Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.........
Today WAH are visiting Vans of the World
Managed a bad shot on the way home (I was a passenger) but a bit of heavy editing and cropping I guess its a'right. Heavy clouds and we just might get some much needed rain later.
Also:
Mercedes Benz is a cappella song written by the American singer Janis Joplin with Bob Neuwirth and the poet Michael McClure. The song was originally recorded by Joplin in 1970 and is a song about the desire for possessions and pleasure. It was her last recorded song before her death.

#29/123 Doom and Gloom: 123 Pictures in 2023.
What you see here is virga which is a mass of streaks of rain appearing to hang under a cloud and evaporating before reaching the ground.
So no rain out of this.
It's been a very unsettled week. Weather wise, a small tornado passed by not too far from here, we had heavy rain, wind, dark skies, work was busy, and I'm under the weather with a virus of some sort.
Henry Miller said, "everything remains unsettled forever, depend on it."
Well, it can't all be doom and gloom - there are always rays of light. Driving back from a patient visit, an opening in the clouds allowed a small patch of warm evening light through onto the road ahead of me and the fall colors absolutely lit up in appreciation. A moment later, it rained and the coughing started again. C'est la vie!
119 in 2019 - number 36 Doom and Gloom
We started out with sunshine this morning, then hail, then this black cloud and now it's bright again … 4 seasons in one day, again :)
(54/365) For 119 Pictures in 2019 #36 "Doom and Gloom". This is actually the ruins of an old white lime plant just north of Austin Texas - this is one of the chimneys for the kilns. White lime is made from limestone, which is quite plentiful in this region. The quarry is still in operation along with a modern plant just behind these ruins. I had hoped this tower would be surrounded by fog and mist (which was predicted), but I got here just after sunrise with the clouds retreated to the east and the sun peeking over them. So I did this conversion to mono, and I think it looks suitable gloomy.
Winter feels like it's moving in fast this week :(
Please check out my profile, and catch some more shots over on todays NEW Blog updates :))

#36/119 Doom and Gloom: 119 Pictures in 2019
It is a bit of a gloomy image because there wasn't any sunset colors this evening, but hey.. it's all part of the art. Have a happy Saturday!
The Greek economy may be all doom and gloom at present but when I took this there last week these young ladies were oblivious to all that kind of stuff!

I got home before the rain, but it was dramatic watching the dark clouds forming up.

Winnie the Pooh asked, “Lovely day, isn’t it?” And Eeyore responds in true Eeyore fashion: open with something affirmative and then bring in the punch line for a slam dunk.
“If it is a good morning, which I doubt.”
Today has been a day of sunshine and showers, so off I went to a vantage point to see some stunning cloud formations. This is overlooking the place where the River Trent and the River Ouse meet to form the River Humber. The tide was out, but all three rivers can be seen across the centre of the image. Standing the best part of 50 metres high, overlooking an area of wetland called the Alkborough Flats, views are afforded way across Yorkshire over the north side of the rivers. The information panel shows sights that can be seen from this point. Such as the top of York Minster, Drax Power Station, the northern most part of the Derbyshire Peak District and the Yorkshire Wolds are all in view on a clear day.
Today though it was as if Armageddon was arriving, a wall of cloud spread over the horizon and moving ever closer as each minute passed. The once singing birds fell silent as the wind died down and an eerie silence descended. All that was left to do was to watch as the end of the world slowly approached, enveloping the photographer in a wondrous sight that he’ll never forget..........

This is it folks,the world will come to an end today (according to the ancient Mayans) perhaps its already happened but nobody told to lie down and play dead ............. Hellooooooooo is anybody out there! Nope no one............... seems like a good time to go and do my crimbo shopping
(I like this on black best. Just hit L on your keyboard.)
I find that I really rely on the eyes to express the emotion of a portrait. I wanted to see what I could convey when the eyes are covered.

This composite photo is based upon a shot of the sunrise of last week.
The tower is a sculpture that my son had made during his time at college, studying Art. The lighting and fire were produced using fibre optic PWL brushes.
Sadly I had to use stock images of Dragons as the ones I tried to photograph in the wild were too quick to get a decent shot of them in focus lol.
123 Pictures in 2023, theme # 29 Doom and Gloom
This was what I call a “Gloomy Gus Day.” I took this out of a window because it was raining too much to go outside to take a picture. The fog lifted, but it was dark and rainy all day. There is a pond beyond the willow tree and then some woods. I think that maybe, back in the woods, the three witches from Shakespeare’s Macbeth are stirring their brew in a cauldron.
“Double, double, toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble!”
-William Shakespeare, Macbeth

119 Pictures in 2019 - #36 Doom and Gloom
We have witnessed a few shelf clouds like this one lately. Thankfully, we have been spared severe weather (other than over nine inches of extra rain for the year).
VIEW LARGE
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

As the pound Sterling continues to plummet there'll be no more greengages. ("greengages - wages")
"Cockney Coded", the book, is now available at www.blurb.com/books/1794316.
I don't know how these two images ended up close enough on my computer to make me think of putting them together. Since I'm an optimist, I wouldn't normally make this kind of statement, but, the textures and complimenting gray scale just totally worked.
Fire in York Street
Sadly on the same day of the fire at Notre Dame, in Paris, the Pizza Romana building, one of the old building of York street in St Helier, went up in flames too.
