Colorado tends to be dry and brown and dry and brown and dry and brown and oppressively sunny. It doesn't exactly make my heart sing.
I'm not sorry. Know thyself, right?

All Undiscovered
“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
Isaac Newton

"Today is the happiest day of my life. I know Italy, Sicily, Greece and Egypt, and I have never seen anything, anything, to match the Pena. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. This is the true Garden of Klingsor and there, up above, is the Castle of the Holy Grail."
Richard Strauss
Porto ... Ponta de Barca

In and around Coimbra
Another round of pictures. So many pictures.
The untold want by life and land ne'er granted,
Now, voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.
