Went down to Bryon Bay (Australia) on the weekend and spent some time at the Crystal Castle & Shambhala Gardens. If you are ever in this part of the World and are interested in Crystals and a little bit of Biddhism, then I would recommend the visit. Many crystals sourced from around the world (some 1000kg+) and many spiritual quotes and advice from Buddha and his "mates". An interesting way to spend your day away from the crazy of our modern lives. A way to reflect on what you are doing in life is never a bad thing. Also, to spend your day in quiet and peace is something I am always grateful for.
And for those who haven't the opportunity, then I am sure you can find your version close to where you live.
Have a great day

How Your Eyes Perceive Color πποΈ
Have you ever wondered how your eyes are able to interpret the kaleidoscope of colours around you?
π Inside your eyes there are special cells called 'cones' that are responsible for interpreting colors. They're sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing you to experience the vibrant spectrum of colours from red to violet β¨

Optometry Insight: The Pupillary Reflex ποΈβ¨
Ever noticed how your pupils adjust to light? That's the pupillary reflex at work! π‘
π When light intensity changes, your pupils respond like tiny camera shutters, adjusting to let in more or less light. It's not just about protecting your eyes from harsh glare but also about optimizing vision in different lighting conditions.
Next time you step into sunlight or a dimly lit room, appreciate the intricate dance of your pupils, ensuring you see the world with clarity at every moment! πΆοΈπ«
