Canterbury Knolls is a neighborhood on South Los Angeles's Westside. I explored, for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2014. It's probably most known as the home of the Slauson Super Mall (better known, still, as the Slauson Swap Meet). https://ericbrightwell.com/2009/12/01/california-fools-gold-exploring-canterbury-knolls/

The Wilde Flowers were an English psychedelic rock band from Canterbury, Kent. Formed in 1964, the group originally featured lead vocalist Kevin Ayers, lead guitarist and co-lead vocalist Brian Hopper, rhythm guitarist Richard Sinclair, bassist Hugh Hopper and drummer Robert Wyatt. Despite not releasing any material during their brief three-year tenure, the band are generally considered to be the originators of the Canterbury scene. After their breakup in 1969, the group's members went on to form numerous key bands within the scene, including Soft Machine, Caravan and Camel.

Amazing design of a starship and the words 'Rocinante - Corvette-Class Frigate'. Fitting for people who love The Expanse and scifi in general. It can also be given as a gift for your boyfriend, girlfriend or friend.

This compelling design beckons with the phrase "Work on Ganymede," evoking the thrill of extraterrestrial colonization and adventure. It portrays futuristic greenhouses thriving on the surface of Jupiter’s largest moon, set against a backdrop of an expansive Jovian landscape with the planet itself rising majestically in the sky. The image captures the essence of pioneering spirit and space exploration, appealing to fans of science fiction where humanity reaches beyond Earth to establish new frontiers amongst the stars. The visionary concept of cultivating life in celestial domains speaks to the dreamer and explorer in all of us, promising a life among the cosmos.

Canterbury Cathedral in Canterbury, Kent, is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England and forms part of a World Heritage Site. It is the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, leader of the Church of England and symbolic leader of the worldwide Anglican Communion. Its formal title is the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Christ at Canterbury. St Augustine’s original building (about 600AD) lies beneath the floor of the Nave – it was extensively rebuilt and enlarged by the Saxons, and the Cathedral was rebuilt completely by the Normans in 1070 following a major fire. There have been many additions to the building over the last nine hundred years, but parts of the Quire and some of the windows and their st...

The name for Canterbury bells means "little bells" since the flowers are bell-shaped.

The Hooker Valley Track is one of the best half-day walks in New Zealand. Not only is it an easy, relatively even walk on a gravel path, but you get amazing views of the Southern Alps for your entire trip -- and that view constantly changes, sometimes including glacial lakes, other times including rushing river rapids, and most times including Mount Cook/Aoraki, the tallest mountain in New Zealand. Read more about my experience on the track at http://www.bootsandabackpack.com/how-the-hooker-valley-track-nearly-killed-my-dad/.

The usual brilliant blue of Lake Tekapo briefly turns pink as the sunset lights up the heavy clouds.

Since we didn't have any set plans for this day -- except for driving to our next apartment -- we took the long way around, meaning we took a random road we found up the east side of Lake Pukaki (the main road to Mount Cook goes up the west) and drove until we felt like turning around. We found plenty of isolated spots along the lake and only had to share them with a few other people. This view was my favourite, even if it meant climbing up a large boulder with a bunch of rather worried family members looking on!

Big Canterbury cross decor. From ancient times, it was believed that the cross is a symbol of the unity of the four earthly elements: earth and fire, air and water. The symbol also reveals the relationship between time and space, energy and information. Сross is a sign of human harmony with the world.

It was mesmerising watching the clouds from our holiday house in Tekapo. They rolled over the hills in patterns, sneaking down the valleys before they evaporated back into nothingness. It was like a waterfall made completely of clouds.

The skies light up over the Kaikoura Peninsula in the South Island's Canterbury region. Seriously, everything about NZ is gorgeous!

Set against a star-studded sky, this design captures the spirit of interplanetary exploration with astronauts treading across the rusty terrain of Mars. Geodesic domes housing future colonies dot the landscape, suggesting a thriving settlement on the Red Planet. With bold, retro-style lettering that proclaims "Travel to MARS," the artwork pays homage to the classic age of space travel posters, inspiring a sense of adventure and the pioneering spirit of space exploration. It's an invitation to the dreamers and the stargazers, the future astronauts, and the fans of space travel lore, igniting the imagination with the possibilities of cosmic adventures.

Gorgeous wispy clouds floating high above Mount Cook and the Hooker Valley. The clouds here were crazy in the way they can only be in the mountains.

The insanely blue waters of Lake Tekapo and the mountains beyond. The lake gets its colour from suspended 'rock flour' ground up by the Godley Glacier that feeds the lake. This also happened to be the view we had out the bedroom window in our holiday house in Tekapo (although it should be noted that this was taken with a telephoto to avoid the houses on the other side of the road from us).
