Quietly resting on a damp, grey morning in a forest clearing near Sundsvall in Northern Sweden in late June. The challenge here was not to be driven crazy by the clouds of mosquitos! (1975)
I rise each day
And its just the same
I see an unending sorrow
Ploughing that same furrow
Call me
Call my name
You keep looking for false dawns
You find it hard to look beyond
I have tried to write this so many times
It didn’t want to be written
Life kept fighting my lines
But while the blood flows
Into my cup unbidden
Even though I can hardly speak
My voice feels like it has been stolen
I know this cup is the only thing that matters
No point trying to cajole or flatter
I always treated that with suspicion
Just keep me on your table
Remember me if you are able
Let this be a new dawn
Where I am no longer a pawn
Dodging things I foresworn
Yet can no longer keep

So many of us wish that life could be different for us and often with good reason. In our so-called modern times there is a harshness that seems to have settled over us.
But now is the time for us to look deeply within, and find what truly matters to us, be that faith, family, loved ones or all of these things. Sometimes our daily lives might be devoid of purpose, or we feel are bowed down with responsibilities, and seeking help is difficult.
But within all this, a light can be found. We need to seek out ways that will uphold us and give us joy. Each of us is different, but letting go of things that cannot be changed is a start. This way, new opportunities can arise, that bring peace of mind.
This image was taken in Ripe Church in East Sussex, UK. I placed this Cup from my collection onto the flagstones set in the floor, and the light streamed through a window and lit up the Cup.
As with all of my images, there is no AI involved. This is just taken by me and my camera, with my chalice cup and the beauty of the light. Why would I need anything more, because the song is in the experience, as they say.
I have paired this work with Hans Zimmer’s “Chevaliers de Sangreal” which was featured in the Da Vinci Code film, which sparked all sorts of controversy and counterclaims…which I have taken with a pinch of salt…which helps to keep demons at bay after all. But the music...the music is divine.
But in the end, the cup for me is a conduit to enable the Holy Spirit to enter, or to surround where I happen to be…but I have always loved this piece of music for the soaring quality it has, the love it encompasses, and that is enough for me.

Reflections in False Creek around sunset create a pleasing image. Smokey skies from distant forest fires color the sky a mild warm hue.
BUKOVICA RAILWAY rushes towards November sunset through a baren land near Zečevo hamlet. In the whole month that I had spent there, I haven’t seen or heard one single train pass by. The tracks are in excellent condition.
Driving along the South African coast is a beautiful experience with great vistas along the way. This was taken on the way from Betty's Bay to Gordons Bay
The defect detector has informed us that it's a balmy 17 degrees at False Summit, Montana, just east of the summit: elevation 5,213 above sea level. I honestly even forgot the cold as I couldn't stop looking around at the absolutely stunning scenery. Things change fast up in the mountains, and it's somewhat rare to have weather like this. We took full advantage, chasing this train with an SD70ACE leader all the way to East Glacier from Essex.
Hairy False Golden-aster (Heterotheca villosa)! That's quite a long name for these beautiful native wildflowers of the Rocky Mountain Region.
These beauties were seen at the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt, along the Clear Creek, Colorado.
With a photobomber! These have emerged just in the last few days, and a little spider has already found them...

It's looking mighty green around here!! Spring starts pretty early in Louisiana, but February?! Unfortunately, it will fool all the plants (especially the Azaleas) into blooming early, and then killing all the blooms with a late freeze around Easter... :(
This is a short video of Canada geese relaxing in a bit of a snowstorm in the early spring. A couple things to look for in the video. First, as you watch, you will see (and hear) ghostly geese in the background sounding the alarm over something. Also, a dark shadow quickly passes through in the foreground. A goose's neck passed between the lens and the subject.
The main goose in the video eventually reacts to the calling, quickly decides it is nothing serious and goes back to having a snowy rest.
We hit 65 degrees over the weekend, a new record. Obviously an anomaly and we're back to the usual cold and rainy weather now, but boy was it nice while it lasted! I think the flowers were quite confused too!
Drive along the coast from Hermanus to Gordon's Bay and on to Stellenbosch
False Bay. first mentioned in 1488 as the “gulf between the mountains”. The name “False Bay” comes from sailors who sailed into the bay because they thought it was Table Bay.

False Bay. 1488 wurde sie erstmals als „Golf zwischen den Bergen“ erwähnt. Der Name „False Bay“ stammt von Seefahrern, die in die Bucht segelten, weil sie sie für die Table Bay hielten.
