Dark clouds rolling in. A view of post incinerator Croydon?

I really like the shape I was able to get on this one. The colour and depth I was able to get within the cloud is a little surprising to me, and pretty happy with the result.

The little black/grey specks in the photo are birds. I didn't want to take the time to clone them all out of the scene.

My fastest photo ever, out my sunroof while doing 75 on I-95 on my way to Maine... seatbelt buckled!

Near Heathrow

it snowed at our place today - the middle of Summer! I love this crazy land. My folks are currently sweltering in high-30 degree temps, and I'm running around finding jeans and jumpers.

there are a hundred things i want to ask you, to do with you

i want to make paintings with you and write songs with you

i want to show you paintings i have made and i want to read with you in bed

i want to cook for you and rub your back

i want to ask you about your childhood and make you laugh

i want to listen to records with you in complete, lush silence

you laid in the bed next to me with your hands on my face sometimes

hands on my face sometimes is my favorite

and i looked out of the window and we were talking about sad things

you said something like

i was afraid i was getting so sad that i forgot about all the people around me

and how sad they were too

and i blinked and said yeah i guess that's how some people get famous, huh

and blink again and you sort of laughed and said yeah

the window was warm and so was the light and the thunderstorm that morning felt planned

i have never been sad enough to forget that other people are sad and probably more than me

just sad enough to not really have any empathy left

but maybe that is just the same thing and a different way to say it

but in any case

i felt connected to you, as usual

and i was happy

No photoshop... just as it was!

Just a couple of images from my walk round woodside the other evening

Havelock, North Carolina, July 5, 2018, 6:33pm: The setting sun glows behind the clouds over the Neuse River as the North Carolina ferry travels from the Cherry Point station in Havelock to the Minnesott station.

A crescent moon and a bright star could be seen on the left side of the photo.
