With my left tendon still healing and Joel navigating the long shadow of thyroiditis, our Saturday adventures have quietly changed with the season. Winter now draws us toward warm restaurants, lingering dinners, and the comfort of shared conversation rather than demanding trails.
Pulpit Rock has become a place of memories rather than destinations. Its razor-sharp stones, steep stairways, and weather-worn timber steps—now crumbling in places with age and neglect—ask more of us than we are willing to give at present. The climb is exhausting, the footing uncertain, and so we leave it to the wind and the ravens for now.
Yet the place remains dear to us. Over the years we captured countless photographs there, each one holding a fragment of a different season, a different version of ourselves. This image is one of those forgotten treasures, tucked away until now—a small window back to the days when the path seemed shorter, the rocks less formidable, and the horizon endlessly inviting.

Great sky and view! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it Eileen!
DeleteUn bello lugar y una fotografía excelente. Con un buen efecto seda en el agua y esas rocas en el primer plano que le dan profundidad a la fotografía.
ReplyDeleteThe vibrations through the turbulent waves there made long exposure almost impossible
DeleteThis is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThe sea wind is energising there
Delete...the ocean looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWater is mesmerising
DeleteLovely colours! ♥
ReplyDeleteQuan arriba el temps de cuidar-se, sempre podem recordar paisatges o moments o tenir converses més tranquil·les.
ReplyDeleteÀnims!
Salutacions.
It is a challenge to sample various landscapes
DeleteThis place looks so dangerous, and unapproachable! The two of you must have been very fit and agile to attempt it. But what a photo! The waves almost look like fog. It lingers between strange beauty and danger. There are many different types of thyroiditis, each with a different treatment. I hope he will recover soon, it must be miserable.
ReplyDeleteWonderful contrast between the unmoving solid rock, and the restless movement of the sea. Love it.
ReplyDeleteWalking difficult sounds high, which is probably why I've never seen Pulpit Rock, so thank you for showing us.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing view! Take care of yourself. Thank you for linking up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scene.
ReplyDeleteAnd so life goes, but we have souvenirs and memories, and you are young enough to revive. At least i think you are.
ReplyDeleteStunning view
ReplyDeleteSuch impressive view !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos. Our bodies need a rest too, so it's wintertime, that should help and enjoy your time at restaurants and so on.
ReplyDeleteAmazing :-D
ReplyDeleteCape Schanck isn't the only Pulpit Rock in the world or even in Australia. So there must be something spiritual about the name that the original explorers liked.
ReplyDeleteAs always fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThis post is so poignant, filled with a mix of longing and memory, recognition of change (hopefully just seasonal) yet with a quiet gratitude. The photo is certainly one to keep those memories alive. I hope you have it enlarged and displayed in your home.
ReplyDeleteEsa piedra que se asemeja a un menhir colocado en el centro del campo tiene algo que embruja y si a ello le acompaña el resto del paisaje y unas condiciones del mar, el resultado es el que nos ofreces en este reportaje y alguno mas.
ReplyDeleteEspero que te recuperes de tu tobillo y tu amigo Joel le controlen los problemas del tiroides, lo único es que le espera la perpetua con la pastillita. Lo digo porque tengo hipotiroidismo.
Saludos.
Beautiful scene and full of memories for you.
