I just wanted to share some photos of what is probably my main cycle route at the mo and my place to go for reflection. I swear you cannot beat some of these views on the island.

I won't be here for too much longer, but i have certainly had a lot of time alone in the last two years, got my head down and am feeling rejuvenated. Nature is my sanctuary and i would always recommend just finding a quiet spot where only you know, and just listening.

To accompany the pics, i will add some of my favorite quotes. All being well, there might be one or two you may not of heard before.

Stay free and wild.

“The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious, of being out of one’s mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society highly values its normal man. It educates children to lose themselves and to become absurd, and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years.”
― R.D. Laing, The Politics of Experience/The Bird of Paradise

For billions of years since the outset of time
Every single one of your ancestors' survived
Every single person on your mum and dad's side
Successfully looked after and passed onto you life
What are the chances of that like?

“Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”

Great post and lovely pics!
I'm really looking for a quite and nice place where to live for a couple of years or maybe even longer.
All the Best!

Thanks Don, you're in London aren't you? why not revisit your homeland, Italy is beautiful mate, it's been a while since i was there, but i have never forgot that country. Different universe to UK (in a good way)

Yes, I am and right now I would like to be somewhere else. Italy would be just the right place. Hopefully I'll go there sometime soon.
Take care!

what beautiful places dear friend @ jonjon1, without a doubt they are special to give a great walk in contact with nature
I wish you a great day

Cheers jlufer, hope you're good mate. :)

Hello friend @jonjon1 I really like the tranquility of that landscape, where you tend to relax, it's good to connect with yourself since sometimes we overlook our own lives in the concrete jungle, and we do not stop for a while to our self-knowledge, have a beautiful days .

Thank you katari, glad you enjoyed the scenery and landscapes and i completely agree with you.
