Another shot of St Michael's Mount. Just as the water was dropping off the causeway.

A woman with her back to camera walking out into the sea. Just visible under the water is a cobble stone path she is walking along. In the distance a small island is rising from the sea. It has a castle on the top of a hill rising steeply from the water.

I'm In Marazion. This causeway to St Michael's Mount is completely under water at high tide. We just walked across with the low tide.

This is one of the most picturesque views in Cornwall - I might post more pictures of it over the next few days.

It's also where Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon filmed. St Michael's Mount is Dtiftmark.

A cobblestone causeway running between seaweed covered stones. At the end of the causeway a castle stands on the top of an island rising high out of the sea.

A monochrome photograph of a quiet, deserted road cutting through the stark landscape of southern Iceland. The white lines along the tarmac lead the eye toward a dark, looming cliff face in the distance. Heavy clouds hang low in the sky, adding a sense of weight and emphasising the isolation and scale of the open surroundings.

In the coal-choked air of northern England, two men stood at the edge of something hurried. Edward Pease, the quiet Quaker businessman infused with Inner Light, and George Stephenson, the self-taught colliery engineer, did not seek revolution. Stephenson, who stretched out his hand to machines and they answered, built machines the way some men pull knives: quick, necessary, without apology. Pease, with bones made of caution and currency, saw something stirring in the firebox and whispered into the void of capital: make it go. They wanted coal, and what they got was a piston god of motion. Movement. That was the whole idea. Not fantasy, nor theory. Movement. Rail didn’t emerge from intellect. Between thought and deed, there is a breath. Then, it roared out of want. The world wasn’t waiting for a machine. It was waiting for someone to say: yes.

But what they really wagered was belief. Dreams make for good stories, but everything vital happens when we are awake. Their belief fused innovation with purpose. Together, they didn’t just lay rail through earth, through doubt, through every stillborn hesitation. Iron tore into the skin of England and bled steam. It was cut into us.

We like to think of science as objective, but it goes nowhere without people finding connection. Like Watt and Boulton before them, these two stood in soot and steam, forging trust. Trust takes people—flawed, brilliant, unsure—and binds them to the steel line of becoming. Science moves through us like longing, but don’t tell me this was science. It was visceral. Faith and fear. The kind that tightens around one’s ribs and says: make something happen or die frightened.

They say the best way to fashion the future is to invent it. In that dangerous business, they succeeded. They invented speed and network. Yet, they didn’t invent the future. They drove it through the body. Had they hesitated, the world might still be waiting. But they didn’t. So now we burn.
