Trevor - a photo on Flickriver

Trevor

            Waterscape 8/100 for 2025.

Hi everyone, this is Trevor. Trevor, this is everyone. Trevor & I first crossed paths in Norway back in 2017. He’s a proud native of Flåm, a picturesque little town nestled among the fjords, home to waterfalls, scenic railways, and a thriving population of self-respecting trolls just like Trevor. But despite the breathtaking views, Trevor had itchy feet. Though to be fair that may have just been the lichen. Either way, he was keen to see more of the world.

Over a couple of beers, because most of my best ideas come when drinking beer, we struck up a deal. He’d join me on my European adventures and, if he behaved himself, make the long journey back to Australia with me. Turns out, he was an excellent travel companion! He never snored, never complained, and, unlike a certain wife I shan't mention, never rolled his eyes when I stopped to take yet another photo of him in precarious situations. There are snapshots of Trevor at airports, train stations, castle courtyards, beer gardens, atop Swiss Alps, and generally being as dramatic as only a troll can be.

That said, he does have his quirks. The sun is a no-go. This is understandable considering it has a nasty habit of turning him into a very dull-looking rock. And bridges? Absolutely not. He won’t explain why, but I suspect it involves goats. Gruff ones.

Back in Australia, I didn't see him for a long time. I thought he’d wandered off on another adventure, but it turns out he was that suspiciously lumpy rock in my backyard. So, I brought him inside out of the deadly sunlight, dusted him off and decided it’s time for him to start tagging along again, avoiding sunny days. And potential run-ins with livestock.

Today’s outing took us to The Entrance, a fascinating place where the Pacific Ocean meanders inland and becomes Tuggerah Lake. And I only nearly lost him to the ocean twice. And to a particularly enthusiastic and possibly nearsighted seagull. He just can't wait for his next adventure !

I hope everyone's had a good week. Thank you all for the kind likes and comments — they’re always greatly appreciated!
