“Rerum Cognoscere Causas” – “to discover the causes of things” is the motto of the University of Sheffield.

So we beat on, boats against the current…

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter – tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… And one fine morning – So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

~ Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby

Out of time and out of place

The beauty of Saksun, Streymoy (Faroe Islands).

Saksun is a village located near the north-west coast of the Faroese island of Streymoy.
The settlement lies in the bottom of what used to be an inlet of the ocean, surrounded by high mountains. The fjord was a good deep natural harbour, until a storm blocked it with sand. This transformed the old harbour into a unaccesible seawater lagoon named Pollurin.
