Thank you for visiting!

Southbound rack train Q243 throttles up at South Deshler behind a pair of YN2 C40-8's, the leader looking rough after 20-some years in the "bright future" scheme. The sunlight here was a lucky break, ten seconds sooner or later and the scene would have been shrouded in bland cloud cover.

Fall colours are fading just like the paint on this barn.

Death Valley, California

The cliffs of the Red Cathedral glow a brilliant red for a moment as the sun sets, then quickly fade into the shadows. Here only the highest parts of the cliff remain glowing, very soon to fade out as well.

A weak sun fading away and the hour is only 15.35. I am longing for the bright, warm summer evenings.

The older we get, the swifter time seems to pass and the quicker memories seem to fade

****************************************************

Another time it might have been so different

Oh if only we could do it all again

But now, now it's just another fading memory

Out of focus, though the outline still remains

So far away, away, fading distant lights

Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

And you know that these are the days of our lives,

So remember...

Like the story that we wish was never ending

We know sometime we must reach that final page

And still we carry on just pretending

That there'll always be just one more day to go

So far away, away, fading distant lights

Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

And you know that these are the days of our lives

So remember...

Another chance hello, another goodbye

And so many things we'll never see again

Oh, The days of life that seemed so unimportant

They seem to matter now, but to count much later on

So far away, away, fading distant lights

Leaving us all behind, lost in a changing world

And you know that these are the days of our lives

Remember

Genesis Fading Lights (The Way We Walk)

My Art work

We'll never meet again my Dear, Angels sing as your memory disappears

The photograph is burnt, now your only seen in my dreams....

Mjolif, your fading away,

Mjolif, your slipping away,

Mjolif, your fading away

Mjolif, your drifting away

Inspired by a the song Evangeline, by Desmond Doom on Spotify

Psalm 38:10 “My heart races, my strength leaves me, and even the light of my eyes has faded.”

"Fade Away" is an art installation by Cica Ghost.

As the sun fades the colors get brighter and the sky gets even more beautiful.

HBW!

DSC6562

I haven’t been able to go out and work on my night time series for the past several weeks. But my camera still calls to me, so I’ve returned to the studio, so to speak, to shoot flowers. I decided to use light painting. The result is really an eclectic mix of styles. Each day, I ran with whatever idea came to me, and improvised as I went along. So this is more an odds and sods collection than a series of thematically connected images. There has been a lot of discards along the way, but enough keepers to start posting. It is keeping me engaged, and I hope to soon get back out under night skies.

For a look at them as a collection, check out, Flowers & Light Painting

Hellebore (Helleborus orientalis)

Ageing gracefully. An image of the flower from 2 months ago will be in the first comment.

I have a few things to do this afternoon this afternoon so will catch up when I get a moment.

Taken near Jodrell bank in Cheshire. Was itching to get out and take some pics so it was literally a case of find something even remotely photogenic and get snapping :-)
