No photoshop to create this effect...I just had to wait a few minutes in the island platform for both trains to move at the same time ;-}

Clapham Common tube station is a station on London Underground's Northern Line. It lies between Clapham North and Clapham South stations and is in Travelcard Zone 2.
The station is at the eastern tip of Clapham Common and was opened in June 1900 as the new southern terminus of the City & South London Railway, which was extended from Stockwell. It remained the terminus until the Morden extension was opened in 1926. Apart from a small domed entrance building on the tip of the narrow triangular island formed by The Pavement and Clapham Common South Side, the station is entirely underground. A subway link from the south-east side of Clapham Common South Side also links to the below-ground ticket hall. It is one of two remaining stations on the underground that has an island platform in tunnel, serving both the northbound and southbound lines; the other is Clapham North.
It is one of eight London Underground stations which has a deep-level air-raid shelter underneath it. Both entrances to the shelter are north of the station on Clapham High Street.

=======================================================================
The London Underground is a metro system serving a large part of Greater London and neighbouring areas of Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire in the UK. The first section opened in 1863, making it the first underground railway system in the world, and, starting in 1890, it was the first to operate electric trains. It is usually referred to as the Underground or the Tube—the latter deriving from the shape of the system's deep-bore tunnels—although about 55% of the network is above ground.
The Underground has 270 stations and approximately 400 km (250 miles) of track,making it the longest metro system in the world by route length, and one of the most served in terms of stations. In 2007, over one billion passenger journeys were recorded.
The tube map, with its schematic non-geographical layout and colour-coded lines, is considered a design classic, and many other transport maps worldwide have been influenced by it.

“Let your mind start a journey thru a strange new world. Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before. Let your soul take you where you long to be...Close your eyes let your spirit start to soar, and you'll live as you've never lived before.”
There is no better time than now. The time to live is now. The time to dream is now. The time to imagine and forget the past is now. The time to shine is now. The time to bleed, sweat, and determine yourself for the things you want most is now.
I find these flowers still beautiful even in their dried state ... so be warned and prepare yourselves for a whole series of them!

This is a view of Castle Espie never to be seen again , The centre is currentley being revamped and the trees in the background have been removed to try and reclaim some of the natural wetland to cater for the masses of migratory birds that visit and stay over the winter.
I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.

"Tatum the Girl Wonder
A stroke left her mind drawn towards the light."

This compellingly disorienting drawing will be part of an unusual group exhibition titled "Deposition: Drawn" with 20+ artists at North Park University opening on February 14, Valentine's Day 4:30 - 6:30 and run through March 9.
This exhibition is an unusual mash-up of my work as curator (primarily as gallery director at NPU) and my work as an artist ( particularlly my work that is related to my most frequent subject, my daughter Temma). I sent each of the participating artists a unique prompt which was for me somehow related to Temma. The participating artists then made a drawing related to their prompt. They also developed an accompanying text / title for the drawing. And then they sent that text to me along with a high resolution scan of their drawing.
“Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house... let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of the Creator's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your heart.”
The sun is out but it's cold, it's bright but it's foggy, it's dry but humid, there is no wind but feels like a storm is brewing, its just your typical Irish day!

The Autumn is old; The sere leaves are flying; He hath gather’d up gold, And now he is dying….. Old age, begin sighing!
This is Grans Garden ,
Gran is Cats Mum and she is 76 years young ,she is very passoinate about her garden and does all the work and maintenance her self.
The garden has won many garden competitions over the years and is a delite and joy just to relax in.
Whenever you feel you will never see light, feel warmth or be happy ever again, just remember, somewhere on earth right now, the sun is rising.
A tree stands alone day by day facing the weather come what may,
Winter hail rain or shine ,but the sunset is this tree's favorite time ,
Its also mine!!

White Fallow Deer at Parkanaur in Co. Tyrone.
Today we went to Parkanaur Forest Park for a walk .
The park has a herd of White Fallow Deer, today we were lucky as they were close enough to see them and it was sunny so the light was good.
Fallow deer
Fallow deer can be found in most counties in England and Wales, and there are large populations in pockets spread across Scotland & Ireland . The species was introduced by the Normans and quickly became established in the wild in hunting forests and chases. There are no really accurate estimates, but there must be tens of thousands of fallow deer in Britain.

I sat in my car watching a pair of Buzzards at Kernan lake just outside Gilford when the clouds started rolling in and the Storm followed,the Buzzards disappeared before i could get a picture of them , however i did return another day to watch them.

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."
The Sun is a star at the centre of the Solar System. All the planets revolve around it.
The Sun is a 1 million km wide ball of burning gas. So be prepared for the best firework show you have ever seen!
Solar flares
Variations in the Sun's magnetic field cause huge jets or loops of stellar material to shoot out into space.
Solar wind
Solar flares can be accompanied by dense clouds of electrically charged particles, travelling at around 450km per second. When they reach Earth, they can affect communications satellites.
But make sure you wear your protective sun filters over your eyes otherwise you could damage your eyesight.
FROM THE EARTH
The Sun is by far the brightest object in the sky. It's so bright that during the day its light drowns out virtually everything else in space.
The Sun is so powerful that even from the Earth, its light can damage your eyesight. So never look at the Sun directly or through a telescope.
The best time to appreciate the majesty of the Sun from the Earth is during a solar eclipse. Then the Moon passes in front of the Sun and so it temporarily disappears from the sky.
Life on Earth is totally dependent on the the energy it receives from the Sun. This energy is produced when hydrogen atoms inside the Sun fuse to form helium.
The Sun consumes four million tons of hydrogen every second. Even so, it's so vast that our star has enough fuel to keep it shining for another five billion years.
The Sun's energy output is estimated to be 386 billion, billion megawatts. So in 15 minutes our Sun radiates as much energy as mankind consumes in all forms, during an entire year.
Along the tops of all the yellow trees,
The golden-yellow trees, the sunshine lies;
And where the leaves are gone, long rays surprise
Lone depths of thicket with their brightnesses;
And through the woods, all waste of many a breeze,
Cometh more joy of light for Poet's eyes--
Green fields lying yellow underneath the skies,
And shining houses and blue distances.
By the roadside, like rocks of golden ore
That make the western river-beds so bright,
The briar and the furze are all alight!
Perhaps the year will be so fair no more,
But now the fallen, falling leaves are gay,
And autumn old has shone into a Day!
George MacDonald's poem: Autumn's Gold
...it's Veteran's Day, a day of Remembrance, and the last day of my four-day weekend ... back to school tomorrow. I hope you've had a wonderful day, my friends, and have a terrific week.
