My take on this is “throwing something in various random directions”which is what this fisherman appeared to be doing with his line.

Of course you could also say that the pebbles on this beach at Budleigh Salterton are also scattered randomly. It only took around 400 million years to make this beach.
Please visit Paula to see her wonderful scattering of raindrops.
Paula’s (Lost in Translation) challenge this week is Three of a Kind
maybe not quite what Paula had in mind, but hard to resist a pub sign like this in a back street of St Ives, Cornwall 🙂
For more Cornish views please pop over to my new blog.
Paula’s (Lost in Translation) challenge this week is Tall.
Following her idea of a lighthouse I have opted to show this  beautiful blue and white striped pepper-pot structure, which is topped by a small glass beacon.
During the 1750s, on a rocky shoulder overhanging the sea, a small fort was erected that was part of the maritime defence of Cascais until the 19th century. In 1762 it was modernized, and began its function as a lighthouse in 1868 after losing its military value.
In the lighthouse museum are gathered representative pieces that illustrate its activity whilst it was a lighthouse, featuring a series of optical devices from the 19th and 20th centuries as well as an audiovisual centre where a multilingual documentary about the lighthouses of Portugal is exhibited.
You really need to wear good sunglasses when visiting this site – the white glossy tiles of the exhibition centre and auditorium throw off a blinding light in the sunlight which quite hurts the eyes! The tiles are laid slightly unevenly so the apparently plain surfaces catch the light and have a subtle iridescent quality.
I have been promising to show this to my blogging friend Jo for a very long time! I hope she enjoys it 🙂
Paula’s Thursday Special this week features Meg as a guest challenger and her topic is Calligraphy. Please take a look. You won’t be disappointed.
My immediate thought was of the Chinese Garden of Friendship in Sydney. I would have liked to have looked for a less literal translation, but I hope these will do. This wonderful oasis in the city made me feel calm and relaxed and balanced. In harmony you could say.
Do take a close look at the bamboo.
