Submitted to Active Assignment Weekly: Infinity
WIT: I took this pic a few days ago before even checking on the weekly assignment, and have decided to submit it even though it does not seem to fit perfectly, but then infinity never does fit perfectly. It is perhaps a sense of vastness, of no end, or maybe of quiet wonder at the infinite turning of day into night, summer into fall, that makes me think there is some elusive quality of infinity here. Hmmm, a bit farfetched maybe, but whatever. I brightened this pic, and did my best at cloning and blending away a long string of electrical cables that bisected part of the sky and mountain. Apart from that the photo is pretty much untouched.
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." (Matt. 24:14)
just like that.
This was kind of melancholy. The lonely pole, the clipped power and telephone wires hanging limp. Civilization here has run up the white flag, spiked the guns, and retreated to safer shores. The field has, literally, been abandoned to the forces of wilderness and regeneration. Not a bad thing, as such; but it would probably break the hearts of the pioneers who broke their backs clearing the land in the 18th century.

Nemesis Enforcer soars past all others, but once he arrives at the great Throne Room of his Emperor, the beast that fears nothing immediately falls submissively to his knees. With his head hung low, Nemesis Enforcer offers the blue orb to his master, the mighty Golobulus.
Golobulus: 'Rise, Nemesis Enforcer.'
The winged Enforcer does as commanded. It is then that
Golobulus takes the orb from him and smiles, turning his eyes to Pythona at his side.
From the Old Gang Smelt Mill its a mile or so of easy walking along the track south-east toward Healaugh and Reeth that the "owd man" trod to work-out his daily diet of subterranean hewing, or amid the grinding sweat and labours of the smelt mill. Today those who pass along their routes are indulging pleasures - the freedom to roam and think of all that went on here before us, or perhaps to shoot grouse, an unimaginable crop of value 150 years ago. I wonder why this bridge, beautifully enhanced by Dave, is so called Surrender? It crops up elswhere, is there not a surrender bridge above Ambleside in the Lakes?

Oliver has shown a natural ability to fall asleep anywhere in any position that seems comfortable to him at the time. Here is a picture Ruth captured of Oliver joining me for a nap on the couch.
This statue is called Unconditional Surrender and it is by Seward Johnson. At the time it was situated outside the USS Midway in San Diego but I believe it may have been on loan. It's based on the famous photo V-J Day in Times Square taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt in 1945 and is 25 feet high
