[ Believe what you see in the sky
Believe in the nightmare called living
The night`s turning blue in the sky
It`s growing colder and colder
Believe in the nightmare called love
Believe in the contempt of living
Your hands turning blue in my hair
They`re growing colder and colder
You`re promised so much
It`s growing colder and colder
You`re promised a touch
It`s growing colder and colder... ]

It's easy., at this remove from eighty years later, to believe that the end of the second world war meant that the world enjoyed immediate and stable peace.
Nothing could be further from the truth: there were fears of the war continuing as a struggle between the democracies of the West and the Communist bloc, with nuclear weapons able to annihilate entire cities. Britain prepared by building its own nuclear deterrent, whilst to protect the civilian population it rebuilt the ARP function - now known as Civil Defence, or CD. It also needed people to join the Auxiliary Fire Service and as Police Specials - fully qualified, but on-call, firefighters and Police.
The Civil Defence Corps, the auxiliary Fire Service and the Police needed recruits - thousands of them. Local authorities up and down the country were responsible for full and part-time posts to observe incoming aircraft, or look after areas of each town to rescue survivors and help the Police keep order in a post-apocalypse Britain.
Bolton Corporation used a fairly imaginative way to raise awareness and gain recruits for its CD unit, Fire Service and Police. Withdrawn Leyland bus number 186 was taken into the paint shop where the Corporation Transport's craftsmen gave full head to their creative talents, with this amazing advertising livery. 186 was driven around Bolton to drum up recruits - we don't know how successful it was in Bolton, but we do know that it was always a struggle to get CD recruits as the pay was very low and as time went on, its relevance faded as the Cold War settled into a semi-stable, sullen sense of mutual destruction.
By then 186 had also lost its relevance - after a time promoting Civil Defence, 186 was sent to the scrapyard. You can still see preserved Bolton buses, not least number 77 of 1956 which is now in the Museum of Transport Greater Manchester.

17/365 A frost dusted pile of leaves near where I park for work. I think I may be getting a reputation in this town. "Oh there goes the girl with the camera who takes photos of apparently anything." and I think my neighbors think I'm a private investigator. Makes me chuckle.
A rather cold looking Bird House Sculpture catches some reflected sunlight on a cold January morning. This sculpture, by Anne Roberts, stands in the Spadina Quay Wetland, on Queens Quay West at the foot of Spadina Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

In the midst of blizzard-like conditions, the ducks of Brookside Gardens seemed to be unbothered by such matters. So perhaps the title really should be: Content Ducks Cold Photographer.

I noticed the warm glow coming from "downtown" Schenectady and thought that the lighting on the Nott complimented it nicely. The street lights created the cold blueish light that I thought was a nice contrast to the lights elsewhere in the photo.

It's about 24 degrees out, but the sun is shining and so is he. A very happy man, who many times is not noticed. If you stop and look for just a second, he will share his kindness with but a brief look. We all need to look, and maybe just a little more. Dont you agree?
