossStitch

I'm a #chef by profession, I love good #food and great #coffee. I've been working at a student cafe on a uni campus for almost 7 years.

I like #cycling and try to keep some sort of decent condition with it. We have pretty good cycling routes in my home town. Photo evidence is shared on the occasion.

If you read this far, and share interests, give me a follow 😁

Looking for recommendations:

I’ll be traveling to #SaltLakeCity #Utah (the Sandy/South Jordan area) next month, and I’d like to get some eats and drinks from restaurants that aren’t owned/run by MAGAts. Any suggestions?

It wasn't a mighty and enormous river, one with a name that everyone recognized worldwide. But that didn't mean that it didn't make a difference as it flowed through its landscape, didn't have a purpose in its journey, or didn't deserve to exist.

Because, you know, Big isn't the only size tht rivers come in.
