Looking down upon a hurrying world,
above the clouds,
offers detachment,
perspective,
and peace.
World’s away,
and above it all.
Cheers to you from peaceful heights and prayers to those in Irma’s path~

Thanks & you too! I enjoy seeing the interesting things you do~
Thank you very much Cindy. And I love your blog very much, it is a very interesting blog with beautiful places and animals. Than you for posting them.
Thank you more for appreciating them! <3
Yes, detachment and perspective can definitely bring peace. Wonderfully said with images. <3
Thank you for understanding and knowing~
My favorite is the first photo. I’m crazy about clouds.
They are fascinating aren’t they, especially when looking down on them for a change~
That’s so true! I remember my first air flight when I saw the clouds below!
Yes. It is immediate perspective.
That looks like one beautiful place above the clouds, beautiful images!
So pleased they resonated with you!
Memories… Makes me think of my summer of backpacking, Cindy. A much needed break from the hurrying, divided world. Thanks. –Curt
Yes. I hear you. We are hopefully heading up to the Eastern Sierra for the fall colors soon. I crave the mountains and lakes….
The aspens are calling, Cindy. 🙂
So beautiful Cindy makes me want to get out and do some photography! I had this flash of inspiration yesterday to create a book of photos of sculptures and poetry. Maybe one day!
It sounds wonderful and I would love to see the finished work!
Another stunning post Cindy. At times I wonder if Clouds are not the paint brushes in the sky? xx
Sounds like a new poem is developing in you Lea! Cheers to you & be well~
Perhaps, I usually haven’t a clue until I read what I wrote??? All the best Cindy`…

So beautiful!
Vielen danke!
The peace and solitude in this post are much enjoyed and appreciated, Cindy, thank you. A little peace and perspective can go a looong way.
Yes, we need lots of both these days!
So important to spend time in nature… it certainly does change one’s perspective.
Yes it does. Architecture does this too. I was just admiring your Greene & Green photo tour~
A bird’s eye view of the world. Must have been a heckuva climb.
Thankfully the car did it for us!
That is lucky! We drove to the top of Mt. Diablo this summer, and it was hot. Napa was going to reach 110. Unbelievable.
Yes, lots of unusual weather everywhere!
What a fantastic diversity of views you have presented here…one for every mood (and each mood containing wonder and happiness). Brilliant post Cindy, there are views of this world that truly make me take in a deep breathe and fall in love with life all over again 🙂 Cheers to a great weekend.
Good. I am glad you are in love with life again. You deserve to be my friend. We all do. Always wonderful to hear from you!
Astonishing photos Cindy! Where did you take them?? I can’t imagine being so high above the clouds on land. And the reflected photos were especially beautiful! xox
This is from Mt. Palomar State Park, which is quite close to The Holler and a place we go regularly to hang out with the pine trees. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sounds perfect– hanging out with pine trees! amazing photos again Cindy!

Beautiful, Cindy! Prayers to those who had to flee their homes as well.
<3 <3 Hope all is well with you Maiko~
I love the sunset photos Cindy! How long have you been blogging for? 🙂
Thank you! I have been blogging for about five years now, regularly posting for about three.
An experienced blogger by all accounts Cindy! How often do you post?
Typically about every five days……
Thanks – it is interesting to discover other peoples blogging habits!

magnificent! i <3
Merci beaucoup mon ami~ <3
I was intrigued by that square, stone column by the water’s edge. Was it part of a bridge at one time? I love to think on things like that! Beautiful pictures, as always!
Good eye! It is an old generator built by a small dam. It actually has two stories, since rotted away, with closing cupboards inside and windows. It was built to see if electricity could be generated which it could not.
I love stone work, and have done a bit myself…so I’m always wanting the story behind it! Thank you!

Above the clouds! That must have been a good hike. I love that everything looks so green. When I’ve been to California, usually after the heat of summer has disappeared, everything is brown and dry in the hills. The hubby and I are arriving in CA Oct 1, will be visiting Alys and enjoy a trip to Carmel too. xo B
That is such a pretty part of the state. Head a bit south of Carmel into the northern part of Big Sur if you feel like it. The part that wasn’t damaged by the winter storms. This is some of the most beautiful coastline in the west. We will be near you as the crow flies when you visit, but on the other side of The Sierra Nevadas, in the Eastern Sierras. Wish I could meet up with you. We could go critter searching!
omgosh! that would have been awesome Cindy! Maybe next time if you’re on this continent ! ha! I like to visit Alys every other year in San Jose 😀
Well my daughter lives close by, so I think it is highly probable….
Beautiful pictures💖
Ah, thank you so much!
So lovely.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness & cheers to you!
With a cloud-sled one could reach the next mountaintop!
I love this possibility!
Thank you Cindy for your visit and sharing your amazing photos. 🙂
I wish we could meet someday dear friend~ <3
