You are the sum of everything that has gone before you.
Don’t turn your back on the past; there is so much to learn from it.
Let history lead you into the future.

Wearyall Panorama
Something a bit different today, to wrap up the month.
I’ve posted a couple of panoramic shots before on CKPonderings, as a test of my iPhone’s photographic capability, and was impressed with the results.
So, on my one-a-day a week or so ago, I thought I would try it out again.
Somerset – the Summer Lands – is, in the main, a flat, low lying county, but at the eastern edge of the levels lies the Isle of Avalon. In old English, the Island of Apples was so named because of the orchards lining its hills and one hill, Glastonbury Tor, stood out as a beacon in the inland sea.
Wearyall Hill (or Wirral Hill) runs down from the Tor, and provides an ideal platform from which to view the landmark and the moors beside it.
From the bench I was sitting on, in the late sunshine of a spring day, the views were spectacular.
Perspectives
How we view life is all about the perspective we see it from.
2+2=4, but so does 1+3 and 3+1.
One result of the coronavirus lockdown is that we are stuck indoors with family members. Another result of the coronavirus lockdown is that we have the opportunity to spend time with our loved ones in a way we never have before.
Another result of the virus is that we have to queue for ages outside the supermarket, waiting to get in. However, this gives us an opportunity to stand and do nothing – or perhaps converse with those around us – providing us with time we would otherwise not have had.
Glastonbury Tor is a hill that stands 518 feet (158 m) above the surrounding moors, but is tiny when seen against the immensity of a clear blue spring sky.
May’s Mass Observation Project is coming up, so take a photograph based that sums up the theme COLOUR to you, however you want to interpret it.
