Runnin Down A Dream

Runnin' Down A Dream

Tom Petty

 

I felt so good, like anything was possible

Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes

The last three days the rain was unstoppable

It was always cold, no sunshine

 

Yeah, runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

 

I rolled on, the sky grew dark

I put the pedal down to make some time

There's something good waitin' down this road

I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

 

I'm runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

Runnin' down a dream

Yeah, I'm runnin' down a dream

That never would come to me

Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads

I'm runnin' down a dream

 

Knackered / wrecked from walking. First time properly out with the camera and all the gear this morning in a fair while, and this genius decided it would be a good idea to go for a 9km round trip hike, starting at 5am.

It rained, it stopped, it rained, it stopped and went on like that for a while. We got to the shoot location at 6am, which was what we had planned anyhow, and it gave us a bit of time to find this composition in the dark (The headlamps weren't much help tbh).

Anyhow, as the sun started to break the horizon, we noticed all these fluro tops darting around the tops of the cliffs. About 10 or so lads who we found out later were a running club from a town furthur down the coast, had decided to jog right into our shot, and take a few selfies.

I must admit I had the shits at first, but looking at the images on the back of the camera, they gave a great sense of scale to the shot, as I was shooting with a 10-20 super wide lens, and that waterfall and cliffs were enormous, so the lads fitted in well to show the enormity of the location.

We had a good chat and a great laugh later, and they were a great bunch.

We also met another great tog at the location with his daughter. Always good to catch up David Marriott.

Thanks to Richard for joining me this morning. We had been planning to go here for about 3 or so years. Great morning mate.

Hope you like "Runnin' Down A Dream"

Cheers, Mike
