🕵️♂️ Solve It If You Can! 🔎 Riddle Time
I’m a place of beauty,
from mountains to sea,
where the long white cloud drifts gracefully;
I’m far from most but close in heart—
what country am I,
a world apart?
Bonus points if you know the photo's location, here's a hint: it's the Riddler's home town!

Safety first
Not all roundabouts are created equal.
The roundabout at the entrance to our little village, by Mary Doyle is not like others.
Vehicles coming off the bridge have right of way, not vehicles coming from the village.
I had a very close call, this evening, coming home from town. A vehicle coming from the village didn’t stop, or even look as they went around the roundabout. I came within a few inches of their passenger door. Thankfully I don’t speed and have a good vehicle.
Just remember to check the traffic signs, please. Don’t assume everywhere is all the same.
