Last week was hectic, busy, and a lot of fun:)
I had my first performance ever with my band on Tuesday and I was soo nervous. From the moment I stepped on the stage all my nerves disappeared and I loved each and every moment of it. I went out to dinner with the other girls from my study (there are only 20 other women, I study applied physics) and it was a lot of fun, when to a party afterwards and that was good too. It is good to feel young and be silly sometimes.
Oh and I bought a 35mm lens and I can't wait to use it=)
Grief is so utterly powerful,
that we must surrender to the pain,
before we can learn to live and breathe again

I'm not sure this is still relevant, or even a good idea - but I have decided to take on the 365 project this year. If you're unfamiliar, I will try (key word - try) to take and post a picture for every day of this year.
I'm not making any guarantees, and I won't allow myself to stress over this. I have gotten discouraged at my lack of taking photos solely for the purpose of creativity, and this is how I choose to remedy it. There will be days I will not post a photo, but I will make up for it in following days. I'm not entirely sure of the rules, but I suppose I will make my own along the way.
This is more of a self experiment to see how I can progress my knowledge and ability as a photographer - if I may call myself that.
Here goes;
This photo is the result of a massive hangover from New Years eve and a day spent mostly in bed. I impressed myself just by getting up to shoot this - a great accomplishment, indeed...
Cheers, and happy new year.
The remains of an old lead smelting mill on the moors between Arkengarthdale and Swaledale. It replaced two earlier watermills on the site and operated from the mid to late 19th century.
I will never quit.
If knocked down, I will get back up, every time.

Let me be the one who can take you from all the things you see
And if you trust in me I can be that
Through anything you need (anything you need)
And give it all to me baby
Don't you run from me baby
I'll give you every little piece of me
Inside a beyond massive closed factory that is likely going to be demolished. Several million square feet that was still powered, heated & patrolled by security. This place is filled with tracks, conveyors & some robotics.

Statue "Unconditional Surrender" in San Diego.
Statue is of a famous photo appearing in Life Magazine
taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt in Times Square, New York City,
on V-J Day (August 14, 1945) of a sailor kissing a nurse.
Wanted to try out something experimental and surreal again and I absolutely loved the light on that day and this is the result! :)

Sawley Abbey was founded in 1146 on land given by William, third Lord Percy. The Percys, Northumberland’s greatest family, remained patrons of the abbey for much of its existence.The help of these wealthy benefactors proved invaluable in the 1280s when it seemed likely that the monks would abandon the site: they claimed that poor harvests, marshy ground and the inhospitable climate made life at Sawley untenable. In response, Maud de Percy, Countess of Warwick, gave valuable lands and churches at Rimmington (near Barnoldswick), Ilkley, Gargrave and Tadcaster. With this new endowment the monks stayed put.
Their problems, though, did not disappear. In 1296 Stanlaw Abbey in Cheshire was refounded at Whalley, nine miles from Sawley, and the two Cistercian houses immediately quarrelled. Their lands adjoined and they squabbled over grain supplies and fishing rights in the river Ribble.
The feuding officially ended in 1305, but the monks of Sawley, the senior foundation, continued to feel aggrieved. Sawley was considerably poorer than Whalley: it was impoverished by litigation, the ‘cruel and inhuman spoliation’ that accompanied Scottish raids about 1320, and the expense of providing board and lodging to travellers – unlike many Cistercian houses it lay on a busy main road.
In spring 1536 Sawley surrendered during Henry VIII’s Suppression of the Monasteries. However, that autumn, during the northern rising known as the Pilgrimage of Grace, the abbey was restored under a new abbot, William Trafford. The rebellion failed and Trafford was hanged at Lancaster in March 1537 and the abbey immediately plundered of its valuables.
During the following three centuries all the high-quality stone was taken and reused in neighbouring farms and cottages, and many of the abbey buildings disappeared. In 1848 the first archaeological investigation of the ruins was undertaken, and during the 20th century the site was taken into the care of the state, cleared of debris and conserved.

The remaining wall of an abbey, built from local stone, mainly random. You can see it’s been pointed up with a gritty sand / cement mortar, which is helping it to be there for future generations.
HWW!
"Another d*mn Dorothy,'' thought the Wicked Witch. She looked totally different from the one she met in Munchkinland...
I love that you’re never satisfied
with face value wisdom and happy lies
you take what they say and go back and cry
you’re so close to me that you nearly died
Here you are down on your knees again
trying to find air to breathe again
Only surrender will help you now
I love you please see and believe again
I missed tonight's most glorious sun. I knew I should have stayed in the City a little later... :) I hope someone got it so I can let you all know where to look. It was so beautiful - such a rich, round, HUGE sun in a crimson sky.
In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this golden caramel version from a while ago.

Check out this little girl!
Thoughts and well wishes for the people suffering and the police responding to a terror attack this morning at Parsons Green, London.
I’d surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it to
We’d make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I’d make you give them all to me
I’d hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender..!
I give up on this one! I have wanted to get a shot here for a few months now. I have taken photos in this little inslet my last three trips to the Marginal Way without any positive results. To me this is a tremendously difficult shot, there is moving water, deep shadows, the sun comes in from the front and a steep walls on either side limit your framing options. I worked through a few of my shots trying to get something that will do this spot justice but at this point, I don't think my photography OR processing skills enable me to get what I want out of this.
No amount of rescue work got me to what I had in my mind. HDR didn't work, DRI didn't work, manual blending didn't work. I still think the shot is there somewhere but I'm not willing to spend any more time at this point trying to coax it out.
Think I need to do a little more homework or take a PS class or two. At least there's no tidal pool in this shot!
