Humanities & marine ecology foster critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and a deep appreciation for cultural diversity, enabling us to interpret human progress and challenges from multiple perspectives. Letting us understand intricate relationships within ocean ecosystems that sustain life on Earth

Yesterday we celebrated #WorldMaritimeDay!
Our home is the blue planet, with 70% covered by water. The study of humanities and marine ecology together offers a profound lens for understanding the development of our world.

Open Heritage Days, so time for my yearly pilgrimage. First stop: Strangford Lough. Low tide, so could walk a bit inward. I always wave to my friend who lives on the other side, and absolutely love seeing the Mournes vaguely looming in the far distance.

I did grow up in sight of one of Ireland's oldest castles, on Strangford Lough AONB. Lovely town - except actually living there. Nope. Lost a shoe in the castle grounds after a night out. Some archaeologist will be pondering that one day.
This is a seriously dull bunch this week. Wooden 💤

Lavenham looks absolutely gorgeous though. We don't have those sorts of medieval buildings in NI outside of castles. Old timber-framed haunted pub would be a dream stay #fourinabed

His views...

The Mournes and the Dromara Hills. Behind him towards the Isle of Man. And Strangford Lough.

We did a job in County Down. Downpatrick if I recall. We stayed at Strangford Lough, I remember that. A beautiful place. It was many years ago.
My first time in NI, I thought i might be unwelcome, not so, I found the locals friendly and warm.

(Probably Strangford Lough oysters. Not that they will own up to such a thing.)

While dangerous, Strangford Lough is full of whirlpools and tidal surges, it seems to have a couple of orders of magnitude fewer deaths over the same time period that in Lake Lanier saw around 700 deaths. That's wild to me.
