Liza Radley

Liza Radley, see the girl with long hair

See her creeping 'cross summer lawns at midnight

And all the people in the town where we live

Say she's not quite right

She don't fit in with a small town

They just can't understand why she doesn't say much

But in a darkened room,

it's for their lives only

She cries

Liza Radley, see her jump through loneliness

Liza Radley, take me when you go

And as the people pass by, their heads in the air

Haunting with their noise, she recalls a lonely sigh

But no matter what they say, in her mind

She knows their dream of life, they won't ever find

And all the people in the town where we live

Say she's not quite right

She don't fit in with a small town

They just can't understand why she doesn't say much

But in a darkened room, it's for their lives only

She cries

Liza Radley, I pledge myself to you alone

She'd kiss my face and say love means nothing at all

She'd kiss my face and say life means nothing at all

Again trying out some artistic post processing. There are lots of these small fisherman's boat here in our country. Locally we call them "banca". These little boats which probably could only accommodate 3 people is a major source of livelihood for these folks so they keep it as usable as long as possible through proper care and maintenance, one of which is to keep it dry whenever they're not using it.

Cologne, rural area - in the autumn fields...

On the expansive, closely mown lawns, the women laid out the laundry to be bleached by the sun. Keeping it moist kept the laundry from turning yellow. The women were sometimes accompanied by their men, who were allowed to wheel the wheelbarrows with the heavy, wet laundry.

Bleaching meadows were still used in the textile industry until the 20th century. Many people also put their laundry on the bleach to dry at home

... went out last night. There was this amazing mist/fog. I had to.

Bleicherde, Neuss Hafen --- Neuss Harbour, Germany

I wanna bleach my eyes so I can't see you with him

Maybe I'm going crazy, all the lights going dim

You tore me apart and ripped away through the skin

Is it to much to ask to have it all back

Snapped with a Macro Takumar 50/4 on a dark table top, with bleach pp. and then cloned.

Temperatures were around 27C (80.6F). A stiff breeze was blowing - but it felt just like the hairdryer on warm. I intend to go at a different time, but this trip gave us a chance to look around...

A dark brown Icelandic horse with a sun-bleached mane stands in a field with a snowy mountain background, Stokksnes Peninsula, Iceland. All of the horses in the field appeared well fed and in great condition, although their long winter coats had a few muddy patches.

Bleach Green Viaducts.

Completed between 1931 & 1933, these viaducts joined an original viaduct (not pictured) built in 1848. They were built to carry trains across the Valentine’s Glen, Three Mile Water and Bleach Green at Whiteabbey.

I think at this time of day the branches look better in black and white so i will be converting them. Temperatures were around 27C (80.6F). A stiff breeze was blowing - but it felt just like the hairdryer on warm. I intend to go at a different time, but this trip gave us a chance to look around...
