The "Manchester Wheel" circles above the crowds. Higher still is the trail of an airplane. Both are real and reflected in Selfridges (I think) windows. This is one of the few images on my photostream that I conceived beforehand, but I hadn't planned for the airplane trail (which I think adds something to the overall result)
I took quite a few variants of this, each from a slightly diffferent perspective. It seemed obvious to angle it so the line of the glass split the image exactly in two down the centre, with the airplane trails nicely joining up. But in the final analysis I much preferred this offset version.
The dark foreground are the hills of Tanay, then Laguna lake, interrupted by the peninsula of Angono, then returning to the rest of Laguna Lake, then Metro Manila with its skyline, then Manila Bay, then the mountains of Bataan peninsula.

Amazing how the light and warmth of the sun can improve our sense of well being (speaking as a Briton where rainy grey days sometimes become weeks and months.)
This one is the tallest (around 2m) of several Sunflowers which I raised from seed in my newly created garden to the front of my house.
The aftermath of the first stage of demolition. The final tall stack would be brought down about 25 minutes later.
From its start on Oak Lane giving access to a pretty row of stone cottages, Higher Lane changes character and becomes a wide, rock-strewn track up to Windmill Lane, now looking more like a dry river bed through a forest

Creed
"Higher"
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
So lets go there, lets go there,
Come on, lets go there
Lets ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets
