I like to start my morning slowly, easily, calmly, and while that isn't always possible, when it is, I make a point of doing so.

When you want to get out and away, be under an outrageously big clear sky, and surround yourself with nature's grandeur, the road to Monument Valley in Utah, USA, will take you there.

It was a place to wander about in while feeling amazed and peaceful at the same time. The mountains in the background were grand, immovable, and imposing with an unusual sense of benevolence that made me feel watched over and protected.

I imagine that's why the trees seemed so happy, swaying gently in a cool breeze, nodding a friendly hello to me as I walked through.

Hey #Bookstodon - I am in a bit of a reading rut and need some #recommendations to help me get out. Do you have any good recommendations for historical #fiction? I would even take some well-written #history or #travel books. My only restriction is that I would like recommendation not focused on the United States (but I am open if it is good). Thanks!

Basilica Cistern in Istanbul, built in the 6th century, showcases a vast grid of marble columns rising from shallow waters. Soft lighting accentuates the arches above, while reflections in the still water below create a tranquil, endless depth. Once a vital reservoir, it now offers a serene glimpse into the city’s ancient past.

The Basilica Cistern in Istanbul feels like stepping into an underground cathedral of columns. Imagine walking through a vast, cool space with rows of smooth, towering marble pillars stretching into the distance. The air carries a faint dampness, and the ground underfoot feels solid but slightly slick near shallow pools of water. Soft, warm lights gently wash over the columns, casting long shadows and creating a rhythmic pattern of light and darkness. Each pillar is reflected perfectly in the water below, giving the sense of endless pillars stretching downward as well as upward. It’s a place where every step echoes slightly, adding to the atmosphere of quiet reverence in this ancient, hidden world.

There's no highway, no smooth road to drive over, just this winding dirt path that looks like it will take its time to get to the foothills of the mountain.

But the mountain is pleased by the road, because it doesn't want crowds of cars parked at its feet. I suppose that mountains, in their rocky way, value a bit of privacy now and then, just as we do.

I freely admit that I have no desire to clamber about a roof repairing clay tiles, but I most definitely enjoyed viewing them from our apartment balcony in Orvieto, Italy.

(And I heartily admire those who clamber about on those roofs, repairing them.)

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.

#travel

Until the Panama Canal was finished in 1914, the Strait of Magellan was the only safe way to move between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Protected by the Tierra del Fuego to the south and the bulk of South America to the north, ships crossed in relative ease, removed from the dangers of Drake Passage.

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.

Ok y’all, #Trump is rolling his #paramilitary out to travel infrastructure, putting #ICE on the ground of some airports, with threats to roll it out to all. But, Dear Leader told his thugs to take off their masks at the #airport. You know what this means? I want every single person who has to use an airport to take pictures and add them to the ICE agent database.

Why should you do that? Because hack unto them as they hack unto us. https://sahanjournal.com/immigration/ice-surveillance-technology-facial-recognition-phones-minnesota/

Secondly: If you are not American, DO NOT TRAVEL HERE. It is not safe for you. It isn’t safe for us, but it’s really not safe for you. Boycott us like we are contagious.

Her thoughts wandered along with her feet, splashed through the surf, laughed at the tickling sensation of the sand between her toes, delighted in the moment, and simply refused to leave all the calmness and the warmth and the sheer, sheer joy.

Nature is a befuddling combination of regularity (high tide, then low tide, then high tide again) and what seems to be random weather catastrophes (tsunamis, earthquakes).

She's not tame or boring. But she also is not actuated by greed, so though she may be unexpected in her actions, she is not evil.
