Wasnt' so sure if the light will show, but i have decide to stay even I have seen the signs of no show, thick mist from distant horizon and cloudless scene. Yet small gaps of lights show in the end.
Sometimes there are things that we will regret that we did, but sometimes we are glad that we did.
Clevedon Pier, Somerset, England UK
tonight's prose…
on deck with storm clouds and espresso
maybe,
our hearts
beat for many.
so many souls
in the world,
so much happening
in our stream.
there is no right,
no wrong,
only light.
we're all where
we're meant to be.
no more waiting
for a ship
that isn't coming.
my hope
is setting sail.
-- me.
Photo taken on Blake Sea.
following my own path.
conjuring nirvana.
learning to sit with uncertainty.
living in questions, rather than answers.
choosing survival over healing.
embracing impermanence.
training the dragon in my heart.
reflecting on the mind - so excitable,
so uncertain, so difficult to control.
walking in trauma… the journey of my lifetime.
exploring this nondualistic universe.
surrounded by mystery.
inhale love… exhale doubt.

Excerpt from www.gardinermuseum.on.ca/event/linda-rotua-sormin-uncerta...:
Linda Rotua Sormin: Uncertain Ground is the culmination of over 20 years of remarkable exploration and innovation, bringing together clay, sculpture, video, sound, hand-cut watercolour painting, and digital fabrication in a multi-sensory environment that asks how life in the modern, cosmopolitan city can coexist with memories and experiences of our ancestral traditions.
Raised in Canada and Thailand, artist Linda Rotua Sormin has emerged as a leading voice in sculpture with her fearless, monumental structures. Continually pushing clay beyond its limits, Sormin’s web-like forms burst through the boundaries of the medium, literally breaking apart and re-convening in new forms. Colonial artifacts, everyday kitsch, and fragments from the artist’s studio floor dangle and nestle within the latticework.
In her first solo museum exhibition and largest project to date, Sormin delves into her lineage among the Batak people of Sumatra in the Indonesian archipelago, exploring how images and ideas of her ancestors have, sometimes unwittingly, infused her artistic practice. She studied traditional Batak divination books, available to her only in European museum collections, with access strictly controlled, as well as the script and spoken language of her ancestors. Building on her research, Sormin weaves a rich family history of shamanic and other spiritual practices fragmented by colonialism, Christianization, and diaspora.
The exhibition unfolds on three levels: a central raised platform evokes a volcanic lake with an underworld of mythical beasts and coded divination texts; a tangle of precarious ceramic sculptures suggests an earthly middle ground inhabited by humans; and a suspended projection screen references a celestial realm of spirits and birds. The result is an environment that feels alive and in motion, offering audiences an encounter that is both visceral and contemplative.
That change in colour was even more apparent as I craned my neck to look directly above me. The bridge was quiet with only the occasional rumble of a vehicle reverberating down.
Not sure, but I guess this is a slug's slime trail across a spider web.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Also known as Jangye Ryn, the cove came by its more recent name because of the silver dollars that have been found washed up on the beach over the years. However, the wreck from which those coins is uncertain.
The ship most likely to be the ‘Dollar Wreck’ is a little-known Spanish brig, Rio Nova. The Rio Nova was a wooden sailing ship, en route from Valencia and Malaga to London carrying fruit and a large amount of coin.
The ship sank sometime in December 1802, the exact date is unclear, but the inquest into the events was reported in the Sherborne Mercury on the 17th January 1803.
After the circumstances of the tragedy, and the cargo of the ship, became common knowledge people were drawn to the beach in the hope of finding a little of the lost treasure.
These young Herons were watching the world go by while mom and dad were standing guard. They did not seem brave enough to fly on their own yet. I saw them in the spring on Vancouver Island. Happy Wing Wednesday!
Was told by our guide that this was an alligator snapping turtle .. leaned out of our boat to get this eye level snap

Where's My Utopia?
I think this was my favourite photo of 2024. It has in many ways been a good year, but as with any year in this hobby, it also feels like the main line railway scene has got a bit less interesting as the year progressed.
It's a sobering photo, because after a brief flurry of grid haulage, including celebrity 56098, 6J37 reverted to predominantly class 70s after March 2024 and then in recent weeks 6J37 has more often than not been routed West Coast Main Line.
If the rumours are true, the future of class 56s with Colas is also uncertain, but rumours sometimes don't have any substance.
It's been a bit thin lately with through freight on the Settle and Carlisle, with 6K05 also routed WCML in recent months.
On the plus side, class 60s became a common fixture on the Arcow Quarry stone traffic in 2024, along with the Rylstone branch diagrams, which together with the existing Ribblehead Quarry diagram has certainly made the lower end of the Settle & Carlisle and Skipton area more interesting. I watch the continued progress with the quarry connection at Horton in Ribblesdale with interest and look forward to its commissioning.
Anyway, after a right good walk with Ruby on Twistleton Scar and a pint of Riggwelter with Seabrooks crisps in the Station Inn, my grand day out concludes as 56105 and 56049 work their way across Ribblehead Viaduct towards the station with 6J37 in January 2024.
And my favourite new music of 2024?.........probably English Teacher's This Could Be Texas followed by Yard Act's second album - Where's my Utopia?
Music and trains follow parallel lines. Neither as good as they used to be, but still some current gems to be found and enough to keep me occupied.
A pair of retired form MARC commuter rail units sit derelict stored on the property of shortline Columbia and Reading. GP40WH-2s 56 and 58 were heavily rebuilt by Morrison–Knudsen from GP40 freight units (originally IC 3040 and PC 3141 respectively) gaining flared SD45 radiators and wide noses from old F45s at that time. They served as primary MARC power from 1994 until sometime between 2009 and 2011 when the fleet was sold off excepting one retained for non-revenue service. Purchased by M-K successor Motive Power Inc. many were remanufactured again into MP32PH-Q locomotives for use on SunRail as seen in this recent image I shared: flic.kr/p/2kVW4Uj But these particular two have languished here for years along with sisters 54 and 57 which recently departed. It appears that MPI successor Wabtec sold all four to Staunton, VA based Precision Locomotive Leasing account all four are listed on their website here: www.pnlxrail.com/locomotives so maybe their story isn't over just yet!
