How to get away from Cape Foulwind
With a name like Cape Foulwind, you may understand why you want to get away. And how far you must go.
Here the Europeans, the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, anchored in Aotearoa (and later naming it New Zealand), for the first time in 1642. The weather was probably good, and he called the outcrop Cliff Rock.
Then the English Captain James Cook found this place in 1770 under probably worse conditions. He named it Cape Foulwind. Since the English won the competition of ruling Aotearoa, the name stuck.

Signs, and what to do
This signpost is close to the fur seal colony in Tauranga Bay, on a windy, salty and fresh spot to get a good outlook of the area. On this track going south from Cape Foulwind Lighthouse there are stiff cliffs down to pebble beaches and the Tasman Sea, and low rolling hills towards the mountains in east.
This area is a nice spot to stop, relax and enjoy the outlook and beach, especially if you are a surfer. Or hike along the trails and exhibit some coastal flora and fauna of the West Coast Region in South Island. And some fresh, varying weather conditions.
Included an old, secluded track-and-bowl-system near the lighthouse.
The seal colony is well protected, but easy observable from a safe distance from the walking track. The closest town is Westport, and they have all necessary amenities from lodging to food, drinks and hiking equipment.

Burning gifts and wish for the ancestor’s support

Tomb Sweeping Day, “Cheng Meng” in Khmer, is a festival to honour the ancestors. The festival is of Chinese origin. Qingming is celebrated in Cambodia among the Chinese exodus, and among Khmer with intermarriage or with other strong relations to Chinese culture.
As it is a celebration of Spring, this festival is in the first week of April after the current Roman Calendar. It is not an official holiday in Cambodia, and it is often celebrated in Khmer families on one of the weekend days closest to 1st of April.
An important part is for the families to bring forth offerings, food, drink, incense, gifts and prayers for luck and support.
The burning of incense and paper gifts are burned during this festival too. The idea is that this sends gifts to relatives who have died. Burning paper items such as villas, money, household items, motorbikes and cars is the transmission of the items and materials to one's ancestors.
This will give the ancestors a better and more comfortable afterlife. In return the ancestors will give blessings and luck to the family.

Tranquility, Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi

A quiet spot in a big city.

It is the most famous city lake in Hanoi, Hoan Kiem Lake, and it offers peace too. Even if the rest of the area is bustling with activity in the evening.

The city lake of Hanoi are one of my favorites in Asia, particular in the evening when people are using it as a social arena. Both by locals and visitors. It is a place to meet, greet, eat and drink, and to read, quietly observe or seeking inner peace. The park and the lake is big enough even for rather peaceful activities.

The area around the lake is already used for morning classes and individuals doing Tai Chi.

And now meditating people is adding to their numbers mornings and evening.

The concept of meditating in public spots has been on the rise the later years, according to local media.

https://e.vnexpress.net/news/life/trend/vietnamese-take-increasingly-to-navel-gazing-4201820.html

Hogan Kiem Lake is a must visit in the center of classic Hanoi, the capital of modern Viet Nam. Both day and evening.

Photo shows a man in white shirt sitting in meditation pose on the low wall surrounding Hoan Kiem city lake. In the background is the lake water disturbed by evening breeze, and in the background on the other side of the lake there are bokeh-typical shapes of colourful lights and buildings. The mans position is framed by low hanging green branches of trees on both sides. He sits on some sort of lightly coloured plastic mat, and his sneakers are placed neatly together to the right. It is a photo taken just after sunset, and the artificial light on the man is soft warm, while the background is a colder blue hue.

Getting a memory for life at Tháp Hòa Phong, four favourable winds tower

Hoa Phong Tower, Tháp Hòa Phong, at the southeast end of Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi is where you spot current bridal fashion in Viet Nam.
The ladies here are already engaged, of course. But it is a happy spot flourishing with photographers, their assistants, equipment, and some very happy looking ladies in bridal costumes.
And some grooms-to-be, waiting to get ordered around by all the others.
They probably need this general rehearsal in preparation for their new life. directions.
Favourable winds for life ahead
The tower is the only remains of the Bao An pagoda-complex situated on this spot. This was in the historical centre of Old Hanoi.
Hoa Phong means 4-season favourable winds, the tower having four gates looking in four directions. No wonder this is considered a fortunate spot to start a marriage.

Tern with catch of the day over elvish landscape

There are several reasons why New Zealand are used for adventure films.

Light and colours are two obvious reasons.
Flora, fauna and landscape are others.

Personally, when watching the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, I am a bit disappointed they do not really shows how awesome New Zealand is.

Better visit Aotearoa in person.

"Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry, for everything that I've done
But when I call you never seem to be home..."

A sea lion and her pup. Taken with a proper, physical distance.
It is an early morning just after sunrise north of Dunedin, in Otago, South Island, Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Thanks to Adele for lyrics describing the scene.

Photo shows two fur seals, a grown up mother and a small pup. The mother is looking searchingly and warningly towards the photographer. The pup is looking curious in the same general direction. The seals are in shades of brown fur from light to dark, with some black and white details for the mother, and mostly darker brown for the pup. They both have very visible whiskers. They are on a light grey sandy beach, with a small rock the size of the mummy seal in the background.
