How fascinating that during our lives there are moments in time that have the ability to go down in history.⏰📘
One such moment came at 17:42 on Friday the 3rd of July 2020, where were you at this momentous time, just in case anyone was out in the scullery jumping up and down on a bunch of grapes in order to make your next bottle of wine, let me pass on to you the following reportage, you cannot make it up.😜
The place was Downing Street, the subject matter, questions to the PM who had addressed the nation, what happens, yep this question is put to BoJo, “Prime Minister, should we drink a yard of ale to celebrate pubs reopening” well the cheers, whooping, trumpets being blown, beating of drums, singing, that rang out around this village, was just sheer joy. The village church bells rang to the tune of ‘Roll Out The Barrel’, Horace bounced up and down on his Olympic size trampoline, purely incredible scenes.
The noise was picked up at The Goonhilly Earth Station.🍻🎺🎶📡
The internet and phone lines in the village, all went into meltdown, morse code, tambourines anything that could be classed as a method of communication were put to use. Nancy Nancarrow, yes the lady that does glass blowing on the side, immediately swung into action producing yard of ale glasses by the thousand in her garden shed.☎️🏡🍸🍹
A crack team of ladies from the WI armed to the teeth with welding and fabrication qualifications assembled outside the church hall.
Their immediate task was to reacquisition the bus that is used for the Sunday school outings and prepare it for an exhibition pub crawl through Cornwall.🚌
They would cut the roof off the bus with Oxy-Acetylene torches and turn it into a cabriolet, these measures were required in order to follow guidelines that it is safer for large groups to be in the open air.
Next step was to expertly cut out the double seats and weld in a job lot of chairs from the church hall at two meter spacings.
Bus conversion complete, these ladies were good to go.🔥🔥
Trixie Trebillcock and Betty Beswetherick, had been in a bubble or on a bender some miles away in Wadebridge when they heard the cheer from the village go up, they immediately phoned back to the village to ask Nancy what was going on, once informed they asked, could they be picked up from Wadebridge next day on route for the pub crawl to celebrate this momentous moment in time.👯♀️🎉🎊
Mrs Trebogus said she would drive the bus for the pub crawl.
With representatives from many of the organisations in the village sat in the single seats of the bus cabriolet and every member armed with a yard of ale glass they set off from the village via Wadebridge, duly collected Trixie and Betty, then headed off through Cornwall, stopping off at numerous hostelries testing their yard glasses before one final stop in Penzance.🍺🍺🍺🍺🍷🍺🍷🍺🍷🍺🍺🍷🍺🍷🍺🍷
Following the consumption of about twenty yards of ale each in Penzance alone, some of the ladies were a bit worse for wear, some even went missing.🙈😜
As it was getting dark Mrs Trebogus had to get back to the farm in order to milk her Friesian cows. Therefore she took the decision to round up the ladies she could find and transport them back to the village. (I bet you have all been out on a day like this if you are honest)🐄🐮🐄🐮🐄🐮
When Trixie and Betty staggered back to the RV point, they could not believe they had missed the bus, Trixie said “we will have to walk home”, Betty responded, we can’t do that, we are not fit to walk, we will have to drive. 😱😱
Trixie said “but we don’t have a car”, Betty responded don’t worry we will borrow one, Trixie said “don’t be stupid, there won’t be a car around here that is taxed, so forget that, how about we borrow a bus from Penzance bus station”, brilliant idea responded Betty.🚗🚌
So Betty stood guard outside the large bus station while Trixie went into borrow a bus, well after about half an hour of engine revving, clattering and banging, Betty shouts in “what on earth are you doing”, Trixie responds, I’m doing my best but the bus for Wadebridge is parked at the back.🚌
Betty shouts, “take the one for St Columb, we can walk from there”.🚌🚶♀️🚶♀️
Thank you so much for viewing my photos, the banter and comments you leave are so appreciated.
Take care, have a lovely weekend

Just learned "Twists of Time" earned a Highly Honored award for this years Natures Best/Smithsonian Wilderness Forever Exhibit. The image will go on display at the Smithsonian in Washington DC this September and will also be featured in the next issue of Natures Best Magazine. Super cool!
A perfect Autumn's day comes to an end at Ullapool Harbour, Scotland. This is a 6 shot hand held pano with frames taken in portrait orientation then cropped at a 2:1 ratio. I normally prefer to have the horizon dead centre on my pano's but the cloud formations were so impressive I just had to include more sky - hopefully the composition works.
Have a great weekend all!

With things warming up 'slightly', there's a bit of heat haze distortion here but still good to see a 747 - if slightly warped

Another teacup photo just for you. I could always use another one in my stream, right? I am not too sure about my choice of focus here but I liked the tones too much to not post it!

These old windows have seen in the past centuries pirate ships, sailboats, war ships and now these modern fast boats...
Time passes by, but the old windows are always there...

"Time for Fun" is massive sculpture by Seward Johnson. Behind it is the Key West Museum of Art and History, built in 1891. The building, described as "Richardsonian Romanesque" architectural style, once served as a U.S. Customs Office, Federal Courthouse and Post Office.
Time for Fun is a 25 foot tall sculpture, inspired by an 1883 painting ("Dance in the Country", Pierre-Auguste Renoir).
It's New Year... A whole new year lies ahead of us. Time is precious, cannot be bought and you can only use it once.
I wish you all a very beautiful, healthy, loving and creative year ✨.
Time - Pink Floyd
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
Songwriters: David Jon Gilmour / George Roger Waters / Nicholas Berkeley Mason / Richard William Wright
Some great lighting can be had at this time of day ... came together nicely here at the end of the pier in this composition.
Actually, having no time at the moment, not sure where it goes!
This is my second idea for macro Monday’s, set alight a sprinkle of watch parts with lighter fluid and tried not to scorch my lens.

I took a trip to one of Brisbane neighbouring Islands this weekend just gone and rode around on the pushy with my best mate, camera in tow of course. We managed to stumble up on these dead trees, some nice jetties and beautiful beaches! I love little explorations!
A re-visit to these fellas at sunset is a must!
day 1 roidweek, Polaroid time zero film on SX70 Alpha 1 camera. Have posted this on twitter, and here it is on flickr.
Macro shot of an old watch found in a junk yard. To me it shows the passing of time (aged, corrosion).

As I approach my third semester law school finals, I realize that I never quite have enough time on my hands... Every thing is a schedule, an alarm clock, an appointment. Time is definitely on my mind this "time of year." Here's to finding the time and remembering what's important with the time we have :) Enjoy the weekend everyone!
