... sitting on a friends terrace... watching the sun go down... having good talks and fun... what will you wish more... enjoy!

‘tis the best time though isn’t it ❤️ cosy, darker nights, pumpkin scented candles, fire pits glowing their embers after warming the colder nights….and the colours n the daylight, more golden warmth as we appreciate the last touches of the bygone summer heat (😂) well for me as it’s either too hot or too cold really 😁 the crisp of the leaves underfoot and oh my id forgotten how wonderfully more ish the earth with its fallen carpet from the canopy’s above….that smell 👌….I woke up the other morning and the grass was wet…it’s definitely happening….and this year when it all settles down again I’ve got Hero to accompany my Autumn Adventures from crisp colourful walks to cosy nights in…..he’s become quite the one for a groom, seems hooman H’s baby hairbrush feels the best ❤️

A glorious hike by Vestdalsfossar outside Seydisfjordur. I had planned a different hike but had to "settle" for this. Absolutely amazed by the landscape. The heavy clouds and low light only provided more mood and atmosphere. Sometimes a change of plans works out just fine.

Summer slowly fades away and Autumn is settling in. And as every year, comes the time that I need to give up my denial and embrace the new season.

 

I was walking down at the beach with my better half the other day, thinking of that. It kind of saddens me though. I'll miss the summer sun and all that carelessness it holds within. I'll miss late sunsets wandering at the beach. I'll miss feeling that certain warmth of its rays on my skin and that of the sand covering my feet as I walk barefoot on the beach. I'll miss that sweet afternoon breeze and the feeling of that warm air gently cuddling my face. Gosh, I know I'll miss all that for next few months, like I do every year.

 

But then again, I'm thinking we are entering a season of colors and transformations. Blue becomes pale, green turns to orange and yellow. Nature is changing its color palette. It's dressing up to meet Winter later this year. But you don't need me to tell you that now, do you really? I guess not! One look around can be more persuasive than all the words of the world.

 

And then it hit me. Nature is changing to refresh and create life, so change can't be that bad after all. Not if it's done the right way at least. It can create! Ohhh did I just say"can create"?! Hold that thought now! That ticks many boxes inside me. It rings many bells and fills many blanks. Change is not always bad. It's needed and sometimes can be mandatory.

 

But it's not only nature. It's us too. We change. I hear many say "people don't change", usually meaning they don't change in respect of certain traits they bear. And that can be truth in many cases, I won't argue that. But people can and do change. We change. We are not all of us, the same we were, say five, maybe ten or twenty years ago. No way. We changed. For good or bad is irrelevant. What matters is we do change. So it's feasible and in many cases inevitable.

 

It's up to us then to decide how we want to change and to what direction we want to go from there. But we can't do that being in denial. Like I can't enjoy Autumn for example, while being in denial for a Summer already gone. Thus acceptance is the key here, like it is in many aspects of life. I need to accept change and embrace it, if I am to enjoy it. Better yet I need to ... own it. Who can be better than myself to decide if, when and how I should change, but me and me alone? And if I am to come to terms with Change, then it better be on my terms rather than not.

 

No, change is not always good. It just isn't. But it's not always bad either. The moment we accept that, there's a whole new world of possibilities in front of us. Waiting to be explored. And lived. And enjoyed. The final judgement is on us. Change or not? Doesn't matter really, as long as we are the ones making the decision for ourselves. But we need to know our options beforehand. We need to know deep inside, that we can change, should we believe we should and feel like it.

 

The rest... The rest is all you! Us! Always was, just some of us kept being in denial I guess...

Days are for getting things done in your yard, home, garage in the shed. The sun is with us cfor enough hours to accomplish most of our chores, almost always. But then finally when “Night Settles” in something special begins to take place. The sun begins to slowly (not slow enough) to appear lower in the sky. Clouds sometime obscure the beautiful colors that take place. Clouds can also assist the awesome colors we experience in a sunset. If you’re a lover of sunrises and sunsets and play around with a camera or decent cellphone then you know the sensation of those special times of day. Thanks for viewing my photos. Gratitude and Kindness play a big role in my appreciation for this aforementioned subject matter.

Notable features that I wished to include were the two lineside huts dating from different periods and the original former farm crossing gate, as well as the 'retro' Class 37 of course, all remarkable survivors!

LSL D6817 (Ex Colas 37521) arrives at Settle on a superb sunny morning working the 0835 Skipton to Appleby service. Travelling in that ex GA Mark 3 stock was a bit weird to say the least.
