Time To Breathe
Time To Breathe
In the bustle of life. In the pressure of decisions, peace has become a luxury. Take it when it comes, and cherish it. It gives you the time to breathe. It gives you rest and hope and life.
Pam Brown, B. 1928

The Great British Pub
Nothing finer than sitting by a roaring fire, while you sip a pint of your favourite beer....
According to the Campaign for Real Ale, 21 of our finest pubs are closing every week. Shocking. A pub is like a church, the heart of the community, with barstools instead of pews.

The Smallest House In Great Britain, Conwy, Wales
The house was created in the 16th century. The smallest house in Great Britain measures 72 inches across, 122 inches high and 120 inches deep. The house has a living area and bedroom. It was last occupied in 1900 by a fisherman called Robert Jones. Robert was 6ft 3″. The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully. He had to leave as the house was declared unfit for human habitation.
You do not need to leave your room.... Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.
Franz Kafka (1883-1924)
My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires.
Hazrat Inayat Khan (1882 - 1927)
Every year me and my family go to The South Of France. In August every year the local villages hold their own festivals. Two years running now Pomerols, village in South Of France, didn't have their own festival. A pity as the festival is entertaining and enjoyable to watch. However I was able to take images of the Festival Des Animaux Toteniques 2019!

Breathe, drink, taste... Live in each season as it passes: Breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Wow! This staggering skyscraper is sure to turn a few heads!
Inside the Extraordinary 190m Atrium (World Tallest) Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects
New photographs have emerged of the Zaha Hadid Architects-designed Leeza SOHO, a mixed-use office tower in Beijing’s Leeza Financial Business District. Featuring the world’s tallest atrium, the twisting, contorted structure weaves two separate sections of the tower in a visual infusion. The new images celebrate the 190-meter-tall atrium rising through the full height of the building, designed to “rise as a single volume, divided into two halves.” The 172,800-square-meter scheme sits atop a new transit hub straddling a subway tunnel currently under construction.
