I took this at Deer River, which goes to show that even the most gorgeous places can be home to subtle as well. Read about Deer River here on on my blog.

It's weird how and when depression can hit you, because sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Sometimes everything can be going great in your life, better than they've ever been, and out of no where wham! Like a big rig slamming into you it just hits, you don't know why, there's nothing "wrong", nothing happened, you just all of a sudden feel down.
It's hard to even talk about, because what is there to say? Someone asks what's wrong, and the only response that really comes to mind is "I don't know". What do you do when it hits, when you're not a person who goes through it regularly enough to have a fix ready? When you're someone who doesn't take medication, or have a therapist, and you're just all of a sudden just feeling like complete and utter shit despite nothing you can think of being wrong?
I have answers for a lot of life's questions, I try to share them with you every day to help those who need it, this though is one I still haven't figured out.

Thank you all, my dear friends for all your support, feedback, faves and friendships throughout 2022, it really does mean a lot.
I haven’t been on line for a while, depression came back to bite me in the bum over winter, the cold weather usually does affect my mental health. This year, even more so, we discovered the new house has quite a bad issue with damp, and some of the interior walls become wet when it’s raining, which has caused mould to grow. We left the previous house due to damp and having a landlord who wouldn’t deal with the situation. Now, the damp here is much worse, and again we have a letting agent who don’t seem to be in a hurry to resolve it. Antonio is allergic to damp and mould also, luckily it doesn’t seem to be in his bedroom which is a blessing, but it’s not great. We’ve had builders round to survey the house and now awaiting for them to come and do the repairs that are causing the walls to get wet, but their hands are tied until the letting agent gives the go ahead. 😳
Apologies for not responding to all my recent notifications, I just haven’t felt up to online interaction. Trying to keep optimistic and hoping that the horrid weather will soon get better as it’s also much too freezing cold for me to go out shooting, which is always something that helps my mental health. Roll on summer. Lots of love and best wishes for 2023.

The gentle depression of the ancient earthwork, Grimms Ditch, leads through the land of the beech trees. Love how those on the slope gently curve upwards making for some wonderful compositions. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.
Sometimes I just wanna shoot something scenic. Through the eye of the lens even things decayed have a natural beauty about them.

A small depression near the top of a slickrock dome had filled with dust that slowly transformed to soil. Some wind-blown seeds blew in and biocrust formed. Now it is a tiny microcosm of biocrust, grasses, black brush (with yellow flowers), prickly pear cactus and two stunted junipers. As spare as this is by many comparisons, it is healthy and diverse for the Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness.

Since last night I'm feeling quite depressive because of the never ending nonsense named 'lockdown'.
Now everybody can proof that there isn't and wasn't a pandemic situation at all;
but governments don't end their course!
My power slowly goes away ...

This can be a tough time of the year for many people.
I know the devastation that depression can do to you and your loved ones.
Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.
Depression affects an estimated one in 15 adults (6.7%) in any given year. And one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at some time in their life. Depression can occur at any time, but on average, first appears during the late teens to mid-20s. Women are more likely than men to experience depression. Some studies show that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime. There is a high degree of heritability (approximately 40%) when first-degree relatives (parents/children/siblings) have depression.

Last night I was at the bar. Everyone was normally drink beer. Yesterday we drank vodka, Fernet and tulamore. Tulamore no longer. Everything we drank. WHY? Lawyer, a truck driver, programmer (that's me) and random prostitute. We are all depressed! The truck driver told how to carry pipes to the city of Dachau. We increased depression and we drank and drank and drank!
The heady scent fills the air at Heacham Norfolk. Norfolk lavender was founded in 1993 it distills it own lavender and tours can see this process in action. Lavender has been used don the ages for this like tension, tridents and depression as well s many other ailments.
My depressive peak that has been devastating me for several weeks seems to be coming to an end. It's a hard work on myself, and I wouldn't have the strength without my loved ones, and psychological help.
Pascal Quignard said that the only cure for depression is depression. To say it differently, I would say that the scars left by it are like the golden joints of the art of Kintsugi.

Colorado College ~ Colorado Springs
In the depths of the Great Depression Colorado College built a long-awaited chapel that is considered one of the finest examples of Norman Romanesque architecture in the state. F. Edward Little, a member of the Class of 1935, recalled the importance of Shove Memorial Chapel to the college community during those hard economic times:
Shove Chapel was an elegant and expensive embellishment at a time when plain and frugal were the order of the day. Everyone was cutting back, cutting down, and closing up. There was open criticism about spending that much money, for that purpose, at that time. . . . Shove was just what was needed. It glowed as a jewel of hope when there were not many sparkling objects about. It promised something beautiful down the road. More info link below...

I still want to find the joy in the small and large things in life. I don't want to stop being myself, laughing, listening to music, drawing.....loving cats and coffee...it's the small things that lead to big happiness.
This current terror is holding me hostage. I'm forgetting simple things and I am having more middle of the night panic attacks. And, at the same time, I am still very privileged and I just have to remember that looking for relief in every day moments is a sign of that whereas others are just struggling to survive.
I feel like I don't have the right to be depressed but I still can't help it. It's a horrible place to be. And, I want to be hopeful and not helpless but I feel like all the magic and wonder has been extinguished from this world these days. I miss my old self, the old reality...before I saw things for what they really were and felt gravely disappointed in people.
Just an honest ramble. I still think art is important but I have to work to engage and not just completely disappear like a whisper in the night that you hear from a ghost.
