“There’s no limit to the human capacity for the homing sentiment.”
~ Edward Abbey
Like a beacon, our Concepcion Volcano on Ometepe Island is my guide home.
From the bell tower in Granada, Concepcion shows me the way home.
Concepcion volcano points the way home from the ferry in San Jorge.
As we get closer, Concepcion signals home with puffs of smoke from the depths of her restless bowels. Go back to sleep my gorgeous beacon.
Concepcion is our signpost that we have arrived.
From the air, her presence dominates the view.
Concepcion is the homing device in our backyard. On clear days, we can see both Concepcion, our active volcano, and Maderas, our dormant volcano.
While kayaking, she is our compass to lead us home.
Flying into our airport is a dramatic experience as Conception looms in front of the landing planes.
No matter where we are on Ometepe, we are always guided home by our magnificent sleeping giant.
We live in peace as she guards over us. She is truly our beacon of home.
What is your Beacon of Home?
We have a giant red rock mountain where we live. You can see it from all over town, so I guess that’s our beacon home.
Ah, the photos transported me back, and yes, Concepcion is quite the beacon…
Great post!
Hola Lisa, mi amiga. Concepcion will guide you to my home when you are ready for a vacation. Jeje
si and the magic carpet could line up with concepcion and land even during the new moon! where would you like to go?
Could you take us to Fiji and New Zealand? We are leaving in two weeks for over a month, but we are not looking forward to the looooong flight. We leave on a Friday and arrive on Sunday. YIKES. Sure wish I could take your magic carpet instead.
Wow! How great – you two deserve a change in longitude and latitude! How nice of you to include me, and yes, the magic carpet transports us there as if we’re in a dream. Pack your ‘bubble wand’ and we’ll blow happpy bubbles over the planet!
quite a landmark to always have in view…
That it is, Annette. 🌋
