Imagine

Hello dear friends

Thought I would share a few photos taken while we were walking around the Viaduct and having lunch outdoors in the sunshine.

Yes, just Imagine taking to the seas in this beauty, would be very nice sailing, the blue ocean.
It was huge and the masts reached up to the sky.






I loved this older style sailing boat with it's sails up, that you can see in the distance.



Imagination is more important than knowledge
~ Albert Einstein


Thank you for your lovely comments and visiting me, your friendship and all the inspirational blogs I am so lucky to visit.
Enjoy your weekend, my lovely friends.
Hugs
Carolyn

    Hallo Carolyn

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

    Do you know I have never been on the ocean before in a boat? I get very car-sick that I wouldn't even want to know what a boat would do to me. My parents lived on the coast for years, but could never get me on a boat :)
    It looks like beautiful weather there dear Carolyn. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday my sweet friend!
    hugs from me...

    Einstein had it right, for I can almost smell the salty air looking at these photos. How nice it would be... to live near the sea.
