I have a crazy man
Waiting for a confirmation.
Signs keep a-changing up.
I need some more information.
Some are tricks of the light, you'll never know.
Make a flickering midnight light into a glow.
It's a trick of the light.
It's a trick of the light.
Something that tells me how,
Her bright blue eyes are shining.
She turns up her head now,
Where she walks, she's and I am.
[ Chorus ]
Some are tricks of the light, you'll never know.
Make a flickering midnight light into a glow.
And the spot that you saw so bright was just for show.
Could it ever have turned out right? You'll never know.
It's a trick of the light.
It's a trick of the light.
She turns, she takes his hand,
Breaking his concentration.
She burns at his command,
That ends some man's recollection.
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Could it ever have turned out right, now?
It's a trick of the light.
That is something you'll never know.
It's a trick of the light.
Could it ever have turned out right, now?
It's a trick of the light.
That is something you'll never know.
It's a trick of the light.
Could it ever have turned out right, now?
It's a trick of the light.
That is something you'll never, something you'll never,
Something you'll never, something you'll never,
Something you'll never, something you'll never,
Something you'll never, something you'll never....
I can't help it, it's a gift, or a curse.
One of my very first digital images since I returned to the fold after a 20(ish) year break, Brook Road bridge at Oldfield Park again as Shed 417 (or maybe Szopa 66014 as she's now known) passes Twerton Cemetery working 4L32, the 11.00 departure from Bristol FLT to Tilbury.
At the time 66417 had been on hire to Freightliner from DRS until ultimately being sold to them that summer, a few months later, in March 2012, the locomotive was shipped out of Immingham to Poland to become one of a handful of ex.UK GMs which have been based there ever since in the employ of Freightliner PL (obviously). While undergoing some conversion work at Wrocław Główny locomotive shop the loco also also received a version of Freightliner's familiar corporate green and yellow garb.
This photo and the preceding one both feature the Brook Road bridge and although 8 years apart that black patch at the apex of the arch is unchanged - what's with that?, it's like a patch of soot from "olden days" steam locos(?) is it still there in 2025? Is anyone even out there? Hello...
come on Scotty, don't you live in Twerton?

Four a.m. in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy and the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star moves slowly in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night
But she couldn't find how to push through
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven, far away
The title is taken from the Mike Oldfield song "Let There Be Light" from the album "The Songs of Distant Earth." So, my friends, just click, sit back, relax and listen:

I was captivated by the brilliant sunshine and striking geometric small paned window shadows on the pillars and marble floor of the Upper Gallery of the Hagia Sophia. Istanbul, Turkey.
Hagia Sophia, the one that you can visit today, was built by emperor Justinian I between 532-537 AD over the remains of the previous basilica. [...]. The church became the glorious symbol of the Byzantine Empire and the largest church of Christendom in the world. For almost 1000 years the Hagia Sophia was the seat of the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople. Church councils and imperial ceremonies were held here. [...].
On May 29th, 1453, the Ottomans conquered Constantinople and sultan Mehmet II ordered to convert the church into a mosque. [...].
Aya Sofya [Hagia Sophia] remained a mosque for almost 500 years until 1935 when Atatürk converted it into a museum so everybody could come to visit this architectural masterpiece and admire both Christian and Muslim art.

66846 and 66850 'David Maidment OBE' pass some leafy colour at Oldfield Park, Bath, while powering 3S59, the 0911 Hereford-Swindon RHTT on 12 October, 2022.
Oldfield's Hut is such a stunningly beautiful part of the high country near Canberra. Nestled behind Bimberi Peak and Mount Murray on the NSW side of the Brindi's, the Hut is situated amongst lush spongy grass cropped short by macropods, providing a perfect camping substrate. Sheltering the Hut from the elements are several large proud Black Sallee eucalypts (Eucalyptus stellulata). And just a short stroll over the ridge to the west lie the expansive Cooleman limestone plains, overrun with brumbies, and where I can't remember encountering a single macropod for 3 days. I must return here again, as the previous night I heard the hysterical whoops of the mysterious drunken teenage loon creature. But considering the location is so isolated it may have been a Barking Owl (Ninox connivens) or Sooty owl (Tyto tenebricosa).

Oldfields–Lilly House & Gardens is an elegant 26 acre estate and historic house museum located on the grounds of Indianapolis Museum of Art. At the heart of Oldfields is Lilly House, the 22-room mansion that was once the home of Josiah K. Lilly Jr., the late Indianapolis businessman, collector and philanthropist. Lilly House has undergone historic restoration and is now open to the public. Oldfields' gardens and grounds were designed in the 1920s by Percival Gallagher of the landscape architecture firm Olmsted Brothers.
Lilly House features eight furnished historic rooms on the main level. The majority of these rooms reflect the 1930s period of the Lilly family's occupancy, and almost 90 percent of the furnishings and decorative arts objects featured belonged to the Lillys and were used in the home.
The upper level of Lilly House, which offers expansive views of Oldfields' landscape and gardens, features historical and interactive exhibits, where visitors may learn more about the American Country Place era, Oldfields' development as a country estate, and Indianapolis in the early 20th century. The second level also features samples of J. K. Lilly's collections of books, gold coins, military miniatures and nautical items.
ok, so after hearing about this 'Super Moon' which to me didnt seem so super I thought I should seek out a photo of it.
So I waited on top of the bridge at oldfield park for a train to pass to add a bit of interest to the foreground. As luck would have it 2 came at once, one of which stopped at the station.
Several people stopped and asked what train was coming through obviously expecting it to be a special one, they were quite dissapointed when I explained I was only waiting for any train.
Back lit reeds shine in the spring light. Probably my favorite photo of the day!
