Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Continuous
–
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.~ William Wordsworth

The water wheel of a mill in Maastricht. It is still used as main energy source for the bakery.

I used that poem recently as a base for describing a goal scored in football! *Hey, it was a challenge!)

The first machine is part of a very old clock, attached to huge bronze bells. A fascinating device.
