    Default Cemetery

    Visited Frankfurt Cemetery. Haunting place. Beautiful place.




    This grave site - The guy was a millionaire in the early 1900s; philanthropist, all that. Long before his death he commissioned this memorial for himself and his family. Yadda Yadda Yadda, he died nearly homeless and broke.





    Look closely at the name on this next one - Yes, that's him. THE guy for whom the affliction is named.



    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Great pics!

    I really didn't expect Old Europe to be so... woodsy. After thousands of years of people clearing land, farming and building houses in a relatively small area I kinda thought most forests would be somewhat limited.

    Thanks!

    They are - uh - land nazis here. They tightly control deforestation. In fact, lots of times freeways, etc, are dropped below the level of the land to not be ugly. And I love it.

    Lots of wild space here.
