the end of one phase
another begins with the waning of the moon
all that remains
are beams of memories
reflections that waver in the water
are they there
or not
were they ever

or but a dream
a dream that is reality only in a frame of space and time
one place becomes real
another but a reflection that is or was

a precious memory that fades with the days
photographs that spark a thought
but never the same this newly formed reflection

from one to another
one web to the next
one comfort to another
one world two lives

who and what remains
where the ships are marked only by
the ripples in the water
or is there an anchor?

Bath and Stonehenge!

Thinking too much before exams.And of all the wrong things too

So I was in the gym today.
And I realised. That some people probably enjoying exercising in the gym more than excersing outdoors.
I for one, generally prefer to swim in a pool, than in the ocean. I guess a lake is ok. And of course I do not like snorkelling in a pool. Nothing to see right? :)

And then I thought.

Man created the gym and the pool because he didnt always have access to the great outdoors.
Not everyone lives near a body of water.
Not everyone lives in a country where the weather is always suitable to being outdoors.
We created the gym and the pool to replace what we could not have. Like creating an artificial environment for animals in a zoo.

Bu the irony is. Some of us now actually prefer this artificial environment. Much like how animals who have been in captivity for a long time can't survive in the wild.

Hmm.

Thinking too much? Call it exam delirium

Trip to the SAHARA

More Pics? ok! haha

Desert Morning
We saw a nomad with his goats ( are those goats? haha)..... they lead a very simple life. No internet, no TV...
Our shadosws cast on the sand dunes
Our sleeping tent!!
The CAMELS! No I cant smell them..

Day 2 and 3 of our time in Marrakesh (Morocco) was spend in the Sahara Desert.
AND
Because I am too lazy to type out long stories...

Riding on the camel...I'm number 3 in the line... can you see the shadows? Its not comfortable I guarantee you. My camel apparently pooped quite a bit.. and I saw Jamie's camel pee! Camels also have amazing eye lids...
I also am not very good at balancing... check out my attempt to take a photo while the camel is moving
Beautiful Sunset...Look at the sky!!! I'm now number 4 in line cos Adeline's camel is ermz.. something wrong with it I think.. and the guy untied it and brough it in front. Did I tell you mine started to gallop halfway cos it was frightened by a truck going past?
We wake up in the morning at 5am. See our shadowns in the Sand Dunes! Brings back my Geography Days
Thats the tent where they make our food (bread with fig jam for breakfast.. and as always.. mint tea with tons of sugar)
Sunrise in the Sahara.. We slept in this tent...of carpets.. it gets cold at night but not too bad still
