Thank you Richard, another welcome comment from a friend ;)

Here is a song for my best friend, Moon :) Ticket to the Moon


Thanx to both of you.. ;-)

..heres a song for all of us.. ;-D
Its all about seeing what we have, and understand how wonderful this
earth really is.. If we cant make the peace in the world that all
humans deserve, we can at least be aware of and be grateful for
all the beautiful moments this planet contains.. ;-)

This could be Heaven for everyone.

This is such a fitting end to these two 'journey' threads of mine Moon, and I thank you for what you say :) I hope there will be more journey threads, which there will be if we continue on that journey and I find another ticket to the moon to find your islands again. But for now I can't find more photos good enough to display, or that I want to display, and my camera stands ready for another 10,000 shutter clicks. I can only hope that I can journey on the same path with you, for longer, to find that humour, the hope and the beauty it brings for me. I hope that my journey to the Moon is not over. For now, I am glad that my journey with Moon continues, ... ;)

A journey to the Moon - an overview, part 20 - epilogue

I stood on the balcony looking over the burning houses. It was night and I was still wearing my white night gown, awakened by the noise and the flickering light from the flames outside. It was burning over the whole island, and also the adjacent islands. They were all covered in large bonfires, except that each bonfire was a building of one sort or another.

My mind struggled with the sight and the ferocity of the flames, watching all the buildings as they burned and nothing else, as if each had been lit as a beacon. No other people were visible.

A figure in a white gown came up beside me with long white hair, and calmly stood next to me, to my left, standing serenely. She was shorter than me, her head just up above my shoulders. We stood there side by side watching the flames, not saying anything to each other. Every building we could see was in flames, except for the house we were in.

The sky itself seemed full of flames and smoke, supplemented by dancing embers and billowing smoke, with the flames below seeming to brighten it. We held hands and knew it would be our last touch in this journey. It was time to part again. And to try again.

We turned to face each other and looked calmly into each other’s eyes, still holding hands. She smiled, as only she could, a warm radiant smile, and softly said, “I’ll see you”.

The bolt of flame was already on its way seeking its last target. I smiled back and replied “I’ll see you”.

This journey had ended. We had somehow found each other and had achieved what we came for, for ourselves. It was time to move on, but both knew we would find each other again, however long it took. We always did… and as ever, we would try again…

Thanks Richard. I've used a bit of PhotoShop trickery to brighten it a bit up for you ;)

Bergen center again




Thats very interesting sculpture.

Question 1. What constellation is shown above the viking ship {northern hemisphere?}

Question 2. Why is the viking ship displaying the curve at the back of the ship?

Question 3. Why is the 'totem' showing a bird character?

Question 4. Why is the 'totem' similiar with north American Indian totems {considering one theory suggests the inuit indians used mountain passes from Europe connecting America though the Vikings were the sailors/warriors because of their significant craft of seafaring warring abilities}.

Question 5. What is the Indian population of Bergen?

It also says "Tiende år hundre" .. That means its all about when the
vikings discovered America in year 1000 and something ;-)

I was just looking at my version of the 'Anglo saxon chronicles' for the precise date, and which Viking king was ruling England then and the precise location of the landing area of the viking ship...

You should read Thor Heyerdahl's Ra Expedition...
