She takes hold of me
The whole of me
but the hole in me
What used to be
You and me
Ceased to be
Since the beast
is harvesting
It's no longer in me
for loving
The dark-heart sun
is coming
A deep casm
Deeper than Jacque Cousteau
could fathom
Drunken phantoms gathered
with their sorrows in tandem
Singing their woe-filled anthem
of shattered glass hearts
from diamond betrayals
Through the dark they march
with soul-lit lanterns
and the stench of ale
👺 The beast feeds
off your flame
Haunted by the deeds
of the estranged
No sea is deeper
than our pain
We drink to cast them away
but lose ourselves
The pain is all that remains 👹🍻
The song fades
into the night
In the gorge
A succession of lights
A horde of swordsman
with a murderous plight
A tower suspended
with the threads of lives
the beast has comprised
from the souls of others
under a lover's guise
The end is nigh
She emerges from the dark
guided by her blades gleam
Over the ramparts
Even at the cost
of her own heart
She fights through an onslaught
of heartless entities
until they're slain
at her feet
The tower spire is reached
A column of dark energy
emitting from its core
The sun is weak
The light no longer reaches
the valley floor
This cannot be!
She makes her ascent
Traversing the soul web
Defeating the chrome men
and into the towers center
A willow tree looming
over a throne of broken hearts
Power lines connected
to the aortas
that feed into
the controls of the dark heart
of the sun
An engine that runs
on lust and the pain
of hearts broken
The willow sounds
like it's weeping
from the pressure release
of the exhaust openings
A pure heart
Mine in the willows
center enclosure
Feeds the beast
The queen
The Atom Heart Mother
Sowing her seeds
of discord and destruction
Cycling it through
my hearts chambers
to magnify the suns
dark heart corruption
She unsheathes her sword
as she lays eyes
on the queen beast
The queen bares her teeth
and steps back
into the shadows
Where she can't be seen
"I was once like you
but now I'm free
You can't break
a broken heart
Without it it's peace
Join me in the dark
and make love bleed
The last stage
of the dark-heart sun
is almost complete"☀
"I only do onto others
as I want done to me"!
Her sword begins to glow
as she cuts through the shadows
Exposed is the queen beast's true being
The Atom Heart Mother shrieks
rushing her in a desperate attempt
to pierce her heart to feed
The queen beast phases through
in disbelief
It was an afterimage
Stabbed from behind right through
where her heart used to be
A hoarse utterance
as the light
of broken hearts seeps
The queen returns to dust
Returning heartless entities
and drunken phantoms
to the material plane
and the way they used to be
She disconnects my heart
from the tree
and the darkness slowly dissipates
The soul webs start to snap
The tower begins to quake
My soul returns to my body
She cries,
"Have you really returned to me?
Your love was all that remained
in the darkest of days
I traversed the astral plane
in search of you
The demon fox said you went
through the thorn road doorway
but in the distance I recognized
your dim flame
and knew you were in pain
Please is it really you"?
"The queen beast left me weak
I had enough energy
to reach you in your dreams
There tower is crumbling
We have to jump before it sinks"!
We're free-falling
through time and space
The being Eternity
puts the sun back in place
You two will become
Earth and Sky
The sun is your hearts light
When it sets you
will join in nights embrace
Until the end of time
give birth to twilight
and raise a brand new day

Two Kookaburra's sitting on the handle of an old mower in my garden. Love the way the one on the left seems to be in control of the throttle. I had to edit out the background as it was very distracting.

Control tower. 1939-40, to 1939 Watch Office with Meteorological Section design by Air Ministry's Directorate of Works. Drawing no. 5845/39. Painted brickwork walls, reinforced concrete floors and roof, with asphalt finish.
PLAN: a near-square plan on three floors with wide glazed balconies facing the flying field. The ground floor has the main watch office and pilots' room, forecast and teleprinters, and WCs; at first floor is the main control room backed by the meteorological and signals offices; the rear staircase gives access also to the glazed observation room at second floor level.
EXTERIOR: the original steel casements with horizontal glazing bars have been retained almost throughout, including those to the long observation frontages. At ground floor the front has three large 4-light windows separated by brick piers, under a concrete balcony cantilevered out to semi-circular ends, and with a 'nautical' style steel balustrade in four horizontal bars and handrail to simple uprights; at this level is a continuous multi-light window returned to quadrants at each end, above a low breast wall, and with a deep parapet wall taken up as a balustrade to the top deck, which has a further range of full-width glazing to a set-back observation room. The return walls each have a series of tall casements, linked at the upper level by a 'frieze band' under the cantilevered flat slab with the nautical balustrade continued to the rear to the stair tower. The rear faÎade has a single light each side of the projecting stair tower, with a small bulls-eye above a deep stair light, and small lights on the return.
Later alterations comprise timber-framed and glazed observation room, and extension over rear doorway. The building is flanked at each side by two-bay and three-bay fire tender and flare stores.
INTERIOR: original doors and joinery; solid concrete staircase.
HISTORY: This is the best example of this type of control tower after Swanton Morley. It is the most sophisticated Air Ministry design of the inter-war period both in terms of its planning, with a meteorological section incorporated into the design behind the control room. Its distinctly Art Deco treatment strongly recalls the Bauhaus tradition from which this style was evolved. In the second half of the 1930s, increasing attention was being given to the dispersal and shelter of aircraft from attack, ensuring serviceable landing and take-off areas, and the control of movement: the result was the development of the control tower, from the simple watch office of the 1920s, and the planning from 1938 of the first airfields with runways and perimeter tracks. The development of radio communication, and the increasing need to organise the flying field into different zones for take-off, landing and taxiing, brought with it an acceptance that movement on the airfield needed to be controlled from a single centre: control towers thus evolved from the simple duty pilot's watch office to the tower design of 1934 and integration of traffic control and weather monitoring in the Art Deco horizontality of the Watch Office with Meteorological Section of 1939. The control tower became the most distinctive and instantly recognisable building associated with military airfields, particularly in the Second World War when they served as foci for base personnel as they awaited the return of aircraft from operations.
From 1930 the Maidstone School of Flying used the area as a private landing ground, which was registered as Maidstone airport in 1932. A satellite of Biggin Hill within Fighter Command's strategically critical 11 Group, West Malling was opened as a fighter station in June 1940, although a series of raids in August and September 1940 rendered the airfield unserviceable for much of the Battle of Britain. It reopened in October of that year, although the station was able to accept a full station only in April 1941. It became a nightfighter station at this time, its Bristol Beaufighter pilots including Guy Gibson and Don Parker - both becoming famous names in Bomber Command, the former for his leadership of 617 Squadron in the Dams Raid and other precision attacks. It was later used by Mosquitos and Typhoons in operations against occupied Europe, including the support of 'D' Day, and became the principal station during 'Operation Diver' in 1944, the name given to the defence of the east and south-eastern coasts against the V1 bomb. It is significant, in this context, that there are no other fighter stations associated with 'Operation Diver' that have survived in a sufficiently complete state of preservation to merit listing: the other key sites in the London area - Northolt, Biggin Hill and Kenley - were placed behind the balloon barrage erected for the operation. With the end of the war, West Malling became the main rehabilitation centre for POWs returning from Germany to Britain. The base was put into 'care and maintenance' in August 1960, and was acquired in 1970 by Kent County Council: in 1972 it became a centre for dispossessed Ugandan Asians, and eventually some of the major buildings were adapted for Local Authority use (notably the Officers' Mess and Building 60), whilst others were retained and incorporated as part of a larger commercial park.

Hard work is performed in the control room in an amazing abandoned steelworks in Austria. The place has thousands of interesting things to photograph. Maybe the most dirty place I have visited so far, but i enjoyed every second of being there.

For these images I shot a roll of Fujifilm Superia 400 through my Pentax P3, then re spooled the film back into my Konica Pop.
The staged, Pentax shots were done to give a clear and focused background image, where as the candid Konica shots were done to add a sense of unorganised chaos to the top image.
