Silent and stoic the mountains stand to show their strength against the onslaught of the weather over the centuries.
We simply love to be out here in the fresh and crispy mountain air. A feeling of total peace and also hidden strength enfolds in one's emotions. This is the way it has always been, and can you imagine what stories these mountains can tell? I try to listen to the voices of the peaks when the winds whistle through them, but it is not easy to hear what they are saying. So, all that I can do is to hear the music of the wind.
It is a proven fact that nature is a healer and that is why all of us should make every effort to get outside into nature more often.
Forbidding peaks give the sky the finger.
But the mountains share their strength with the bird and animal communities in nature.
Clouds teasing the mountains with shadows.
A lovely farm setting with beautiful colors.
The cloud above the mountain was trying to block the sunlight on the mountain. A bit of jealousy perhaps?
The trees were dancing in the wind.
Far off, I saw what looked like a glider running along the mountain rim.
Finally, a pair of Sacred Ibises on their way somewhere.
As I was writing this post, the thought dawned on me that the mountains also had early beginnings, much the same as The Papillon Foundation aka @papilloncharity in its early days, but in time good things always grow.
I will soon post the Papillon annual report, and as usual we have moved mental mountains in our work in the communities. Yes, it is a hard and difficult road to walk, but we have the real mountains as inspiration to lead us through the trials that we have to face.
That's why we try our best to get out into nature at every opportunity for destressing purposes. Lately things are slowing down a bit as a result of our last burnouts, but we simply soldier on at an easier pace.
Such is life.
And That's All Friends.

Ah the mountains, they remind me of the Misty Mountains in Middle Earth.
Very pretty as they say and good that it stirs your memories.
Lovely mountain and scenery photos Sir Stephen. Yes if the mountains could talk they would tell us all the secrets of the earth. Maybe if we listen quietly they will reveal their secrets. 😊
Thank you Lady Jo. I am forever straining my ears to hear, but I think that their voices rather speak to my heart 😊
!PIZZA and !LUV to you!

Beautiful shots, sir. The mountains does remind me that I need to visit nature more instead spending more time in my cubicles all day long. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad your charity has seen her ups and downs but she's still thriving. Well done.
Thank you and my aim is exactly that, as I want to remind all that there is a different wonderful world out there called nature.
I have been duly reminded 🙌

Nature is the best doctor, I completely agree with you. Always when I feel bad or ill and get out, I feel much better as soon as I feel and smell the fresh air and see the mountains 😀
I wished that Papillon would grow faster and become the highest of all mountains 🗻

Good evening Hannes,
Nothing like nature to take all one's troubles away, both health wise and business wise, as it also clears the brain in order for one find many solutions for problems. Glad that you agreed with me 😊
A great wish and I thank you for it, but maybe as who knows? Miracles still happen!
Blessings.
Good morning Zac,
the day started easy - maybe because it's the last work day before Christmas. Everyone seems to be happy and smiling. I wished it could be that way all year long 😀
All my pleasure, my friend, I know that miracles still happen and I do hope this miracle will happen too 😊
PS: I wrote "the day started easy" - right after that my phone rang and I had to leave because the new department had problems with their security system. Problem solved and I'm back - hopefully the phone keeps quiet till I go home 😂 !LOLZ

Hi Hannes,
I definitely don't wish that we had this last day of work before Christmas, as it is madness out there. We bought the car and it had no spare key. After a lot of promises that they will find the spare key, they called us yesterday to say that we had to bring the car in at 11am today. They could not find the spare key and they needed the car to do the coding for a new key that they bought.
They said that it would take only 30 minutes to code the new key. Guess what?
We had to wait for 2.5 hours and then we were told that the new key was a wrong one and that it can't accept the codes. In the process of the continued attempts to code the key, the code on the original key also became faulty and so no key could now start our car. I blew my top as the long wait was very aggravating and told them to cancel the new key and to fix the old key. Thankfully I calmed down and they gave us a loan car to come home with.
At 4pm they called to say that they bought another key and that both of the keys work now. Then they delivered our car here and an extra driver took the loan car back.
I have tried to keep this message short, but I just had to tell you how our last working day went.
We wish that people can solve the problems as quick as you do at the head office, as then life will be so much easier.
Cheers and thanks.
Oh wow, what a day you have had, my friend. Where are the times when you could start a car with a screwdriver, not that I ever had done that 🤣 !LOLZ
Now seriously, I am glad that they delivered your car and didn't want you to get there again and that finally both keys are working.
I do my best and life would be much easier if everybody would do the same.

Of course as a senior police officer you have never done that, but I don't know what tricks a young mountain goat could get up to 😁 !LOLZ
All is well with the car again until the next episode my friend 😉
That you get from where? Everybody is too busy chasing money to have other things to think about.
Cheers and thanks.
well, the young mountain goat has also never done that, but some other things 🤣 !LOLZ
I hope the next episode will be sometime in the far future, if ever.
As always, it's all about the money.
