<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As promised, here is the first set of photos from Egypt. I&#8217;m sure there will be several posts of photos, so keep checking back. I won&#8217;t go into too much detail here, but I&#8217;ll write a few captions. To read about our trip, check out a write-up I did for the <a href="http://kerdowney.com/" target="_blank">Ker &#38; Downey</a> blog <a href="http://kerdowney.com/2013/04/discovering-egypt/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-6578" title="LibyanDesertGlass" src="http://quietbuck.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/libyandesertglass.png?w=150&#038;h=200" alt="" width="150" height="200" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1283" title="blankbox" src="http://quietbuck.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/blankbox.gif?w=10&#038;h=10" alt="" width="10" height="10" /><br />
Sitting here this morning, pondering over my thoughts on this idea of cutting rock with the sun. Applying my engineering knowledge to the situation,  I had a revelation. Even could picture it set up and operating in my mind.</p>
<p>Lay the desired stone out so it faces north to south, meaning the desired cut is facing east to west. We know those in Egypt understood this simple principle and mastered it being the Pyramids are in alignment.</p>
<p>Over the stones fasten a wooden arch, similar to a small sapling tree bent over the stone. On top of the arch place the quartz Fresnel lens.</p>
<p>As the sun rises, it will come through the lens at an angle. As it rises and then sets throughout the day. It will then cut through the entire stone from side to side by using the path of the sun as the precision guide and saw blade.</p>
<p>Would there be any residue of such a thing happening? Yes, for the granules of rock that are melted away would turn to glass. This is easily noted in the video I shared on the previous post under this topic. As the person melted crushed rock into a ball of glass. Do we find glass in the desert of Egypt today? Yes we do, its called Libyan desert glass.</p>
<p>I am by far no expert in this field.<br />
But to me it looks like a duck&#8230; and quacks like a duck.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1283" title="blankbox" src="http://quietbuck.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/blankbox.gif?w=10&#038;h=10" alt="" width="10" height="10" /></p>

<h2><strong>~Earth Chakras and Vortices Repost~</strong></h2>
<p><img src="http://th00./fs28/PRE/i/2008/180/f/b/Earth_2584_by_taenaron.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Looking at Nature all around us, we cannot help but marvel at its raw beauty and rhythm. Planet Earth is a conscious and vibrant living entity. With its own free will, it is meticulously orchestrating a symphony of equilibrium and constant evolution, communicating with all its inhabitants, the solar system and the universe.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Ancient civilizations revered their host as a sacred entity: they believed her to be their “Great Mother” and often built their megalithic sacred monuments in areas they considered “Earth’s Highest Energy Vortexes” or “Earth Chakras”. Structures like Stonehenge, the Pyramids of Egypt and Mayan, Aztec, and Incan monuments along with many temples, churches and pilgrimage sites are now considered powerful energetic spots.</strong></p>
<h3><strong><img src="http://www.in5d.com/images/earth-chakras.jpg" alt="Earth Chakras and Vortices" width="500" height="317" />Location of the Earth&#8217;s Seven Major Chakras</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Ancient civilizations and modern esoteric traditions believe that the body of our physical blue planet materialized from a universal energy matrix and has a subtle structure, similar to the human energy field.<br />
This energetic structure peaks in seven major “Chakra Sites” located on each continent, where the strongest Energy Vortexes are situated. Hundreds of minor earth chakras are also spread all over the planet. They are believed to be spherical in shape, expanding in all three dimensional directions in a spiral motion, with a radius extending for hundreds of kilometers. They may either spin clockwise or anti-clockwise.</strong></p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><strong>Their location varies according to different traditions,but most accept the 7 main Chakras as being:</strong></p>
<h4><strong>1. Root chakra: Mt. Shasta, California, United States.</strong></h4>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.in5d.com/images/shasta.jpg" alt=" Mt. Shasta, California, United States." width="250" height="176" />Mt. Shasta is located at the southern end of the Cascade Range, which runs like a dragon from northern California, through Oregon, and through Washington to the Canadian border. There are many powerful mountains in this range, with Mt. Shasta and Mount Rainier – overlooking Seattle – the best known. If Shasta is the tail of this dragon, then Rainier is its mouth, or head. Impulses generated from Mt. Shasta, and directed to Mt. Rainier, resulted in the 1947 “UFO” phenomena gaining world attention. This increase in earth chakra transmission was in reaction to humanity’s introduction of atomic weaponry to conclude World War II.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Shasta is the most primal of the earth chakras. It is at the “base” of the world energy system. Here, the raw precursors of biological life are released into global circulation and development. Mt. Shasta regulates the universal life force prior to its integration into individual life forms and species. The energy of Shasta, as the first chakra, is like a geyser – a great uprush of life energy, or prana, without shape or structure.</strong></p>
<p><strong>When working with the forces of Mt. Shasta, it is vital to transfer all evoked energies to at least one of the other major world chakras. The life current of Shasta does not take form until it is transformed within one of the other great continental chakras. There are times when the transfer is from Chakra One to Chakra Two, or from One to Seven, for example. Factors which determine the direction of these transfers will be introduced and discussed later.</strong></p>
<h4><strong>2. Sacral chakra: Lake Titicaca, on the border of Bolivia and Peru</strong></h4>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.in5d.com/images/lake-titicaca.jpg" alt=" Lake Titicaca, on the border of Bolivia and Peru" width="251" height="170" />On the Island of the Sun, in Lake Titicaca, is found the Titicaca Stone, which is the geometrical centre for the second earth chakra. This is the world centre for the creation of new species, and significant evolutionary advances within existing species. In the human body, Lake Titicaca correlates to the sexual chakra. The difference is that the world second chakra governs all species, taking a special interest in positive mutations and evolutionary advancements.</strong></p>
<p><strong>From Titicaca is born what is truly New. This sequence, over the Aeons, of innovative births always points in the direction of the goal of life – everlasting life. How can life force and structure be combined in a way that overcomes entropy? The Earth wisdom of the Andes continually seeks to answer this question with ever-increasing clarity.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The undifferentiated life force of Chakra One, Mt. Shasta, is transmitted to Lake Titicaca via the great world ley artery – The Plumed Serpent. This life-giving telluric current encircles the world, and has its evocational home at the El Tule tree in Mexico. Lake Titicaca is one of the two greatest ley crossroads on Earth. The Rainbow Serpent intersects the Plumed Serpent at the Island of the Sun. These two gigantic ley arteries also cross each other on the island of Bali, in Indonesia.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you construct this second world chakra on a map, let the circumference pass through the junction of the Napo and Maranon rivers, near Iquitos, Peru, where the Amazon River begins. Notice that this great circle includes the heart of the Andes range, and includes many other sacred sites, such as Cuzco and Machu Picchu. All sacred sites within the expanded sphere of a world chakra partake of the same defining qualities. Thus, Machu Picchu is also a world second chakra force.</strong></p>
<h4><strong>3. Solar Plexus chakra: Uluru-Katatjuta, Australia</strong></h4>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.in5d.com/images/uluru.jpg" alt=" Uluru-Katatjuta, Australia" width="246" height="164" />These twin sites in the Northern Territory, Australia, comprise the world “solar plexus” chakra. Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock, is the more famous of the two. This large red monolith is, along with the Sydney Opera House, an icon of the smallest continent. Katatjuta, also called The Olgas, is equally impressive. Rather than one monolith, this site consists of a large number of massive red stones.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The global function of this chakra is to maintain the vitality of the Earth, and all living species. In the future, if there is a world art of immortal health, then the wisdom of this art will be gained from Chakra Three in central Australia. This wisdom is delivered to the rest of the world via the ley artery, the Rainbow Snake.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Rainbow Serpent travels the path of life. It arises from deep beneath the surface of the Earth, and first emerges at Uluru. The Uluru magick is then transmitted to Katatjuta via a special song line which exits Uluru on its western side from the cave of the hare wallaby, Mala Puta. Once in the natural cathedral of Katatjuta, the universal vitality force is shaped into the various designs suited to the many different species of life on Earth. After the “packaging” of solar plexus energies, in the Valley of the Winds, the Rainbow Serpent leaves this area from the large heart-shaped stone, Ngunngarra (scarlet Fuchsia),and travels on to Bali.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chakra Two energies from Lake Titicaca are directly sent to Chakra Three – Uluru and Katatjuta – via the world ley artery, the Rainbow Serpent, which crosses the South Pacific Ocean, sweeps underneath New Zealand, and enters the Australian mainland at Wilson’s Promontory.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In the ancient creation legends of “Dreamtime”, there is a story about a great ritual which has yet to be completed at Uluru. This ritual was meant to complete the great plan of the earth spirit. When the ritual is complete, then perfection will spread throughout the world, and death will disappear from all species. This event is symbolized by a great pole, or cosmic umbilical cord, which is destined to unite the Sun with the Earth – heaven with earth. It is predicted that this cord begins to function in 2020 AD, at the time of the rare Saturn-Pluto conjunction.</strong></p>
<h4><strong>4. Heart chakra: Glastonbury and  Shaftsbury, England</strong></h4>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.in5d.com/images/glastonbury-tar.jpg" alt=" Glastonbury and Shaftsbury, England" width="248" height="168" />Glastonbury, Somerset and Shaftesbury, Dorset define the centre of the world’s heart chakra. In order for the force of greater life to be directed to maximum effect, the Grail of Immortality must be permeated by the Wand of the True Will. Glastonbury is the home of the Holy Grail; and Shaftesbury is the high place of the Sacred Spear of Purpose. When the earth energies of Glastonbury unite with those of Shaftesbury, then the Rainbow Serpent ley artery is able to deliver the immortalizing frequencies of the Holy Grail to all beings worldwide.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The great circle of the Rainbow Serpent travels from Uluru to Bali to Mt. Kailas to Sergiev Posad (Zagorsk), then crosses Denmark before entering England near Great Yarmouth. As this broad ley river crosses England it sweeps through many famous sacred sites, all of which contribute to the world heart chakra. Avebury Stone Circle and the Tor at Glastonbury are perhaps the two most famous of these heart “acupuncture” points. If you imagine this ley artery as having width, then Shaftesbury is near its southern back, while Glastonbury is on the northern bank.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It was said during Medieval times that if the Abbot of Glastonbury married the Abbess of Shaftesbury, then their children would be wealthier than the King of England. This is an alchemical riddle. If you unite the archetypes of the two areas, then love is united with will in a way that is revolutionary. For those who study the Cabala, this alchemical formula unites Binah (Grail) with Chokmah (Wand). The Grail, directed by the Will of the Earth spirit, has the power to dissolve all boundaries between nations. If the heart of the Earth expands to its full circle, then – throughout the world – pain, suffering, and physical death among all species will fade from experience and memory.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The most famous legend of Glastonbury tells the story of Joseph of Arimathea and the Holy Grail. After the Resurrection of Jesus, Joseph shifted the archetype of Everlasting Life – the Grail – from Jerusalem to Glastonbury. This ritual act established the foundation for the eventual shift of the mobile world sixth chakra from the activation circle for the Aeon of Pisces, 2000 years ago, to the present Aquarian Aeon area in western Europe. Currently, the mobile sixth chakra is conjunct the world heart chakra.</strong></p>
<p><strong>To move world solar plexus energies to Chakra Four, the principal direction is from Uluru-Katatjuta to Bali to Mt. Kailas (Chakra Seven), to Sergiev Posad, Russia to Shaftesbury-Glastonbury. As this Rainbow Serpent force travels around the world it absorbs and releases information at the various sites. Shaftesbury, in particular, acts to decode information brought by the Rainbow Snake from Mt. Kailas, in Tibet.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It is also possible to shift the force from Chakra Three to Four by utilizing the opposite direction on the Rainbow Snake – from Uluru to Lake Titicaca, over the Azores, into Cornwall, and up to Glastonbury-Shaftesbury. Also, a simultaneous dual impulse in both directions would complete a great world circle involving the Following Earth Chakras: Two, Three, Four, Six, and Seven.</strong></p>
<h4><strong>5. Throat chakra: Great Pyramid of Giza and Mt Sinai, Egypt; Mt of Olives, Jerusalem.</strong></h4>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.in5d.com/images/great-pyramid.jpg" alt=" Great Pyramid of Giza and Mt Sinai, Egypt; Mt of Olives, Jerusalem" width="249" height="186" />The world “Throat” chakra, where the voice of Earth is emerging, is unique among the world sacred centres. Alone among the chakras, it is not on either the Rainbow Serpent (feminine) or Plumed Serpent (masculine) ley flows. By its spinning function this chakra does help to drive the force along the Rainbow Serpent path – but at a great distance. This sphere of fifth chakra energies, in the Middle East, is also a major component of another vital Earth structure – the Four Vortices, or Spinner Wheels, which regulate qualities related to the four elements of fire, air, water, and earth. Sacred sites related to these four areas will be described after this section on the seven world chakras.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For all of the earth chakras, the art of listening to the will of the Earth is something which needs to be mastered. Humans will never harmonise with the purpose of life until they learn to hear and respect the voice of the Earth spirit. Nowhere is this more crucial than in the Middle East, where the world throat chakra resides.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Earth is speaking, and no one seems to be listening. Imagine a Middle East where Jerusalem and Mecca are world heritage cosmopoli, open to all cultures. Imagine a Middle East that is at the world vanguard in advancing the respect for all beings – human and non-human – to live, and live abundantly. From Egypt to Iran, imagine a Middle East that is culturally united, and communicating to the rest of the world the art of everlasting life. The voice of the Earth is singing the gospel of life in this region. Who is listening?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Three sites are given here as best defining the centre of this chakra. Mt. Sinai, between the other two, is a useful point from which to construct the expanded circle. The Immortal Moses, who carried Cabalistic wisdom from out of Egypt, crossed the abyss and beheld Living Eternity at Sinai. The Great Pyramid is one of the few artificial earth chakras. Unite your own True will with the Highest Purpose of the Earth and, with energised enthusiasm, project this united force as a living word from out of the Queen’s Chamber of the Great Pyramid – or from the summit. The Mount of Olives, on the eastern edge of Jerusalem – overlooking the mystic Golden Gate – is a focus for Jewish, Christian, and Islamic futurism. If Immortality is the key, archetypal Word of this Aquarian Aeon, then this Word needs to be clearly heard, by all cultures, from the Mount of Olives. From here, let the Word of the Aeon open the Golden Gate, so that all beings may enter into full life within a planetary New Jerusalem – an eternal home to all species, cultures, and faiths.</strong></p>
<h4><strong>6. Third Eye chakra: Kuh-e Malek Siah, Triple border of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.</strong></h4>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.in5d.com/images/iran.jpg" alt=" Kuh-e Malek Siah, Triple border of Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan." width="190" height="138" />This earth chakra, like the others, has a geometrical centre and an ideal, expanded circumference. The difference is that this &#8220;third eye&#8221; moves 1/12th of the way around the world, to the west, at the dawn of each new Aeon. The great Aeons are determined by a slow revolution of the Earth&#8217;s axis. The names given to these Aeons are taken from the 12 signs of the zodiac. Currently, we are said to be leaving the Aeon of Pisces, and entering the Aeon of Aquarius. Sometime after 4000 AD, this shift occurs again, when the Earth enters the Capricornian Aeon &#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>When the time arrives, the Earth spirit sends out a signal which invites all interested forces to gather in a certain geographical area for the purpose of inaugurating a new age. As these forces coalesce, the world sixth chakra establishes itself, begins to operate, and expands. This chakra remains in place for 150 to 200 years &#8211; long enough for the new Aeon archetypes to be instituted &#8211; and then it dissolves. Over two millennia ensue, and then the call goes out again to gather 1/12th to the west.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The purpose of this activity is to distill the gathered wisdom of life on Earth from over the centuries, and then to use these fruits of wisdom to open new directions of Earth evolution. In each great Aeon, different themes are emphasised. Compassion, for example, was a key Word of the previous Piscean Aeon; physical immortality is the word of the new, emerging Aquarian Age.</strong></p>
<p><strong>At the present time (1904 to 2084) the sixth chakra is geographically conjunct with the world heart chakra in western Europe. In terms of time, this Aquarian frequency is at its most potent in April and May of 2008 AD. Worldwide cultural forces which accelerate at this time reach their full maturity in 2065 AD.</strong></p>
<p><strong>In many regions of the world, there are legends of the Immortals. Often, when these stories imagine a collective body of immortals, an invisible city is named. Examples of this are Pulaki (Bali), Shambhalla (Mongolia), Avalon (England), and The Church of the First Born (biblical). These legends interpret a revolutionary truth – immortality has existed for a long time on Earth. Often, the immortals follow very individualistic, solitary pathways, hidden from the outer world. Then, when the Earth spirit summons all forces for the birth of a new Aeon, many of these social misfits make new contributions to the new area and its new themes. This coalition is temporary, and, after the Aeon is activated, all parties resume their individual pathways for another 2000+ years.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Here is a list of the geometrical centres for the most recent Aeons, and for two future Aeons: Gemini &#8211; Tai Shan, China; Taurus ¬Mt. Belukha, Siberia; Aries &#8211; Kun-E-Malek-Siah, Iran; Pisces &#8211; Mt. of Olives, Great Pyramid; Aquarius &#8211; Glastonbury-Shaftesbury; Capricorn &#8211; near Recife, Brazil; Sagittarius &#8211; near Manaus, Brazil. (Brazil plays an important role in the next two Aeons, circa 4000 and 6000 AD.)</strong></p>
<h4><strong>7. Crown chakra: Mt. Kailas, Tibet.</strong></h4>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.in5d.com/images/mt-kailas.jpg" alt=" Mt. Kailas, Tibet." width="232" height="163" />Kailas is the most sacred mountain in the Himalayas, and is the centre of the world crown chakra. Located in Tibet, it is the focus for the annual Scorpio full moon event, in April or May. For the Earth, and for all immortals, this moon marks the new year, in terms of global evolution. For those who have never worked with the lunar calendar, this particular full moon, associated with Mt. Kailas, is a good place to start.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chakra Seven broadcasts the Earth purpose, or True Will. If we see the world as an architect, at work in building a global immortal structure, then the blue prints for this vibrant edifice are being released, year by year, from the crown at Kailas. For this reason, it is important to give one&#8217;s full attention to this annual full moon, in particular, to the 90 minute period leading up to the exact culmination time of the Scorpio full moon. It is at this time that an individual may find their own True Will illuminated by the Earth spirit. The design and details of one’s own work becomes clarified through this activity.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Work progresses through time. In addition to the annual lunar cycle, Kailas also releases information concerning larger time cycles. For example, the principal constructive activity of the mobile sixth chakra is controlled from Kailas, through four great 19 year time cycles based on special Scorpio full moons, from 1989 to 2065. These 19 year periods are sometimes called Great Wesak Cycles. A second, more frequent, 12 year cycle is also utilised by immortals in the building of the future. This 12 pattern is called the Melchizedek Cycle, and is initiated when Jupiter is in the sign of Aries. Recent Melchizedek starting points were in 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, and 1999. The next one will be in 2011. </strong></p>
<div><strong>There is a legend about the Lost Chord of Creation, somewhat like the story of the Holy Grail. If three lost notes could be found, and sounded together, then the world will unveil its eternal nature, and all things mortal will vanish. It is possible to reconstruct this lost chord by working with the earth chakras. Listen for the sound of praise emanating from Chakra Seven, Mt. Kailas. Hear the note of love sounding from Chakra Four, the world&#8217;s heart centre. Then hear the sound of joyous thanksgiving singing from Chakra Three, Uluru and Kata Tjuta. Have the creativity and wisdom to combine these three notes into one force, and then regenerate the world.</strong></div>
<p><strong>Like human chakras, Earth Chakras can be damaged or blocked affecting the areas surrounding them and the whole body of the globe. Ancient Druids and Shamanic cultures held festivals using sounds, drums and songs to thank and heal “Gaia”.</strong></p>
<h3><strong>Earth&#8217;s Energy Field</strong></h3>
<p><strong>A continuous interaction is believed to take place among the Earth’s major and minor Chakras through an “Earth Energy Field”. It is described as a matrix of connective pathways resembling the human circulatory, nervous, or acupuncture meridian systems.  Their intersection culminates creating high energy vortexes. Some are deemed positive in nature and others negative. The Himalayas and the Peruvian Inca territories are considered Positive Vortices. On the other hand, the Bermuda Triangle and the Devil&#8217;s Sea, east of Japan, were identified as “Vile Vortexes” or “Electromagnetic Disturbances” by American biologist Ivan P. Sanderson. He discovered twelve Negative Energy Spots, caused by hot and cold currents, symmetrically distributed at equidistant locations from the equator. Mapping those locations revealed an energetic network connecting them.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Many individuals studied the Earth Energy Field: historian Nikolai Goncharov, construction engineer Vyacheslav Morozov and electronics specialist Valery Makarov were a team of Russian researchers who detected a geometric grid pattern interlinking a wide number of natural phenomena, all establishing a single planetary energy system. Likewise,Professors William Becker and Bethe Hagens followed their predecessors’ results to chart an “Earth Energy Grid”. Becker stated: “&#8230; the Earth is really a living crystal being, with a geometric skeleton that could be mapped in its patterns of energy flows&#8230; in ocean currents, the winds, river systems, and distributions of precious minerals. It even seemed that ancient humans had known this sacred, hidden body of the Earth, and sited their civilizations to take advantage of her very visceral powers…”</strong></p>
<p><strong>The relationship between us and Earth has always been reciprocal: we are connected through an omnipresent universal energy. Unfortunately, our modern economy and the wide spread pollution have contaminated the planet. As the dominant conscious species on this planet, it is our duty to keep a healthy energetic flow by synchronizing our lifestyles to her rhythm and create a harmonious habitat for ourselves and other sentient beings.</strong></p>

<p>Second video from the musical duo comprising of Tim Norwind (OK GO) and Drea Smith (He Say/She Say). EP came out this past Halloween, and this is my first time hearing their sound. Also having a little girl sing your song is always a nice touch. Their EP &#8220;Human Beings&#8221; is out now, after a few listens, I will see if it is worth a pruchase, you should do the same.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Next weekend my heart is going to be half in the islands and half in England.  On Saturday Austin ta]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Next weekend my heart is going to be half in the islands and half in England.  On Saturday Austin takes part in an ultra trail marathon, from the village of Güimar to Garachico on the other side of the island, a distance of around 72 kilometers, which will take him halfway up a mountain and down the other side.  The following day Guy will complete in the London Marathon, running for asthma awareness, something from which he has suffered since he was tiny.  (Even if clouds of volcanic dust weren&#8217;t around I couldn&#8217;t make it to both events for other reasons, unless I were rich enough to have a private jet!). </em></p>
<p><em> A couple of weekends ago I chauffeured Austin up to Güimar one early morning, and collected him from Mt Teide later in the day.  My pride in him aside, it was the most stunning day of scenery and weather I&#8217;ve experienced in a long time.  This is what I wrote afterwards, filled out with some explanations of where and what various places are:</em></p>
<p>My day begins before dawn, not unusual, but today, as in “way before” dawn, glugging down strong coffee, and at 6 I am washing my car windows.  Living this close to the ocean they become claggy with salt spray and sand, and the previous night I’d had difficulty in seeing traffic in the rear view mirror.  Even this early there is plenty of traffic, the driving force of the South of the island is tourism, of course, so lots of shift workers, as well as tourists up early or out late, so it still takes me almost a half hour to get to Austin’s place, door to door.</p>
<p>As we head North East along the <em>autopista</em>, the ocean to our right, the sun begins to rise over the island of Gran Canaria.  Small, pink clouds are scattered around the horizon, but the sun rises huge, glowing and solitary over the island’s purple shape, before it disappears behind a bank of hovering cloud.  Hiding there it fires rays of light skywards and seawards.  We travel silently, in awe.</p>
<p>It takes us around 40 minutes to reach the village  of Güimar, where we turn away from the ocean and into the foothills.  As we being to ascend soft, white clouds nestle in the valleys above.  The storms of February and early March have bequeathed greenery, and the fields through which we pass are lush.    The village’s crooked streets meander down the hillside. Güimar  famous locally for being the site of 6 pyramids, which caused much excitement in the 1990s when Thor Heyerdahl took an interest in them.  Like many of his theories, it seems that nothing came of this, and they have been dated back only to the 19<sup>th</sup> century, although some Guanche remains were found in a cave under one of the pyramids.  Visiting the site, which is now a pleasant museum, is worth doing though.  As well as theories about the origin of these pyramids, speculation about links to others in South America and Egypt (Heyerdahl’s theories) it contains memorabilia and information about the man himself (including a reconstruction of one of his reed boats), who, if nothing else, was a great adventurer.</p>
<p>It’s only 7.30, but the people are stirring, the old guys are gossiping at the small, local gas station when I stop to fill up.  Onwards and upwards, we leave the village, and I drop off Austin on a country road, which seems to be the middle of nowhere.  Is the middle of nowhere.  Except that this is a small island, everything is relative, in miniature almost.</p>
<p>I turn around and drive slowly back through the town, noting some pretty, traditional cottages and features I want to come back to photograph some time.</p>
<p>Arriving home to an eager dog I quickly put on her lead and let myself out again.  It’s still early, little heat in the sun which sparkles on the ocean and reflects off the white wings of the gulls as they cruise overhead.  The wind is brisk and reminds me of the place in which I grew up, although it is considerably warmer at this time of year than the North West coast of England.  Waves crash onto rocks, but gently.  There is a lone windsurfer enjoying the early morning breezes.</p>
<p>Home again, more coffee, chores to do, and then Trixy and I pile into the car and set off for Las Cañadas del Teide (the Gullies of Teide).  As we leave the ocean behind vegetation grows thicker and greener, at San Miguel village we turn left and then right up to Escalona, and it is after Escalona that I really get the feeling that spring is in the air, even on this island they sometimes call The Land of Eternal Spring.</p>
<p>They say, and I have come close to experiencing, you can pass through all four seasons in one day on Tenerife.  That would be around this time of year, because summer and winter are quite distinct when you get used to them, and by Fall the flowers are withered from the summer heat.</p>
<p>Escalona lies at around 1,000 m above sea level, and you can miss it if you blink passing through, but from there up to Vilaflor, the highest village in Spain, the roadsides are strewn with California poppies.  The first time I saw these vivid yellow flowers lining the wayside I thought of crocus.  The poppies are the exact same shade of rich, golden yellow that I remember from England.  The sense of renewal is just the same as the first sight of Spring crocus in England.</p>
<p>The poppies, though a magnificent site, especially where they cover entire fields, are not native to the Canaries.  A quick search didn’t yield specific information about how or when they arrived here, but as the  Islands were a stopping off place/trading post between the Old World and the New for many, many years, perhaps there is no specific data.  Many plants and animals arrived that way, hopping, intentionally or not, from boats as they came and went between worlds.</p>
<p>The clag of the coast is left behind as I climb, and the air becomes sharper, fresher through the car’s open window.  The mountains ahead become clearer, the purple shapes become defined, crags and hollows appear. At around 1,400 m,  we skirt the village  of Vilaflor, which marks the treeline, and leave the flowers behind.  Now the landscape is populated by fir trees, and the ground is strewn with pine needles and fir cones.  Still we climb.  Many of the trees are blackened, witness to the last forest fire, which to the best of my memory was around ten years ago, but they flaunt their fate and rise into the blue with pride.</p>
<p>Now the trees begin to peter out, and the views on either side are breathtaking.  To my right I see the island of Gran Canaria again, from behind which I had seen the sun rise some three hours ago.  Now it rests majestically, a purple haze on an ocean of intense blue.  It is a glimpse, and then gone, as the road turns and climbs, now revealing the western side of the island, and the islands of La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro shimmering on that same Atlantic blue.  They seem to be hovering above the water, deep purple, with wisps and darts of silver-grey clouds melding so perfectly with their shapes you begin to wonder if the scene is real.  It’s hard to watch the road and the traffic, especially being aware that other drivers must be marvelling at the view and not concentrating too.</p>
<p>A turn, the ascent is slower, and we are in a different landscape.  It seems like a different planet.  We drive through a huge, flat bed of rough rocks.  There is no doubting that this is a lava field.  It feels as if it was spewed out only yesterday.  As we drive the rocks change color, shape, size, and monstrous shapes rise alongside the road.  We are driving through the caldera, the bed of a volcano.</p>
<p><a href="http://islandmomma.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/las-canadas-just-before-sunset-6.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1002" title="las cañadas just before sunset 6" src="http://islandmomma.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/las-canadas-just-before-sunset-6.jpg?w=225&#038;h=300" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>It is around 16 million years (depending on which theory you subscribe to) since Tenerife rose from the depths of the Atlantic, and 101 years since the last eruption, which was on the other side of the island from where we now are, but the sense of danger and strangeness, even to someone who has lived more than 20 years on this island is keen.  UNESCO named the National Park area a World Heritage Site in 2007, and generally that distinction is respected by locals and tourists.</p>
<p>In parts the road still bears marks from rockfalls during the recent storms.  Only a few short weeks ago this area was deep in snow, hard to imagine when the sun beats through the car windows.  As we reach the heart of the crater, to the right there is a parador, one of the chain of quality hotels set up by the government years ago, and to the left the weird, twisted, phallic rock formation we see on so many postcards.  Both areas swarm with tourists.  It is the beginning of the Easter holidays, so we give both a miss and drive on, past the cable car station and the traffic lessens considerably.  There are high winds today, and the cable car will certainly not be operating.</p>
<p>We are driving North now, and the road clings to the mountainside.  It’s one of those roads where you don’t really want to think about the drop on the other side, which would hurl you into one of those vast, unwelcoming lava beds, but there are plenty of neat, well-managed vantage points, where you can pull over, admire the awesome views and snap one another against the dramatic background.  The Canarian government is promoting the islands to film makers as a desirable location, and if you have seen the remake of “Clash of the Titans”, which released recently, you have seen samples of this barren landscape.</p>
<p>I pull into the least-busy layby and pull out my camera.  In the distance I can see the domes and towers of the observatory adding to the outer-space feel of the landscape.</p>
<p>Here it is fine pumice, looking like sand dunes, and the chill, high winds whip it up so it stings arms and face.  I let Trix out for a short walk and duck quickly back inside the hot car.</p>
<p><a href="http://islandmomma.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/img_3465.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1003" title="IMG_3465" src="http://islandmomma.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/img_3465.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>On to El Portillo, where the road branches, and you can meander down through forests to Puerto de la Cruz or take the right fork along the backbone of the island, over stark,</p>
<p>volcanic territory, past the observatory and down to La Laguna and  Santa Cruz, or you can branch off of that road and drop into Güimar, the way Austin has run up today.  I wait a while in El Portillo, let Trix sniff around a bit, but he doesn’t show, and since I am out of mobile range I deem it best to return to the Parador, where we had arranged to meet.</p>
<p>It’s a bit quieter when I return. I suppose the tourists went off for lunch somewhere, but I still have to wait for a parking space.  We amble around the rocks, and I snap some delicate, little flowers which cling to life amidst the stones and dead bushes, and the padlocked chapel which stands beside the parador.</p>
<p><a href="http://islandmomma.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/img_3530.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1004" title="IMG_3530" src="http://islandmomma.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/img_3530.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Austin turns up, sweaty, exhausted but exuberant.  He’s run around 45 kilometers from Güimar up and down hill, and aches all over.  He stretches, drinks a violently-pink-colored recovery drink and eats the appropriate amount of correctly balanced foods to restore energy levels and hydration.  For someone who has just completed a run of this difficulty and length he amazes me.  He is so calm, and he glows with health and well-being.  His self-discipline is awesome.</p>
<p><a href="http://islandmomma.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/img_3531.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1005" title="IMG_3531" src="http://islandmomma.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/img_3531.jpg?w=200&#038;h=300" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>We drive down, exchanging impressions of the landscapes and being thankful for the beauties and variety the day has brought.  Leaving the harsh, bright Summer, we pass through banks of Spring flowers again, and arrive back to the impossibly blue ocean where foamy, white waves beat the beaches.  It is only 4pm, but I feel as if I’ve had a trip around the world.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">from  tamila purvis and art director melanie kamsler</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">comes a totally lust worthy new jewelry line called maniamania and</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">that takes outer worldly crystals and statement making tribal</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">metal smithing and  puts it all into a modern collection.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">really inspired by this especially since i spent yesterday </p>
<p style="text-align:center;">weeding through tons of crystals at a gem show to then use on my own</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">collections.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">oh, and did i mention that the inspiration for these was the holy mountain?&#8230;</p>
