Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, a wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Flowing clothes, tinkling bell
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic
Evil power disappears
Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy
Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic
Sun is shining, clouds have gone by
All the people give a happy sigh
He has passed by, giving his sign
Left all the people feeling so fine
Never talking
Just keeps walking
Spreading his magic
[Song-"The Wizard" by Black Sabbath, off their 1970 self titled album]

The Packhorse pub is a former farmhouse on the Mapledurham Estate, near Reading in Berkshire, dating from the 17th century. It is both beautiful and fascinating: not only because of its excellent beer and food, but also its connections with Kenneth Grahame's children's novel 'Wind in the Willows', the famous 1976 film 'The Eagle has Landed' filmed mostly by the River Thames at the village of Mapledurham (after which actor Michael Caine lived for many years in the nearby village of North Stoke), and even a Black Sabbath album cover.
St. Patricks Chapel is on the coast of Morecambe Bay, a ruined building that stands on a sandstone headland above St Peter's Church in Heysham, Lancashire, UK.
It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument owned by The National Trust. The legend is that this is where St.Patrick landed from Ireland, but there is no evidence.
The ruin is Saxon, dating from the 8th or 9th century, while St. Peter's Church is also Saxon, consecrated in 967 AD.
Near the Chapel is this group of six rock-cut Tombs, each with an associated socket probably for a timber cross. These are Viking tombs, thought not to be for a single person but instead a high-status Ossuary. The tombs were once covered with heavy rock slabs, now lost.
It's a remarkable, beautiful and atmospheric site.
These tombs featured on the cover of Black Sabbath's album The Best of Black Sabbath, released in 2000.

Sunset over the Barrows of Heysham. These ancient rock hewn graves were filled with water after the wet months of weather we have endured this summer.
This is a fascinating site on this headland by the ruins of St Patricks Chapel. The Chapel dates back to 750 AD and these tombs cut into the sandstone bedrock date to the 10th Century. Each of the 6 body shaped graves have a socket hole at the top of the hollow where a cross would have been mounted. This feature became more famous as it appeared as the Album cover of the Black Sabbath record "The Best of Black Sabbath".

I ragazzi che si amano si baciano in piedi
Contro le porte della notte
E i passanti che passano li segnano a dito
Ma i ragazzi che si amano
Non ci sono per nessuno
Ed è la loro ombra soltanto
Che trema nella notte
Stimolando la rabbia dei passanti
La loro rabbia il loro disprezzo le risa la loro invidia
I ragazzi che si amano non ci sono per nessuno
Essi sono altrove molto più lontano della notte
Molto più in alto del giorno
Nell'abbagliante splendore del loro primo amore
Jacques Prevèrt

The world is a lonely place - you're on your own
Guess I will go home - sit down and moan
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you.
Black Sabbath - Solitude
Visons of a different reality.
Walking along the Great River whit the music of Black Sabbath.
Visoni di una diversa realtà.
Camminado lungo il Grande Fiume sulle note dei Black Sabbath.
Visions d'une réalité différente.

Solitude
My name it means nothing
my fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I posessed - Now they are gone
Oh where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away
The world is a lonely place - you're on your own
Guess I will go home - sit down and moan.
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you
This is a landscape view of the ancient rock carved graves on the headland at Heysham in Lancashire. I posted a portrait view of them a few days ago, but I rather like this image, so I apologise for posting a similar shot. This small headland is managed by the National Trust and consists of the ruins of St Patricks Chapel which dates from the 5th Century. These graves date from the 11th Century and would have been created for high status individuals. They were originally covered by stone lids and have wooden crosses placed in the slots which are still to be found at the head of each grave.
I popped here in the hope of catching a sunset after a day of incessant rain. At first it didn't look like the sun would appear, but patience paid off as it broke through the cloud to give this display. These graves appear on the cover of "The Best of Black Sabbath", hence the title I have given this!
Taken with a NISI S5 Filter system on my Nikon D850 and Nikkor 14-24 lens. I used a reverse ND Grad and a soft Grad to get some balance in the image.
At Saint Patrick's chapel at Heysham. Cut into the bed rock. It's not known exactly when but likely before 1066. Note the post holes at the head end to take a wooden cross.
These were featured on a Black Sabbath album cover.
“a vida metropolitana é como uma permanente colisão de grupos e conluios, um contínuo fluxo e refluxo de opiniões conflititivas. (…) Todos se colocam freqüentemente em contradição consigo mesmos (…) e tudo é absurdo, mas nada é chocante, porque todos se acostumam a tudo (…) um mundo em que o bom, o mau, o belo, o feio, a verdade, a virtude, têm uma existência apenas local e limitada (…) eu começo a sentir a embriaguez a que essa vida agitada e tumultuosa me condena. Com tal quantidade de objetos desfilando diante de meus olhos, eu vou ficando aturdido. De todas as coisas que me atraem, nenhuma toca o meu coração, embora todas juntas perturbem meus sentimentos, de modo a fazer que eu esqueça o que sou e qual meu lugar. (…) vejo apenas fantasmas que rondam meus olhos e desaparecem assim que os tento agarrar”. (JJ Rousseau, em “A Nova Heloísa”)
Urban soul
"Metropolitan life is like a permanent collision of groups and stunts, a continuous ebb and flow of opinions conflititivas. (...) All arise often in contradiction with themselves (...) and everything is absurd, but nothing is shocking, because all get used to everything (...) a world where the good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly, the truth, virtue, have an existence only local and limited (...) I start to feel the drunkenness that this agitated and tumultuous life condemns me. With such an amount of objects unfold before my eyes, I'm getting dizzy. Of all the things that attract me, none touches my heart, though all together disturb my feelings, so do I forget who I am and what my place. (...) I see only ghosts that haunt my eyes and disappear as soon as I try to grasp. "(JJ Rousseau, in "The New Heloise")
It has been an awful day in Lancashire with torrential rain, but the forecast said the rain would clear just before sunset. So I went to the headland at Heysham and it didn't look promising! But as I walked towards the ancient 5th Century St Patricks Chapel the skyline began to clear. I set up to get these rock cut graves, carved out of the sandstone headland, with the setting sun over the sea. I used a NISI S5 filter system with a circular polariser, Reverse ND Grad and soft grad on my Nikon 14-24.
These rock cut graves were created for high status individuals around the 11th Century and have rock cut sockets created for wooden crosses. I later found out that these graves were used for the "The Best of Black Sabbath” Album cover.Hence the title of the image!!
It was almost pitch black when the spotlight was suddenly turned on and hit Ronnie James Dio right into his face. The shot was totally overexposed but digging deeply into the RAW file during post processing I was able to capture some of Ronnie's facial features ... spooky!

Karlsruhe, Europahalle, Canon G9, shot from the audience
May 16th 2010: As it turned out this was the last show I was able to see with Dio. I am feeling a big loss by his death. His voice and stage performance was extraordinary. He was a true METAL GOD!
Ready for One Final Bow later today, July 5th, 2025.
I saw him the first time in 1977 with Black Sabbath when I was 17 and numerous times since, both as a solo act and with Sabbath. And I'll be watching one last time.
