Like layers of layers, of layers of thoughts in mind, that running, that renewing, or changing to make inside a development…understanding of what was, what is…what might have been, of what might be…Without really knowing the future…Everyday is a new day, with new thoughts, but as well as old thoughts, to remind, to let grow, to hope, to unite, and bring a decision for yourself. Your decision might effects others as well for their development in one way or another. It so much more easy, to simply let your life flow in natural way, whether it will take you to where you dream, or not…Live your life !! Let others live their life. With acceptance of reality. Thanks for viewing & commenting…May this day be refreshing with appreciating what you have, and hopes for a better tomorrow…Love, Nira. Copyrights© Nira Dabush

“Rosh haNikra is a cliff at the sea, right at the northern border of Israel towards Lebanon. The name means “head of the cave”, and tells us why this place is listed on showcaves.com: there are numerous impressive sea caves at the foot of the cliff, which may be reached by cable car. The longest cave is 200m long. The cliff consits of white chalk, and looks similar to the cliffs of Dover. The caves were formed by the work of the sea water, following fracture zones in the rock which are weaker than undisturbed rocks. The cliffs were always a problem for travel and trade. The mountains ridge orms a natural border, and so very early a tunnel was hewn into the soft chalk. Alexander of Macedonea (Alexander the Great) is credited for having hewed the first tunnel in 323 BC to create a passageway for his army after besieging Tyre. Later this road was used by the armies of the Seleucids and the Ptolemies. In 1099 AD it was used by the Crusaders. In World War I the British Army built the first road, which as accessible to motor vehicles. The latest and most impressive traffic route through the cliff was the Haifa-Beirut-Tripoli railway, which was built by the British during World War II. There were three tunnels, one on each side of the border and one crossing the border. The tunnel on the Israelian side may be visited. The railroad tracks are removed, but there is a sort of “tourist railroad”. The caves are numerous interconnected branches totaling 200m. Formed by the work of the sea they are located around sea level at the foot of the cliff, and the only way to enter their natural entrance is with diving gear and rather dangerous. In 1968 a 400m long tunnel was opened to allow access to the caves. ”..... Thanks for viewing and commenting. Copyrights (c) Nira Dabush

Taken a few miles east of Leicester, near Allexton. Its that time in the UK, just before the wheat gets harvested – heavy heads beginning to nod gently under the weight of the grain, and the weather unable to decide whether it is summer or not, threatening to flatten the crop, just it is ready. Leicestershire is full of distant horizons like this, and the Barley is all but in now, much of the ground already having been put under the plough in readiness for the next crop.
The Weald is an ancient wooded area that has remained relatively unchanged since.. ever. there are a few buildings mostly erected in the 19th century, one of which was the country home of W S Gilbert of Gilbert & Sullivan fame. The woods are full of dips mounds and hollows where clay gravel and sand were dug for the making of bricks. The Weald area along with Harrow-on-the-Hill were used for brick-making. Although there were no brickearth deposits, claygate beds and pebble gravel on the higher areas of Harrow Weald and Harrow-on-the-Hill provided the necessary clay and sand. A brick-maker of Harrow-on-the-Hill is recorded in 1589, and the ‘surreptitious getting of a great quantity of sand’ to make bricks was an issue between Pitt and Gerard in the 1630s. Gerard, having clay but no sand at Flambards, took over 100 loads of sand from Pitt’s ground to make bricks, underselling Pitt by 6d. in the 1000. The castigation of this action as ‘against the custom of the country’ suggests that brick-making was already well established. A brick-clamp in Weald Wood occurs in 1609–10, when, as ten years later, it was leased to Thomas Tibbald. By 1685 Matthew Bodymead owned a brick-, tile-, and lime-kiln on land leased to him on Weald Common near Bentley Corner. Other members of this old Weald family maintained brickworks throughout the 18th century at Harrow Weald, Harrow-on-the-Hill, and Pinner, until at the end of the century their property passed by marriage to the Blackwells. In 1767 and 1776 building bricks were the main product, but paving bricks and tiles were also made. The Blackwells flourished throughout the 19th century, their prosperity growing with the demand for suburban villas and workmen’s cottages. Several fine residences—Hillside, Brookside, and the Cedars—housed members of the family. Charles Blackwell built cottages for his own employees at the City of the Weald. In 1831 these housed 120 people, including the families of 26 brick-making labourers. Twenty years later there were 52 workers at the Weald works. In the 19th century the firm specialized in pots, pipes, and tiles. The Blackwells relinquished their interest in Harrow Weald in the 1890s, but brick-making continued at Clamp Hill into the next century. The Blackwell family name will be familiar to those in the UK from the food products made in association with the Crosse family. Crosse & Blackwell is a brand name that would be recognised by most in the UK.
The fog and mist went as far as the coast this morning…I’m about 15km by road inland….the blue at the top of the image is the Pacific Ocean…. DebsPhotos

“Still round the corner there may wait, a new road or a secret gate.” / ~J. R. R. Tolkien I have often passed this property and admired it from the roadside. It is at quite a distance from the road since the property is quite large, probably a few acres, but it was obvious even from my perspective that it afforded an incredible view over the lake. Recently the old house was torn down. It was inevitable that I would explore! The house was standing very close to the edge of the property and right in front of the gates despite huge tracks of land behind it that led to the road. I am sure that the lake could be seen from any window in that house. And I am certain it was built to take advantage of the incredible sunsets that Mother Nature would provide. The very front of the property facing the street is protected with a large stone fence that has a row of old ironwork lights spaced every few feet down its length. There are two ways to approach this lot, one being a long walk down a private road along one side of it. Tall old trees stand like soldiers at attention and lead you past where the house once stood down to the water’s edge. The house was built on a promontory elevated above what was a beach and boat launch in better days, now sadly overgrown. The second access is from the other side of the property, actually on another street and this is a real driveway, slicing the property in half and coming to the exact spot where the house used to be. To my delight I found this secret gate that leads down to the overgrown beach. You cannot see the steps in this shot. And I was not brave enough to try them. The cement staircase is as wide as the gate but each individual step is very narrow and crumbling from exposure over time to the elements. The gate is attached to an old chain link fence which completely protects that side of the property since it is quite steep down to the shoreline. The open gates are as found. The property although neglected and abandoned shows signs of the grandeur that once existed. I spent an hour or two there, just looking, taking in the scenery and visualizing how exciting it would be to build a grand home on the very spot!
