seen at Deas Island Park where we ventured out of our warm car and scurried around snapping pictures. It was so beautiful and sooo cold !
Firstly, a brief note about the song from the internet -
" In a VH1 True Spin special, the The Vapors were asked about this song, and they explained that it is a love song about someone who lost their girlfriend and was going slowly crazy. Lead singer Dave Fenton said: "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to." It was inspired by Fenton's relationship problems.
That recognizable opening riff repeated a few places in the song is actually called "the oriental riff". It is often used when a Western song wants to invoke the Far East; other popular examples are Carl Douglas' "Kung Fu Fighting" and Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Hong Kong Garden."

MALMÖ (Suécia): Turning Torso.
Turning Torso é um arranha-céus localizado na cidade de Malmö, no sul da Suécia, no lado sueco do estreito de Öresund. Foi desenhado pelo famoso arquiteto Santiago Calatrava com base em uma de suas esculturas, feita em mármore, chamada "Twisting Torso". (Wikipedia)
LNER Azuma Hitachi Class 800 No. 800104 rounds the curved Nairn Viaduct at Culloden with 1W16, the 12:00 London Kings Cross – Inverness 'Highland Chieftain' service on 18th July 2021.
The image title is, of course, inspired by the 1980 hit by The Vapors which reached number 3 in the UK charts.
Due to a strike by ScotRail staff this was one of just three revenue earning passenger services over the viaduct on this day, the other two being the morning southbound LNER service and the evening southbound Caledonian Sleeper.

"Le lotus, ami des eaux dormantes, plonge ses racines dans la fange. Le bel élan de ses tiges porteuses de larges feuilles évidées comme des coupes, la carnation lumineuse de ses fleurs ne laissent rien soupçonner de cette origine innommable. Ainsi incarne-t-il aux yeux des Chinois la pureté triomphante, qui transmue comme par enchantement la boue en fleurs"
(François Cheng, poète français né en Chine en 1929)
‘The lotus, a friend of still waters, plunges its roots into the mire. The beautiful slenderness of its stems, which bear broad leaves hollowed out like cups, and the luminous complexion of its flowers give no hint of this unspeakable origin. To the Chinese, it is the embodiment of triumphant purity, transforming mud into flowers as if by magic’.

|| first pose I made from scratch in Black Dragon, what better birthday present could I give myself?
Bailey Longcloth enters the med den heading for Ioh's bed. She check brain function and vitals all seeming to be unchanged from the morning. "Bro, you've got a lot of people worried about you." she'd stare down at her brother watching him appearing to be asleep
Bianca Bender comes up the stairs she'd see Ravi but heads straight into the Med Den, knowing Elise is following.
Ravenne Karu glances over and mewls to the two.
Bianca Bender blinks stopping inside the door...going forward..."Dazy...." sound suncertain...something..the build...the scent under the pink dye..isn't right...
Elise Capalini follows Bianca into the med den. That pink isn't right...and neither is that scent... "What the fuck is going on?" she growls.
Bailey Longcloth turns hearing her name, "O hai" she'd smile to both Bianca and Elise . She shrugs, "What do you mean? I know I haven't been around much but.."
Bianca Bender seconds Elise's growl...her's more confused..but relief as well...."Bails!" frowns when she says that...and looks at Elise....and back to Bails..."Cut it out...what the hell's going on..."
Bailey Longcloth rolls her eyes, "Not you too Bianca, I'm Dazy, -not- Bails"
Elise Capalini only stares, feeling like she's in a nightmare.
Bianca Bender would take a few steps forward...and reaches out fingering the very identafiable necklace around your neck unless you step back...she'd look up either way...gritting between her teeth..."Try...Again."
Bailey Longcloth steps back a bit before Bianca can grab the collar, "Yeah, it's Bails' I sent her home. She'd left it here when she woke up. I fixed the clasp and put it on so I didn't lose it" she'd shake her head at the stitcher, everyone had to be delusional
Bailey Longcloth stares back at Bianca, "Fine I'll do it but I checked him this morning and he's fine" she'd go over to the sink washing her hands before putting on gloves. She'd take a syringe out of the cabinet before turning to the med cabinet. She'd take her key out and unlock it taking the anticoagulant down, measuring the dosage and turning back to inject it into Ioh's IV
Elise Capalini shoves her PDA away, watching the Dazy-Bails with the drugs. Did Bianca trust her to actually do that? Shit....shit...shit. "Bianca, i want her strapped to the other bed. This isn't--right."
Ravenne Karu steps just inside still holding her PDA. She opens her mouth, then closes it, waiting for a moment.
Elise Capalini snarls as the doors open, but quiets when she sees Ravi. "Ravi--do you have intel on Dazy?"
Bianca Bender frowns...watching Bails follow her orders...and would stride forward reaching for Bails hand before she can inject the drugs into the IV, "Damn you...." pulls the hand back...."You should know that's to much..you'll turn his blood into water..." mrowls and looks over at Elise but nods, "See if you can find the other restraints in the work room." seeing as Ioh is already strapped down..why not make it a family affair.
Bailey Longcloth hears her name, "I'm standing right here!" she'd growl at no one believing she was who she said she was
Ravenne Karu shakes her head and murmurs quietly "No.. I was wonderinf if there was anything I could do... though.." she steps in closer and whispers to Elise, glancing over to the pink haired one.
Eamon Cale turns toward the warm feathered weight on his shoulder, and murmurs soft Gaelic to her. Lenore murrs and nibbles at his wild black hair, then she spreads her wings and launches into the gloom, winging her swift way to the top of the building before him, to wait. The priest watches her go, then he raps on the med den doors with the head of his cane.
Bailey Longcloth growls hearing the mention of restraints as Bianca grabs the syringe, "You are -not- restraining me! You know..." she'd begin to tense as if she was gonna run right past them all
Elise Capalini moves toward the work room, talking to Ravi as she goes. "You're a ghost--what's the first step? We gather intel. Dazy's last known location...search in and around the den for any evidence--is this tied to the bombings or is this something else?" She roots through lockers and finds restraints, her eye narrowing.
Bianca Bender would make a quick decision...she'd let the syring fall and would make a grab for Bails arm twisting it up and into her back..."No you don't." she'd felt the girls need to sprint.
Bailey Longcloth growls and tries to pull away from Bianca, "You can't... you wouldn't do this to me" she'd twist her head to look at Bianca, the fear and terror in her eyes plainly obvious
Ravenne Karu turns suddenly as there's a rap on the door. She steps forward to open it, then hears a commotion behind, turning back before she saw who was on the other side, having unlocked the door but not opened it quite yet. "Right. Was thinking on that."
Bianca Bender murrs and bites her lip hard...but keeps the pressure on Bails arm..."It's for your own good kitteh...don't want you out running around...with someone else brain in your head...or what ever the fuck is going on...." she'd look towards the door at the rap but keeps a tight hold on Bails, adding an arm wrapped around the front of her shoulders and pulling Bails back against her chest...."Don't fight...you'll end up dislocating..or having me break your arm...and we really don't want that now do we..." looks frantic as she sees Eamon coming through the door.
Eamon Cale hears the click of the lock, but no one opens the door. One dark brow arches slightly, and a bit more when he hears the sounds of a commotion on the other side. He shifts his cane beneath his arm and opens the door, and slowly steps inside... only to find himself faced with a psychedelic Bails. "What in the name o' the Mother o' God...?"
Elise Capalini comes back into the other room, still snarling, restraints held in one hand. "Dazy," she says to the cat who is obviously not Dazy, "this is for your own safety--we don't wnat you to hurt yourself...or Ioh...or anyone in here." She looks at Eamon and blinks. "Welcome to the mad house, love."
