To just stand and watch the wind energise sails as they are unfurled is something indeed.
Reminds me of human potential. That comes all wrapped up. It requires some unfurling to go a good distance
The Isle Of Wight reminds you of many things in its own unique way.

The Yarmouth Pier at the Isle Of Wight. Even on a foggy day, it arrests you with its invitation to step in and smell the water!
It’s the longest wooden pier in the UK. It is such a pretty thing.

The Chairlift to the sea! It is one heck of a chair and a hullava lift! Simple sheet and straightforward. Yet it offers some incredible sights to savour
Like the waves rushing to a multi coloured shore, with the wind blowing freely and the Needle Point watching it all in stoic silence!
I was told the Olympic torch for the London Olympics made its way up via the Chairlift! The torch indeed goes places, I must say!

Perhaps it was the effect of Tennyson whose home this place housed. Freshwater Bay, Isle Of Wight.
It was a spectacular sunset. The fact that there was Sun was such joy. And then to see this sunset was a huge lottery win!

“The Needles is a row of three distinctive stacks of chalk that rise out of the sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, UK, close to Alum Bay. The Needles Lighthouse stands at the outer” says Wikipedia.
What it doesn’t say despite trying hard to say it all, is that it is spectacular! Remember these are column of chalk in the sea!

Catching the wind and riding the wave! Only a few can do it well and with ease. Those who do have a good time! 🙂 The first time I saw #KiteSurfing in action. It is something.

The Royal Mail Service. In this day and age of super fast connectivity and speed, the Royal Mail founded in the 15th century (in 1516, 499 years ago) and it’s employees have evolved!
Was intrigued by the two wheels and red flaps standing on the driveway. Until the two legs came by and whisked it away.

Trains. Anywhere in the world you go, the rhythmic chugging is so full of energy. Powerful, potent and full of muscle.
And when they are painted bright, they are quite a sight, when you stand in the station and see them whizz by or get ready to whizz away!

A sea of boats are moored still. At Lymington. I look at them straining my eyes and furrowing my brow. There are so many of them.
They remind me of several lives. Infinitely powerful and capable. But perpetually moored to a pier.

His board says ‘For a trip to Australia ’. He has three buckets of soap water and small paraphernalia to create bubbles in the air.
The children are ecstatic about it. The parents bring out their smiles and cameras. Which of course is ultimate indication of approval!
Standing at Trafalgar Square I train my gaze on the guy who does it all. I wonder if he will get to Australia, blowing bubbles in the air. But he has already taken scores of kids over the moon.
For that reason, I wish him well. Hope he does get to Australia.
