THE SEEKER
I am in a house, I know it well, but I have never been there before. There is no light, just me. The halls are empty, it is without life, without the things to bring it to life, no pictures, no tables, no chairs. It is a bleak house, dark, shadows, and even the light that seeps through the cracks, is dark. In the middle of the room there is foreboding, it is under the floor. I feel my hair stand on end.
I look to the door, the door, into which one must never go.
I stand and know that I can't run, I can't hide, because the dark of the house, is outside too. And I know it's time to leave, but I find myself walking, walking toward the door, the door that I must never open, as it leads to the room, the room into which one must never go.
I am sweating, I want to call out, I am trying to scream, it's primal, but there is no sound, there is no voice. I am unable to call for help. I try to move my arms, but they are frozen.
I am though the door, the room that vibrates with fear, darkness - something is moving in the secret passage, the secret passage that lies beyond the room. It is a narrow corridor, and I am bending to walk into the passage, and it leads to a room above the house, in the attic, I feel the cold, it is icy, and I fear for my very soul - I feel the negative energy that seeping into my skin. I am trying to shout, trying to leave, trying to turn away, wanting to run. A shape emerges out of the wall, it comes to me, draining all the goodness from me, and I feel terrible fear and dread, I want to fight it, but I am helpless, I am powerless, I can't move, but I know now, I must face it, I must fight for my life, and every fibre in me is screaming - and I remember .
I have been here before, and it is always the same, when the presence comes I wake up screaming and sweating, my pulse is racing. I have been through this many times before, and I am shaking and quaking, but I realize - despite these confrontations - I do not wake up dead, just terrified, and I begin to feel that perhaps, perhaps, these is no danger here. I have spent nights telling myself before I fall asleep that if this dream comes to me again, meet fear with love.
Now I know I was dreaming. I am out of the icy house. I am awake, lying in my bed. I am calmer now, I try to move, but nothing happens. I can't move anything, but I can see my room, and I feel a rising panic, and I feel the icy cold. There is someone standing at the end of my bed, staring at me. I am trying to scream and move my arms, to wake up, nothing happens. I see him standing clearly in my room, he has followed me here .
Now I will need to fight, but I can’t move, and he can, what are the rules in this situation, I am powerless. It is terrifying. Move !, Move !, Run ! Nothing. Then I remember “Do not get angry, that gives it power”. I stop struggling, start to calm down. He isn’t moving or doing anything, he never has, he just stands there.
"Hi", I think to myself.
"Can you hear me" it says in a sweet peaceful voice.
Oh that's great, he isn't even hostile, he’s doing his best not to terrify me and here I am like a wild animal, scared of the unknown, that's just great. He has been coming to talk to me, to give me wisdom -but his presence has seemed so terrifying , that he can’t even talk to me. I guess he has been coming and waiting patiently for me to meet him with love, not anger and fear. Well this is embarrassing.
I didn't expect a dialog, and I am now wanting to wake up. It's not fear this time, this guy had a very calm and gentle voice, but James Bond just climbed through my window and I sensed things were only going to go downhill from here.
Note to self, you got to do something about the quality of your dreams - oh, and thanks for the lesson in love and fear.
PS - The next day, many, many years ago - we went swimming with friends in mountain pools. The river water in Africa is dark and you can’t even see your feet in the water. We swam across a large, deep pool. I jumped into a big pothole at the end of the pool. There was a waterfall crashing into one side of it and the sandy bottom felt soothing on my feet. No one else wanted to jump in, and I realized, I had forgotten to be scared. The dream sequence has never returned.
PPS – Lucid dreaming is common, and trying to wake up during a nightmare is too – the immobility comes from your body preventing you from sleepwalking in response to dream situations – so it can feel disturbing while dreaming, but it is a good self preservation mechanism that is there to protect you from real harm. So the fear is gone and I am happy to dream on. And I work with dreams and treat them as an active state. If something is bugging you, think about it before you sleep, it can help resolve while you are off to never, never land

Modern art galleries and museums have always wanted to tell a story in the usual fashion of linear history. So as a rule rooms in galleries tended to be set out in historical periods or particular styles. The contemporary curator however eschews all that, throws everything into the mix and allows the viewer to piece together their own story.
Now this is all very well for the informed art lover, but can be very confusing to those who have never studied art history. It's a sink or swim model, and the jury is still out on whether this approach is going to be successful.
This section of the QVMAG was recently renovated to allow for more works to be shown from the very large collection that Launceston has built up over 200 years (the settlement itself was founded in 1806). One problem for photographers is that the light intensity has been reduced to 40 lumens per square metre (for example a 60 watt light bulb provides 800 lumens per square metre). This is so the works are not damaged by excess light. But it does make getting good photographs of the works very difficult indeed. This photograph, for instance, appears much brighter than the lighting actually was.
;)) Have a great Sunday, dear flickr friends!
And special thanks to my dear friend David, who took me to this wonderful place.
Please watch his wonderful work:

Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium holds the world-class mega water tank called Kuroshio Sea. The tank holds a 22.5 m width, a 8.2 m height and a 8.2 m depth, framed by an acrylic glass panel with a 60 cm thickness.
When we encounter larger spices more than our physical size, the impact that creates to us is enormous. It is a sensation! The size of whale shark is more than 12 m in length. The weight is more than 20 metrics tons. Encountering whale sharks in a very close look brings anyone into a dreamy like state. Enjoy watching their slow and elegant move!

I have high hopes that one day a Mars rover will uncover something like this set of fossilised terrestrial ammonites!
I created a few centimetres of Mars in our dining room with a block of fossils, LED lights and ground coffee. I now have a piece of ancient rock that smells of Starbucks.
I have to confess to getting a little worried at this point on my ascent of Side Pike! The inversion seemed to be climbing as quickly as I was and a thought it may not be possible to actually get above it!
I needn't have worried though as I climbed further the misty cloud settled and drifted back down to the valley sides, revealing the Langdale Pikes and surrounding Peaks. I took this hand held with my little camera as I climbed Side Pike, just in case the cloud continued to rise and I couldn't get a tripod shot on my big camera from the summit.
As it was I got quite a few decent shots from the summit as the sun began to set. I will post a panorama of the late scene just before Christmas.
Life is too short to worry about
what others think about you.
So, have fun and give them
something to talk about!
We have been making the most of the late summer weather down in the S Hams which has been ideal for reflection shots as the wind has been quite light. This is the view from Noss Mayo across to Newton Ferrers.

I have been single for six years in the sense that I live alone at home.
Since breaking up with my ex, the only man I've ever really shared my life with, I've still been dating. I spent nine months with one guy, never living together, a few weeks with another and three more for what were just one night stands.
So I'm still single. And so it is based on real facts that I will tell you, in four parts, this "story of my life".

Usually it's the other way round, bank of cloud on the horizon and clear skies. The sky was scarlet looking back towards Sheffield and Burbage and I couldn't quite squeeze it in.
As usual not without incident. Spilt coffee in my camera bag, cleaning cloths were like I'd rubbed them with lard and completely useless, left a lens hood here and had to traipse all the way back to retrieve it, got soaked on the return and forgot I'd disconnected the stove in the van and left the regulator at home and my back up butane cannister was empty, so no bacon sandwiches.
First world problems!

** I have been visiting my friends in Hebden in North Yorkshire for many years. They live high on the Dales and its usually a little cool there . That weekend in 2019 it was like the Mediterranean over 30 C which is almost unheard of .
The highlight of the weekend was Hebden sports day a small event, but the villagers all seem too have turned out . My friends were running the throw a beanbag at tin cans stall it was all very high tech .
This shot is the boys under 12 running in a sack race race which is harder than it looks . I am sure you agree the setting for the sports day is pretty splendid
