"We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing each other". - Luciano de Crescenzo
I love old things, the older the better. I love history, again the older the better. I love reading about peoples stories and memories. I haven't traveled around the world, I've been to Australia, I've been to Wellington, Queenstown, Nelson, Tauranga, the Far North and Northland. We are due to go to Fiji for a week at the end of July but we think maybe next year we may explore the South Island.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

When we visited the cemetery and Brown graves at Te Arai I could imagine the old settlers walking up there, or with a horse and cart, for a funeral.
History is fascinating, and by avoiding tourist traps we found much more and deeper history in quiet corners, in our 4 months in your islands
On my recent trip to Italy, I saw so many very, very old places and buildings and I always want to know what it must have been like when they were built. I wish they could talk.
I've always found cemeteries to be quite peaceful.
Amy I've been fortunate enough to have lived for ten years at opposite ends of the earth. However I didn't regard myself as a traveller. Europe is a fairly small place in terms of travelling but I've only travelled to many of the Western European countries. My brother has never been out of Britain. He's never felt the need. He can't now even if he wanted to but he maintains that there is still so much of Britain to explore that he sees no need to venture further.
I'm a big fan of old things too - interesting statue
one can always explore no matter how far/close to one's home. enjoy your Fiji trip.
Cemeteries tell so many stories.
So much history out there to discover!
I know, me too. I like the old times. If there's a time machine, I'd choose to go back in time instead of forward.
Worth a Thousand Words
An amazing looking cemetery and beautiful sky. I'm also fascinated by people and their stories and history.
Great post.
Hello, I like visiting the old cemeteries. Great photos. Your trip to Fiji sounds great. Enjoy your day, have a happy weekend!
Beautiful place
Nearest I have been to you is Japan or is it Hongkong. Love that cemetery looks like a lot of ours
Peaceful and beautiful. You live in such an exciting place ... I’d love to visit (if only I were closer to your age instead of at my ancient one)).
