Sunday mornings is my time. I wake up early, usually around 5am, so that I can have a coffee and prepare my things for a morning ride. I’m a (Sunday) cyclist and have been cycling for many years. It’s a ritual that is not only good for physical health —I have a resting heart rate of someone may years younger— but it is very good for the mind too.
Some Sundays I’m rewarded with the most beautiful scenery.

No. Battery.
My DSLR’s battery had died overnight, apparently from my stupidity. Not switching it off and placing screen down with the lens pointing up, pressed buttons that eventually ran the battery down.
Reaching for my iPhone to take the photo only resulted in disappointment.

The World Blockchain Forum kicked off in London this past Sunday and runs for 3 days. The Forum is a roaming event that takes place all over the world and multiples times a year.
One of the most beautiful periods in the year, September, gives us stunning sunsets almost daily, like tonight’s you can see above.
But we know that a storm is often around the corner and that September is the most deadly period of the hurricane season, that runs from June 1st through to the end of November.
