RETURN FROM ARTHUR RIVER

arthur river, really "the edge of the world" :   howling wind,  even where i was staying, two km from the beach,  the sea at night sounds like a freight train: no break in the waves' constant roaring up onto the shore. 

at the EOTW marker on at the end of Gardiner Point, difficult to stand up in the nonstop wind.... and equally powerful to know that there is NOTHING west from that point until South America, 10,700 miles away; the line misses South Africa by 300 km.  As the sun sets into the ocean here,  it is rising on Patagonia........

pix when i have a faster connection.

    You are cracking me up with your words. You really are quite humorous.
