Magic Travel<br />
Moments<br />
Highlight those (many) travel moments in<br />
my life when things have ‘sparkled’.<br />

How green can green be?<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ing at the parapet to one side of a<br />
small, oddly-shaped plaza at the top of<br />
an impressive, rocky crag that always<br />
takes me by surprise.... having walked up<br />
a steep, winding path, then climbed higher<br />
along an old, narrow, house-lined street,<br />
the family began to take in the magnificent<br />
scenery on offer.... mountain upon mountain,<br />
variable slopes, birds circling close by us,<br />
deep blue summer skies, not too many<br />
people crowding us.<br />
Looking to my left, a rocky outcrop juts out<br />
defiantly from the crag.... on it is silhouetted<br />
the wall of an old cemetery.... I felt as if I was<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ing on another planet.<br />
I turned back to the view in front of me.<br />
Something made me look downwards....<br />
far below me stood the greenest lake I have<br />
ever seen! The lake was actually rather small,<br />
the water as still as glass, but the ‘green’<br />
shocked my senses. It was unreal, certainly<br />
not ‘normal’, <strong>and</strong> it challenged the ‘Laws of<br />
Nature!<br />
How could water be so green? The<br />
mountains looked ‘normal enough’ to me,<br />
the weather had not changed....<br />
it was another, unforgettable “Magic<br />
Moment”.
