This shot is dedicated to my friend and gifted artist Cath, who encourages me daily, laughs at my terrible jokes and forgives my French. She also shares my fondess for a blue and beige colour contrast.
A poem should be palpable and mute
As a globed fruit
Dumb
As old medallions to the thumb
A poem should be wordless
As the flight of birds
A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs
Leaving, as the moon releases
Twig by twig the night-entangled trees
Leaving as the moon behind the winter leaves,
Memory by memory the mind
A poem should be motionless in time
As the moon climbs
A poem should be equal to
Not true
For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf
For love
The leaning grasses and two lights above to sea
A poem should not mean
But be
A poem should be a sigh
Trapped in chests
Released
A poem should be a butterfly transformed
Transfigured
A poem should be a scream
Note by note
Breaking the air cutting through
A poem should be no more
But just
Archibald MacLeish and I
for english readers there is a good article in the Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Berlin_S-Bahn
Die Geschichte der Berliner S-Bahn nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg ist äußerst ungewöhnlich:
Die Sowjets hatten nach Einnahme der Stadt den Befehl gegeben, das die „Deutsche Reichsbahn“ den betrieb der S-Bahn übernimmt. Als die Westalliierten in Berlin eintrafen und die Sektoren geschaffen wurden, wurde diese Entscheidung nicht angezweifelt oder verändert.
Erstaunlich für mich auch immer wieder, dass die „Deutsche Reichsbahn“ im Osten nicht generell umbenannt wurde. Schließlich gab es kein „Reich“ mehr. Offensichtlich hätte eine Umbenennung dazu geführt, dass die Betriebsrechte für West-Berlin erlöschen wären.
So kam es, dass die S-Bahn in West-Berlin quasi ein Ost-Unternehmen war. Es kam später zur Umbenennung dieses Teils der ostdeutschen Reichsbahn in „Deutsche Bundesbahn für die Westzonen“.
Durch die Währungsreform im Westen und der späteren Einführung der DDR-Mark ergaben sich dann erhebliche Schwierigkeiten für den Betrieb der West-S-Bahn.
Die S-Bahn war für die DDR ein wichtiger Devisenbringer. Allerdings wurden die West Beschäftigten des Ost-Unternehmens in Ost-Mark bezahlt. Doch diese mussten ihre Mieten und Lebenshaltungskosten ja in West-Mark bezahlen.
Dies führte 1949 zu einem Streik der West-Mitarbeiter gegen das Ost-Unternehmen. Hierbei wurden die Interessen der Arbeiter durch die West-Gewerkschaft (UGO, später DGB) vertreten. Die Reichsbahn erkannte aber nur den FDGB als gewerkschaftliche Vertretung an.
Der Streik wurde schließlich von den vier Stadtkommandanten der Alliierten beendet. Es kam zu Entlassungen und Maßregelungen der West-Arbeiter. Der Reichsbahn wurden mit selbigen Beschluss ein großer Teil der Infrastruktur der Bahnanlagen entzogen. Dies führte dazu, dass die Reichsbahn deutlich weniger Devisen einnahm.
Die Entlohnung der West-Berliner S-Bahner erfolgte ab sofort zu 60 % in Westmark und zu 40 % in Ostmark. Das Ostgeld wurde von einer eigens eingerichteten Senatsdienststelle 1:1 umgetauscht.
Mit dem Mauerbau einher ging auch der weitere Niedergang der S-Bahn in Berlin – sowohl im Osten wie im Westen. Die alten Strecken waren vielfach unterbrochen, es kam zu ersten „Geisterbahnhöfen“ aufgrund der Teilung der Stadt.
Der Bürgermeister West-Berlins – Willy Brandt und der DGB riefen zum Boykott der S-Bahn in West Berlin auf.
In der weiteren Folge setzte West-Berlin auf den Bau der U-Bahn und den Einsatz von Bussen, so dass viele S-Bahn Linien mehr und mehr entbehrlich wurden.
Schließlich machte die „Deutsche Reichsbahn“ mit ihrer „West-S-Bahn“ erhebliche Verluste und dünnte die Fahrpläne massiv aus, es kam wieder zu Entlassungen. 1980 führte dies zu einem weiteren Streik der West-Arbeiter.
Die Reichsbahn räumte die von den Streikenden besetzten Stellwerke – auch unter Einsatz sowjetischer Soldaten. Damit brach der Streik zusammen.
Doch seit diesem Streik wurden 72 Kilometer des West-S-Bahnnetzes nicht mehr genutzt. Dazu gehörte auch die frühere „Siemens-Bahn“. Sie liegt bis heute brach – schon 35 Jahre lang…

Past which blue moon
Will grow in this field
A stalk
And scatter in the wind
The moans of the earth?
Poetry of Mohammad Mokhtari
Translated from Persian
Searching for heaven, by the drums is perfect for my sitting in the hills waiting for the light show to begin, a perfect start to any day, I just love the fact you haven't got a clue what will happen. Suilven is just a great backdrop.
I have used this location for two other photographs....so I do find something about it very interesting and attractive.
An image capturing Wareham Signal Box and level crossing back in 1977, taken from the station footbridge. The view, looking east towards Bournemouth, includes the oil-tanker staging sidings for BP's Furzebrook facility as well as the down sidings and goods shed. The latter had probably been long closed by this time.
Roll on 45 years and the busy level crossing has been abandoned to be replaced by a road overbridge in the middle background just beyond the goods shed, which surprisingly still survives re-purposed as commercial premises.
The down sidings remain in situ, but the staging sidings are no more with the land being used to enhance the road system supporting the new bypass, plus a small housing development. Interestingly, Google Earth shows some residue of the sidings visible in the undergrowth close to the main running lines, but now disconnected.
The signal box is still standing but no longer operational, and the level crossing has been converted to a manned footway crossing. From what I can glean the latter has been the subject of some local controversy in that the foot crossing is considered dangerous enough to require the presence (and expense) of a 'warden', but at this time there appears to be no alternative route over the tracks for folk with pushchairs or those with mobility issues (the bypass overbridge has no pedestrian access). So far as I'm aware the discussions between Network Rail and the local Council to resolve the problem are ongoing and, as yet, inconclusive.
On the same visit I was lucky enough to be granted access to the signal box, a vibrant 'office' back then! www.flickr.com/photos/davidhayes/50829597336
Finally, if modelling is your thing, my recent book 'The Pennines: Trains in the Landscape' from Amberley Publishing gets reviewed in July's issues of 'Model Rail' (no.302) and 'Hornby Magazine' (no. 181). It also gets a review in the August issue of 'Rail Express' (no. 315) so, if you're in two minds about whether to buy it, you might want to check one or all of these out. Thanks.

The 'Guardians' of the Camargue look after these beautiful white Horses from this region in Southern France
They care for these horses as a way of life - stunning to see
I used to work in this place. Lots of rings for mules which were the pack animal of choice in the mountains once upon a time.
I merged two images here, one was the ring in the wall and another one left over from an old project (ribbons in wind)
What would my lost heart do
With the spring that arrives?
With the need that gains color
In branches of withered and black?
What would my lost heart do
With the breeze that it permeates?
Air of wild doves’ love
Breath of wandering perfumes?
My lips burn of songs
My chest with love
My skin bursts of excites
My body of buds
Every now I surge within
I leave, leaving for far distance
Burning ball of the Sun
On my way in the fever of light
Poetry of Forough Farrokhzad
Translated from Persian

After a fierce plummet from height straight into the water of Armand Bayou, Forster's Tern nevertheless came up empty this time.
Pause for reflection - A wonderfully calm and serene spring day dawns at Blea Tarn; time to take in the peace and quiet of this incredibly beautiful and tranquil Lake District location and to pause for reflection over the trials and tribulations of the previous year.
Blea Tarn is a favourite haunt of mine, especially so at first light when the early sunlight hits the Langdale Pikes, framed by the natural amphitheatre around the tarn and perfectly reflected in the mirror like surface of the still water. A place to rejuvenate the mind.
Lake District, Cumbria
