Impossible, but you see it with your own two eyes.

Incredibly fantastic!
It makes me want to fly!

My dream is to put on a leather helmet, retro glasses or helmet and possibly a suit on a motorcycle at high speed in "overflight" of asphalt, in which the air to purify my skin pores and cover my lungs, in which dexterity and time to react "by itself" in thousands of seconds, before I can give my consent to maneuver.

Speed ​​in full reaction and thinking functionality is our human nature something fundamental that everyone has

I was preparing to buy my motorcycle already four years ago, and I managed to slip on the ice and ruin my spine just walking , such a stupid accident for almost four years of trauma, it is shameful and at the same time obviously I would not have had the dexterity needed to ride a motorcycle.
But at least I was left with the feeling and the dream and that's something, maybe ...


In the meantime, the water covers any sensation in harmony with any emotion of living in nature and I will think about it instead
Just some places I'd like to be now ...











And the bright sky in the sunset of a friend who invites me to go there to see the sunsets, but separates us a long enough distance for a lockdown so "intense" at present ...

"Down is up and up is down. Or is it the other way around? Earth and a fortiori the whole solar system, even our home galaxy- endlessly float into space as the universe expands. As the Earth rotates around the Sun and on itself, it gives the impression that the sky is actually moving for an observer on its surface. That’s probably why it took so long for humanity to accept that the Sun was at the center of the solar system and not the Earth! "

"The Arctic Autumn is back again on Senja island in Northern Norway. And it shows! Each year, September marks the beginning of the Arctic Fall. For many locals, this season is like a new beginning. Not that the summer wasn’t full of life and colors either, but the autumn is largely considered as a favorite time to go outdoors. It might seem odd, but as life progressively goes into its wintery sleep, the landscapes come back to life! "

"Norway is home to some of the most spectacular fjords on Earth. These v-shaped valleys carved by glaciers during the last ice age harbor sharp mountain ridges and long arms of sea water turning into a very dramatic landscape during both day and night. "

I'm sorry I didn't answer Diane, looking at that date, I know that a few hard days followed for me, I'm sorry I didn't see your post.
It's been 4 years since then and I feel better, but I'm not like I used to be, self-healing of the body requires time regardless of treatments.
Thank you for your care and good thoughts! Thank you very much ...
Here's a hug from me ... and some pictures I like!

I was looking through some old photos today, and found these, taken a couple years ago at a beach in Florida, and knew I had to share them:
