I always try to find some magic in the photos I take in the woods. Everything's connected, the sun, the nature and us...
The mountains are calling and I must go.

Here is a shot I took while overlooking Sunburst Lake and Cerulean Lake. We barely got a view of the blue sky or the sun that day but there is nothing better than losing yourself up there.
Well, here's something to warm the cockles of any anorak's heart ...or whatever it is we have where our hearts should be. Neatly creased from being folded and placed in the wallets of methodical passengers, or thumbed and wrinkled in the hands of the less fastidious, I probably picked up most of these from the floors of parked buses on various omnibological expeditions during the second half of the seventies. As you'll know, these are all Setright tickets. How pleasing is the colouration, ranging from buff to eau-de-Nil by way of seagull and salmon. The two fourpenny tickets, second and third in on the top row, whose company names are lost to sight, came from Merthyr Tydfil Corporation Omnibus Department (there's glory for you) and Brighton Corporation Transport. The antecedents of the "blank" pink ticket in the second row must now forever remain a mystery; nor can I account for the Jersey Motor Transport Co. Ltd ticket, as I have never visited the eponymous offshore banking paradise. Second in, third row, is a ticket issued by myself. I can't remember the circumstances in which I came to retain it, but ...note the "W'KMAN" classification... it is a "Day Out" ticket, extruded from the machine at fare stage 01 ...Bristol bus station. Other points of interest are the "transitional" Western Welsh/Red & White ticket, dating from after the merger of the two companies but before their reconstitution as National Welsh, and a 1/10d ticket of the "BHAM & MID. MOTOR OMN. CO. LTD." (as M is the final letter of Birmingham, the lack of a full stop is correct). Now where on earth did I get that? Further down, the company makes another appearance, from prosaic decimal days, as "MIDLAND RED OMNIBUS CO. LTD." Two independents, both Scottish, make an appearance, but I'm not sure about A. A. MOTOR SERVICES LTD. Weren't they up in the north-east somewhere?
I'm always fascinated by rows of people outside internet cafes. Couldn't resist this one. Hope you find it interesting.
