Pictures from the sky

Running
11Km in 57:56, average pace 5:15. Quite comfortable today, certainly much better than this time last week, should have run more of a 5:25 pace for a recovery run though. Work got really frustrating today, thank goodness all that was forgotten about 2Km into the run.

Rambling

How cool is this, it was spotted on Google Earth, it is a rock formation about 255 meters across in Canada



On the topic of really cool things that can only be seen from high up, this gives me an excuse to post this, it is in Uffington in Wiltshire in the UK.



And this seemingly innocuous rocky outcrop is the site of Tintagel Castle in Cornwell, this is where King Arthur lived. Underneath is Merlins Cave, Merlin dreamed of a white dragon and a red dragon fighting, this was a premonition of the Saxon invasion of England. The red dragon will be familiar now as it appears on the Welsh flag. No prizes for guessing that I have Cornish ancestory.
