A great way to relax during these stressful days is to take a break and read a great old classic book (Short Stories by Rudyard Kipling) or (Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain). I haven't done a still life image in a while so I thought now was the time; but first I needed a coffee break to figure out what to do. (Edited in Lightroom, Photoshop and Topaz)
In the sea, once upon the time, O my Best Beloved, there was a Whale, and he ate fishes. He ate the starfish and the garfish, and the crab and the dab, and the plaice and the dace, and the skate and his mate, and the mackereel and the pickereel, and the really truly twirly-whirly eel. But not flowers. He did not eat flowers (with apologies to Rudyard Kipling). Mitakon Speedmaster at F0.95.

I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I know): their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who. I send them over land and sea, I send them east and west; but after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest. (Rudyard Kipling, Just So Stories)

An eastbound UP MGJNY has just crossed Kipling Street in Arvada, and is continuing east on the final seven miles or so in to North Yard. Snow has been falling all day and continues now, but the relatively warm temperatures (34°F / 1°C) are keeping the snow from accumulating too much on the ground.

This shot was taken somewhere near Shimla,the capital of Himachal Pradesh,on one of our weekend jaunts on our Royal Enfield bike.We would have been at an altitude of slightly above 8000 feet here.There are a lot of apple orchards in this area.In fact you can see one in bloom at the front of the shot.
The three years that we spent in Shimla (2013-16) will always be cherished by me as some of the best years of our lives.Recently I came across a lovely quotation by Kipling about the Himalayas and I thought I would share it here.Those of my friends who have been to the Himalayas will probably appreciate it a little better.:-) I quote - " .........the scent of damp woodsmoke,hot cakes,dripping undergrowth, and rotting pine cones.That is the true smell of the Himalayas, and if it once creeps into the blood of a man,that man will at the last,forgetting all else,return to the Himalayas to die."

This is an early illustration of mine from 1978. According to the tear sheet it was for the book review section of a magazine called SR. I have no recollection of this magazine. But, I remember the drawing. Archiving my work continues.

Bateman's, near the village of Burwash in Sussex, was built by a Wealden ironmaster in local sandstone, at a time when the Sussex Weald, with its forests for charcoal, was a flourishing centre of the ancient English iron industry. The date over the porch is 1634.
Rudyard Kipling settled in the house in 1902, and lived there for over thirty years, until his death, rejoicing in its seclusion under the Sussex downs, and in the evidence all around of thousands of years of English history.

The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.
