I would love to see these. Off to Scotland soon but don’t think these beauties are on our route.

The Kelpies are 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures depicting kelpies (shape-shifting water spirits), located between Falkirk and Grangemouth, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland. The sculptures were designed by sculptor Andy Scott. The sculptures form a gateway at the eastern entrance to the Forth and Clyde canal, and the new canal extension built as part of The Helix land transformation project. The Kelpies are a monument to horse-powered heritage across Scotland. Each kelpie is 30 meters tall and weighs 300 tons, a monument to the workhorses that for centuries moved the Scottish economy.

Now that's travel!

The Dragon Heads by

On our Damara Elephant and Skeleton Damara Safaris, these clay (silt) sedimentary deposits are actually fairly soft and friable (brittle). Being a hyper-arid region however, their only erosional feature is the wind - a slow process - so we'll be seeing them for the foreseeable future at least

I feel this is true of my life right now. Thanks to a superfood supplement that is just freeze-dried berries and greens, I have my energy and focus back. I own a horse for the first time in my life and I'm starting her under saddle. She's a darling. It's not a straight road but it's a very engaging and enjoyable time working with her. I am feeling the magic so I thought I'd share this post from The Peace Ponies. Happy New Year everyone. I think I can still say that while it is still the tail-end (pun intended) of January. Woosh, where did that month go?! , , ,
