youtu.be/a-muKVITo60 The Sycamore Dance. A gap with a story. The tree that lives on, if you can summon it. The tree sprang to life from the ground. And went to ground. But betwixt it holds the sun, water, wind, and space. And the rest are but embellishments in the firmament of life.

Statement by Yosemite NPS workers: “These losses, while deeply personal and impactful, may also be invisible to visitors and members of the public — we are shining a spotlight on them by putting a distress flag on El Capitan in view of Firefall. Think of it as your public lands on strike.”

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

The National Park Service fired many of its park rangers as part of a reduction in the federal work force. Some rangers decided it was worth the risk to speak out online about the cuts and share their love of the Park Service. “It’s scary, but it was the right thing to do.”

Kresen Kernow Museum

I'm looking for some photos of roads/lanes that are dodgy for walkers - but there's no other options by foot. Got any that are better (or worse) than these?

Live somewhere rural(ish) with no decent paths and only dangerous road and lane walking options? I'd love to hear about your experiences.

A great visit to the Cornish Connection exhibition at the Kresen Kernow Museum in Redruth. It was great exploring the connections between mining and telegraphy in Cornwall, the world, and the British Empire. Students who came to Cornwall from all over the world. 1/4
