‘Guess your dreams always end.
They don't rise up, just descend,
But I don't care anymore,
I've lost the will to want more,
I'm not afraid not at all,
I watch them all as they fall,
But I remember when we were young.’
This is the second track I’ve chosen from the album ‘Unknown Pleasures’, which is 40 years old this year. The link is to a ‘re-imagined’ video made to celebrate the anniversary.
I always feel very fortunate on an evening to have a lovely walk to the station, it’s a fantastic way to unwind after a busy day at work. I do sometimes feel guilty though, people making their way home from work often look completely beaten by it all. Even the rays of autumn sun didn’t bring cheer as people dashed by!
Commuters make their weary way home and prepare to board 1F74 16:44 Scarborough-Liverpool Lime Street. The train was in the care of 68027 ‘Splendid’ on the evening of Wednesday 2nd October 2019.
It has been pointed out to me recently (on a couple of occasions…!) that I don’t ever acknowledge or say thank you for the compliments I receive on my posts. And it got me thinking…
I would hope that people realise it would be futile for me to acknowledge each and every comment I receive. And hopefully it is accepted that this is a two-way thing; my recognition of the comments is to continue to post and share my story. Ultimately, as I believe I have stated before, my reason for using this forum has changed in recent years; it is wonderful to learn that so many of you draw inspiration from my journey, and I am happy to continue providing an (honest) insight into my world.
That said, it is maybe rather poor of me to not say the occasional communal ‘Thank You’ every once in a while, particularly to acknowledge those of you who clearly take time to craft a heartfelt comment or relate my experience to their own.
And so, to put right that wrong, a BIG THANK YOU to you all.
I’ll keep sharing if you keep commenting (hopefully positively!). And I’ll even try to remember to acknowledge y’all every so often. How does that sound?
Cheers everybody

Not at all often do you come across the original Insights. Even working at a Honda dealer I've never seen one come in. This was looking pretty ropey, with various bits missing. However it has done 166k (August last year) so it's being used for what it's designed for.
Never lose an oppurtunity of seeing anything that is beautiful.....
Welcome it
in every fair face,
in every fair sky,
in every fair flower.....

Will be busy printing and framing in nice large, matted formats and frames and museum glass! Five of these photos will be printed on 40" x 60" floating wall mounted metal sheets! I think I know which--will share photos of the photos hanging on the walls!
And I am mounting some on plexiglass/acryllic--front mounting them! Some I am printing on lossy fuji-crystal archival paper too, and then front mounting 40"x60" versions to plexiglass--will send photos!
The secret to HDR photography is that you want people to say, "Woe dude--that's unreal!" And not, "Dude--that's not real!" "Unreal" is the word they use when they're trying to figure out the photo--what makes it cool--is it a photo? Is it painted? How'd it come to be--how'd you bend the light that way? "That's not real," is what they say if you have the saturation/HDR/ etc. turned up too high. :)
Some (almost) final edits for my Los Angeles Gallery Show! Printing them on metallic paper at 13" x 19" and mounting and framing them on a 4mm 18x24 white mat and 2" dark wood frame. Also printing some 40" x 70" which is over three feet by five feet! Wish you all could come (and hang out with the goddesses)!
Let me know your favs.!

Homer's Odyssey: Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide. . . Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; --Homer's Odyssey translated by Samuel Butler

Window of a remote derelict cottage midway between Heaton and Danebridge, more than a mile off the public road, in Staffordshire. Oddly, this cottage seemed derelict AFTER former renovation, now awaiting further renovation.
Sometimes life can get a little blurry and it can be hard to stay focused. But as long as you never lose sight of what is most important, you'll make it through just fine.

... into Johann Sebastian Bach's life. Window of the Bachhaus' modern part in Eisenach (Thuringia, Germany), where Bach was born.
At the big, lighted column on the left side you can learn about different parts of Bach's work (cantatas, masses, preludes & fugues, works for choir...) and use ipods to listen to examples. The modern addition to the historic building was highly controversal, but I like it.

I am very nervous... this is the first time I have ever done anything like this.. I hope my work stands up to those around it.
Meconopsis cambrica, the Welsh poppy, is a perennial flowering plant in the poppy family Papaveraceae.
It has yellow to orange flowers and is widely grown as a garden plant. It is a native of damp, rocky sites in upland areas of Western Europe from the British Isles to the Iberian Peninsula.
The plant can grow between 30–60 cm (12–24 in) tall. It blooms between June and July.
The flower is distinctively yellow or orange with four petals, and coarsely hairy green sepals that fall off soon after the flower opens.
The flower’s stigma has seven distinct lobes radiating from its centre. The ovary positioned beneath the stigma.
It spreads easily from the numerous small black seeds produced in the summer, from a long, ribbed capsule that opens with flaps.
I have wild yellow poppies in the garden, they are the most ephemeral of flowers. Everything has to be ready before you bring them in, bang, a few photographs, this one lost a petal along the way immediately.
I put them in water, in no time the pretty heads are hanging.
Wishing you all the best and thank you, M, (*_*)

The first view of Mars by the InSIGHT lander, captured just after 12 noon PST on Nov. 26, 2018. The dust cover is still on the lens, so there's debris visible but you can see the terrain and horizon beyond. Eventually the cover will be removed for surface operations. This version has been edited to bring out detail; see the original at mars.nasa.gov/resources/22159/insights-first-image-from-m...
