Well, you look just like an angel
You sound so bright and true
You seem so sweet coming down my street
But the devil is an angel too
Yeah, the devil is an angel too
Somehow you seem familiar
Haven't I seen you before?
Got a different name
But is it the same old heartache coming 'round my door?
Got one hand on my shoulder
You keep one behind your back
I'm going to need some identification
Baby, before I let you unpack
You look at me so tender
But I wonder if there lies something dark
And sinister behind those innocent eyes
Well, you coo just like a baby
Make me want to let you in
You seem sincere
But if I trust you, dear, will I ever see my soul again?
You sound just like a preacher
Stand upright and tall
But I want to know
Honey, after the show, do you have any love at all?
I don't mean to doubt your sincere intent
But underneath there's the look about something mean and malevolent
You look just like an angel, you sound so bright and true
You seem so sweet coming down my street
But the devil is an angel too
Yeah, the devil is an angel too
The devil is an angel too, that's right
The devil is an angel too, that's right
The devil is an angel too, that's right
The devil is an angel too
If you decide to travel along this highway into the bowels of the Universe, carry enough fuel to cover the billions of light years ahead of you. You won't find a place to refuel. When you have travelled this distance without finding anything, not even a little bit of intelligent life and you reach the far reaches of the Universe... don't be scared... there's nothing there, either. Only the "nothing". Or since everything is cyclical, perhaps you have returned to the place where you started, full of wisdom from your long trip. It's probably better to look for intelligent life on Earth, but it's also very likely that you'll have a hard time finding it. Don't worry about not understanding the Universe or the reason for its existence... you're not Einstein, but one day you'll understand that... The Universe is wounded, but it still has infinity ahead of it. It still has you and me. Merry Christmas to all and to the infinite Universe that is within you.
Gregory Alan Isakov - The Universe
Y el Universo está susurrando tan suavemente que puedo oírlo todo... el zumbido de los insectos, todos los taxis, todo el cambio gastado de los vagabundos, todos los chicos jugando a la pelota en los callejones. Son sólo pliegues en su vestido. El Universo, está herido, pero aún tiene el infinito por delante. Todavía nos tiene a ti y a mí. Y todos dicen que es hermoso. Y todos dicen...

Music for your trip to the Universe:
Ground Control to Major Tom. Ground Control to Major Tom. Take your protein pills and put your helmet on. Ground Control to Major Tom (ten, nine, eight, seven, six)... Commencing countdown, engines on (five, four, three)... Check ignition and may God's love be with you (two, one, liftoff...)
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Parts VI–IX
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond", was written as a tribute to Syd Barrett, one of the founders of Pink Floyd. He was also known as "The Crazy Diamond Syd". Barrett was a very creative musician and is considered one of the rock icons, with a strong influence on many artists, very especially to David Bowie. Syd Barrett is a key piece to understand the evolution of rock in the 70s.. Excessive drug use, especially LSD, caused him serious mental health problems. Syd Barrett died in 2006 at the age of 60. Always shine diamond.
The Universal is a science fiction song written as a tribute to two films by film director Stanley Kubrick. In the video, the Blur members wear outfits similar to Alex and his gang of thugs, the protagonists of the movie "A Clockwork Orange." The image used for the cover of the single alluded to what is possibly Kubrick's best film: "2001: To Space Odyssey."
We haven't changed that much in 300,000 years of evolution.

PS: Electronic - Can't Find My Way Home Just a recommendation. It is important to learn the road signs of the Universe... happy return.
PS: Ground Control to Major Tom. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong. Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you hear me, Major Tom? Can you...
"Here am I floating 'round my tin can, far above the moon. Planet Earth is blue. And there's nothing I can do" (Major Tom)
PS: Merry Christmas to all Flick(e)r users... and to the Universe full of crazy diamonds that shine... And Major Tom
Mulholland on left was a rescue Thoroughbred (mine at the time) - Bits on right - stablemate friends to the end.
Wood Pigeon (Columba palumbus). This wood pigeon was trying to keep cool by oscillating his throat. However, he just looked a bit deranged to me!
came a bit as a shock to me...
I find it the hardest time of the year
it 's just so dark, cold and bare outside
makes me really long for the new year
when the days are getting longer again
Knowing a bit more about photography makes it easier to understand how and why some oil paintings, say the impressionist, abstract or even watercolour paintings, came into being.
"A beautiful closeup of delicate orchid blossoms and a kaleidoscope of background colors. Great depth and soft light."
A review by Flickr friend/Connoisseur Gertrud Klopp
It is all about who you are looking for. When you are on the boardwalk, you are up there because you want to see something a little bit better. However it also makes it so that you are a little easier to be seen.
A bit of friendly Saturday morning banter in the angling club boat shed. The eternal debate about what are the best fishing flies. Of course the answer is to be out on the water casting your line as you would have more success than drinking coffee in the shed :-D
This male bufflehead had been diving recently, and had the evidence in drops all over. At Commonwealth Lake.
I'm a little bit shy
I’m a little bit right on time
And I know that you don't operate the same
Are you feeling alright?
Cause I really can't tell sometimes
I wanna know what's going on inside your brain
Just come a little bit closer
Cause I don't know if I know you yet
Yeah, there seems to be something new everyday
Why do I really wanna hold you?
Why do I want you so bad?
Yeah, you're beautiful but something's in my way
There was a bit of blue in the sky after days of chill and darkness. I betook myself to the Gaasperplas, Gaasper Lake, on the edge of the south of Amsterdam. Not many signs yet of awakening Nature; but I did see some Robins preparing to nest. A bit early I would think. And then there was this bright, yellow Cornelian Cherry, that I've admired often in the past. It's just prettily bursting forth from its buds.

After a bit of a wait, 250 rolls across the 1200' long trestle in Onawa, led by CP SD70ACu 7020, the first of CP's military units to run over the CMQ. Borestone Mountain can be seen looming in the distance to the right of the train, while some lingering fall colors add some nice color to the hillside.
Had a wonderful Tennessee trip this year. Got to guide Flickr friend Ruthie Kansas for 2 days plus a 3rd morning. I also got to explore some new locations in Kentucky one of which had more Ceru1ean warblers than I've ever encountered-over 30 singing in a bit over 5 miles of road.
Bit of a crop, don't see these often...
North Norfolk.
