Steep Community

Cardamom Tea..

Good tea and deep connections both need time to steep.. ☕

Dating/social apps

Just gonna call a spade at this point. Do these apps actually work for finding what people are looking for or are these apps contributing to the steep decline in people self-confidence? Anyway, here a sunset:

S-Y-S

Seven years sober still pushing that boulder. Seven years older with that devil on my shoulder. Every year I fight on like a soldier. Every day trying to be bolder. Seven years with his whispers in my ear. Seven years saying things I wish not to hear. Every year dealing with that fear. Every day… read more

Returning to Castle Hill

I cycled yet again today up Castle Hill, this time in the very early morning (starting ~4:40am). This time I made it to the first car park (which is about 70 metres above sea level) before parking my trike and walking the rest of the way. I managed to reach the summit of the hill (which is 286… read more

Steep steps down to sea level

Sunrise in the North

Due to the high latitude, the sun rises almost in the north in summer, whereas it barely reaches over the southern horizon in the winter. This picture of my lovely way to work (from where I currently parked my caravan) shows the first rays of the sun behind this peculiar little hamlet I currently… (edited) read more

Took a trip to the lake.

Lots of mosquitos, beautiful lil' flowers and a steep ass hill. It was worth it.

No matter how long I waited for you

No Matter How Long I Waited for You No matter how long I waited for you, my heart never grew tired. The passing seasons could not wear away my hope, nor could silence convince me to give up. Time simply became another companion, walking beside me until the day our paths finally crossed. And when… read more

The Climb vs. The Calm

We spend so much of our lives trying to reach the "top" - scaling the steep monuments of our careers, our goals, and our desires. We are convinced that the best view, the ultimate clarity, and the truest sense of peace are waiting for us at the summit. But look at the contrast in this single frame.… read more

23km journey to Shelly Cove and back

Today, I cycled for about 21km and walked about 2km when I reached the Shelly Cove trail as it was too steep for me to successfully bike it. I also found the terrain a bit too treacherous for me to feel safe biking it. This makes this trip my longest trip so far. Was a wonderful trip; the weather… read more

Kintamani, Bali

This is the morning view from Pinggan Village, Kintamani, Bali. Getting here isn’t easy—the road is pretty steep and challenging, so make sure your car or motorcycle is in good condition. But trust me, it’s 100% worth it. If you’re lucky, you’ll be greeted by a sea of clouds with the stunning… read more

A5 Japanese Wagyu

This is one of my favorite spots in New York. The Wagyu here is excellent, but a little steep. definitely a once in a blue experience. Ideal for a special night 🌹 🥂

Myra Canyon

Missed a week or so of hiking. Low energy, but that's no excuse for being idle. So dragged myself up the mountains once again. Flying solo as usual. Maybe one day someone will join me on these dumb adventures. Old rail road overhanging steep cliffs. Mixture of volcanic deposits, glacial deposits,… read more

More Than Passion

I find that many are eager to share the sunlight of one’s life, but few possess the nobility to stand beside one in the shadows. I crave a love that is more than a feeling, it must be a deliberate act of consideration. Give me a heart that views loyalty as a sacred duty and refuses to retreat when… read more

Is my experience of cycling unusual?

Around March, I started walking on the advice of my therapist. After about a month of this, I gave up on it, as my feet and ankles became intolerably achy and sore. I could stand my feet being a bit sore immediately after a walk, but the pain persisted for days, even when I cut back the walking… (edited) read more

Mt boucherie

This hike is a steep climb. The descent was very perilous. Views are worth the climb. Would do again. Wild mountain flowers are blooming again 🤷‍♂️ Some people say it's dumb to solo hike, I don't have an alternative. I've got no social circle, so impulsive hikes are definitely going to continue 🫡

Halt

Spent some time stopped here The most convenient international airport closest to the place of my birth. Fir a steep price you can park here and not go outside to get to the terminal(s) lol or take a bus but it's Connecticut and hardly anyone takes a bus lol The ground floor is also a bus… read more

Cape Pallarenda Conservation Park

Today, I cycled to Cape Pallarenda Conservation Park and hiked to Shelly Beach again. I also returned up Shelly Beach trail and ascended a bit further into the mountain to see if I could get some better views. I achieved a maximum altitude of 38 metres above sea level, at least according to Google… read more

100/80/60 rule of dating

This is something tbst I came up with for myself while navigating the world of dating. Perhaps it will help you, too: For me, the happiest that I can ever me while single and childless is 80%. Some might call that pessimistic, but I know that I could be happier if I was married and had children.… read more

These words come back to my mind every time I use this app; everyone should read them.. The paradox of our time,George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less… read more

Airai Bai, Palau 🇵🇼

Airai Bai is the oldest bai (men's meeting house) built around 1890, it serves as a vital cultural, spiritual and civic center for the local community. This building is 21 m long and 6 m wide, with a steeply pitched roof reaching a height of 12 m. It was constructed using local materials of wood… read more

Every steep counts but ima jump ahead

One sided love..

This road is long, this road is steep, Not one the faint of heart can keep. For ours's a bond no strings define, Yet somehow still, your soul meets mine. A stringless kite against the blue, Still finds the strength to soar on through. And all this restless heart can do, Is wait to hear one knock… read more

Okaya, Japan

Few pics from a recent trip to Japan. Staying next to Lake Suwa in Nagano, visited a shrine from a game a mate of mine plays, before a long and steep walk to the top of one of the hills, somehow there was a car museum up there. Initially it was going to be a hike over the full mountain ridge to… read more

Puy-en-Velay

While discovering the quaint towns of southern France, I stumbled upon this magnificent old church built atop a very steep needel-like mountain rising up in the middle of Puy en Velay. I can just imagine the buff leggs the priests must have if they climb the stairs up to that church daily. I guess… (edited) read more

Cnicht Wild Camp

3 dayer in Snowdonia (my English brain can’t comprehend Welsh). Late night hike, doing some night navigation with head torches and an OS Map (OL17), camped by a small lake after about 2 hours of hiking. Temp dropped overnight to about -2°C which wasn’t expected, steep climb through the boggy… read more

It was one of those Corpus Christi, Texas days when the air was so watery you felt you could almost steep tea in it just by leaving a tea bag outside. Dew point of 84°F! 💦 (edited)

Travel Mood

The climb is steep, the path rocky, but the air is pure and the feeling is unmatched among these magnificent trees.

The Symphony of Strong Hands: Building a Base for Connectivity

High up on a steep hillside covered in chir pine trees, there was no road for heavy machinery [1]. To build the new Nepal Telecom (NTC) tower, the construction crew had to rely completely on human strength. Without a JCB, the workers used picks and shovels to complete the manual excavation,… read more

Sharing for funsies - Written 02-Nov-2023

A quiet rumble rolls across the sky of my mind. At least, that's how it started. The light in my eyes dimmed for what was eternity. A darkness too pure enveloped the expanse of who I am. Strong, defiant, cruel, it sucked all the best parts of me locking them away so they may never shine. A husk was… read more

Attractiveness

I think it’s my forties talking but women under 25 don’t do it for me any more. The early 30’s is attractive but 35 and up I just want to just massage the long woke day away and steep you in a coconut citrus bubble bath. 🤣

Old miners tunnel in Merthyr Tydfil

It was an absolute pain in the backside walking down a very steep muddy sheep path in the valley

Every Step, Every Struggle

Mt. Arayat was no easy climb! Steep trails, challenging ascents, and tired legs tested my strength and endurance. But every step was worth it when I finally made it through.

Trek + good company = perfect weekend 🏞️

Kalavantin Durg gave me the best mix of thrill and peace steep climb, loud laughs, and that top view silence I’m that person who cracks jokes mid-trek but stops to admire the clouds too 😄☁️ If that sounds like your vibe, say hi, let’s explore together next time!

Finally I’m about to tick off the first steep and show them I’m the boss
