La Mission Racine. Dans les années 1960, le gouvernement français lance le plan d'aménagement touristique du littoral du Languedoc-Roussillon. Pour transformer le village en station balnéaire sans dénaturer le cœur historique, l'architecte Raymond Gleize imagine amener la mer jusqu'au pied du village.
PITANGUEIRAS
A Praia do Maluf, situada no canto esquerdo da Praia das Pitangueiras em Guarujá, é famosa por suas ondas fortes e constantes, sendo o principal ponto de encontro para surfistas na região.

Exactly what I Wanted
One of the biggest added bonuses of a trip to Yellowstone is that when you leave Yellowstone to go home… you’re probably going to have to go through Grand Teton National Park to get to the airport and you get one last glorious day and sunset and stars in the wilderness leading to a fantastic bookend and epilogue to the trip.
This trip was special. Originally planned for 2024 and then for 2025, and delayed in both years by a host of issues, and redirections, and happenstance, finally getting back to @greateryellowstone ten years after I first visited this amazing place felt fitting.
Issues, happenstance, and redirection also made the first part of this trip wildly different than any of us anticipated. If you know me personally, you know I love solitude. I love quiet. I never mind being alone with my thoughts. But when it comes to travel… I’m usually with people. Friends, family, loved ones; travel, to me, is meant to be shared.
But sometimes, on your own, the vast quiet of the mountains and the solitude of the trail can truly fill your soul in ways that are unexpected and new.
That was this trip.
Although my family happily made the trip out to Yellowstone with me, I was on my own for the first leg of the trip and had The Tetons all to myself.
I’m not ashamed to admit that I adored the solitude, the quiet, and the easy fun I had, in being alone in the mountains.
I’d always wanted to go off on an adventure, totally on my own, and even though I didn’t plan for it, I was happy I finally got the chance to test myself and enjoy myself.
Teton, already special to me, will now always have that veneer of adventure to it.
And that’s how a place that I had already loved can become better than I remembered it.
With Yellowstone and Teton, that’s no small feat. These parks are superlative in every way possible. Other places do not compare.
But revisiting them? And doing so on an adventure that you’d craved for a very long time?
That’s how new love for old places is born. That’s what our National Parks are: landscapes for adventures and discovery of the self.
I already can’t wait to be back.
Incoming…
Anse Georgette, Praslin, Seychelles, Indian Ocean
There’s not much point in going all this way to the Seychelles without island hopping and our second stop was the island of Praslin and three nights at the Constance Lemuria which just so happens to lie on the airport flightpath. Landing, customs, transfer and check-in took well less than an hour and not wanting to waste the afternoon we ventured out.
Like Constance Ephelia, the hotel complex also has access to two beaches, but one of the best beaches on the island is Anse Georgette which is walkable through the resort’s golf course. It’s only about 20 minutes (longer from the public carpark outside of the resort and golf course) but bloody hilly… no wonder the golfers use buggies!
Top tip: flip-flops are not the choice of footwear in getting there!!!
However, the effort is well worth it, the sand is white with fine granules under foot. The boulders are specular and I snapped over a hundred images here. Unfortunately, the excitement got the better of me, and I didn’t really pay attention to the menacing incoming clouds… we got the soaking of our lives on the way back to the hotel!

North Arran Seashore
This part of Arran is purportedly where 18th century Scottish geologist found a rock formation which shows where formations of different times join together in a way not expected.
Its importance is evident in nearby Lochranza, where a building houses many field trip students from many universities (including one of my friends) who have stayed and studied the formations.
This *isn't* Hutton's Unconformity, but it is to me a good example of the rock formations that one sees in the area. Note the red rock on the left interspersed with the darker rock to the right.
The area is also great for flat pebbles, perfect for skimming...
In the distance one can see the islands of Great Cumbrae, Bute, and the mainland surrounding the upper Clyde, in which Arran sits.

These fishing huts are characteristic of the Côte de Jade and the wider French Atlantic coast. They use a large square lift net, known as a carrelet, which is lowered into the water and raised from the platform. The blue fishing hut at Tharon has become one of the most recognizable and frequently photographed coastal landmarks in the area.

Connecting the beach to the river is a floating private pontoon where you can catch the foot ferry across to Helford Village. This crossing is recognized as the oldest river-passing and passenger ferry in the UK, dating back approximately 1000 years.

Atomic Sunset
Another in the series of sunsets transformed into somewhat apocalyptic visions. For thematic (if not plot) reasons, one is reminded here of the old Cold War cautionary, On The Beach. I have found that its story haunts me, not because of the apocalyptic elements, but because of the characters' active surrender to the approaching pall of death. To be sure, death will find us all. But let us make him work for his harvest.

Main Beach, Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia
Byron Bay is a beachside town located in the far-northeastern corner of the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is located 772 kilometres north of Sydney and 165 kilometres south of Brisbane.
Cape Byron, a headland adjacent to the town, is the easternmost point of mainland Australia. At the 2011 census, the town had a permanent population of 4,959. The town is in turn the nucleus of Byron Shire, which had 29,209 residents.
The local Arakwal Aboriginal people's name for the area is Cavvanbah, meaning "meeting place". Lieutenant James Cook named Cape Byron after Naval officer John Byron, circumnavigator of the world and grandfather of the poet Lord Byron.
The town has several beaches which are popular for surfing. It is a resort popular with both domestic and international tourists, including backpackers, who travel along the Australian coast; the scenery also attracts skydivers. The area is also noted for its wildlife, with the whale watching industry a significant contributor to the local economy.
An oceanway runs from the centre of town to the Cape Byron lighthouse. This allows visitors to walk and cycle to the lighthouse. Source: en.wikipedia.org

Sunset at the End of the World
As someone who has contemplated the end of all things for as long as memory extends, I was always taken by H.G. Wells's vision of a twilight earth in which a nearly lifeless ocean hangs beneath a dim, red sun. Of course, the red sun that will some day engulf the Earth will loom large and hot in those last hours, the ocean having long before boiled away; there will be no gradual fading into an ever colder night, unless some freak orbital event ejects the Earth from the iron grip of Sol. In that case, the Earth shall glide into the endless night, there to stay in frozen preservation for aeons beyond human comprehension. With apologies to Frost, the end will more likely come from fire than ice, at least for the Earth as we know it.
This image emerged so portentous that I dared not alter it too much; the stains and defects that I might otherwise diligently scrub away felt like the wear marks of a time traveler's postcard. The image thus compelled me to leave it largely as it was. To those with the taste for it, there is a terrible beauty to be found in the end of the world. I take the postcard as a reminder.
