“Iceland Vortex” by Larryn Rae. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to take photos like these 🤩 Link
Quote of the day 👩🏫
When you see someone often flashing their rank or position, or someone whose name is often bandied about in public, don’t be envious. Such things are bought at the expense of life. Some die on the first rungs of the ladder of success, other before they can reach the top, and the few that make it to the top realise at the end it’s only for an inscription on their gravestone.
By Seneca, On the Brevity of Life
The ability to work hard and long is admirable. But you are a human being, not a human doing. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn says: “Work is what horses die of. Everybody should know that.”
Interesting things 🤩
