Fresh water stream in Transylvania mountains!

~ J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings

When sunlight lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold, Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees unfold.

The pines whisper in the way pines do,
The sun bathes the treetops,
The Earth is gift to us, let us be a gift to Earth.

There's a #waterfall in #exmouth !

Rock waterfall: Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
