The beauty and Sound of nature
28th Feb 2016 ...is what I wanted to see on my travels this year, and today was another one. It was silent on the ship, the ferry, as we glided through enormous bay sheltered by mountains all around. We stood, grouped at the front, but hardly a sound as we all took in the majesty …
