We are back at the East Coast for three days and have managed a window of WiFi…

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and hope to catch up if I manage to get online between dog walks :)

Looking back towards Skagsanden beach from the sand dunes near Flakstad

Forgetting everything and just being......

Back from the east coast where we spent the weekend WiFi no longer exists and was trying to keep up with 2 bars of 3G mobile data... I buy 5G ipad 12 pro and get 3G so what is the good of that I ask myself...

This photo was uploaded last night from my PC and the date of taking was September 2019

Causing some confusion so I’m trying to rectify that lol..

I sometimes lose properties when using some software including Inpixio but have the raw file and did upload tags to show the camera and lens etc and it was in Cornwall and for those wondering about the WiFi in Cornwall - it was almost non existent there too..

Have to catch up tomoz :)

You need to clear away

All the jetsam in your brain

And face the truth

Well love can make amends

But while the darkness always ends

You're still alone

So drive home

As I get nearer to the end of this fabulous journey of Life, I find myself thinking about who I am and why I am what I am...

what will the first conscious AI Singularity be composed of?

Strandgut

I took this with my "newest" vintage lens, a CZ Jena Pancolar 50mm f1.8.

I won't have you guess what this is, because I wouldn't even know what it was if I hadn't taken it :)

I was in the back yard looking for something to photograph. The neighbour had placed something (I think it's the top of a broken bird cage, with chains to hang it) on top of a stump just over the fence between our yards. There was an autumn leaf lying in it as well as bits of branches and other "flotsam and jetsam." I liked the look of it and even though I was shooting right into the morning sun, I went for it. I'm quite happy with the bokeh taken wide open.

Theme: Backlighting

Major Scrumptious "Scrummy" Sky: (bursts onto the bridge of the Frigus Iustitia, literally sparkling) I wish you would try the Happy Springs with me, Pips. Look at me! I'm radiant!

Captain Debris "Pips" Jetsam: Scrummy, that much radiance belongs out in the corona, not on this bridge. (smiling at her Aquarian friend)

MSS: (preens, causing dazzling sparkles of light to bounce around the bridge) You're just allergic to happiness.

CDJ: (brushing sparkles away from her control console) No, I'm just wary of artificial happiness. If you and I both get happy, this ship would-

COL: (his hol appears in the forward part of the bridge) Stonehenge Intergalactic Spacefort communications to Frigus Iustitia.

MSS: Oo! (touches a glowing button on a nearby console) Frigus Iustitia to Stonehenge. Lovely to see you, Loqui. Tell me I'm beautiful, you adorable Terran.

CDJ: (sighs) Sorry, Loqui, she's been at the spa. Go ahead.

PT: Pips, Scrummy, I need you back at Stonehenge right now. This is from top brass at IRC.

MSS: Loqui, why do you sound like Plush?

PT: (stepping closer to COL so that she's captured by the hol) I'm here, too.

MSS: Good, because I've been meaning to ask, why do you Terrans still use the term, "top brass?" None of you have used brass for anything for over two hundred years-

CDJ: Scrummy ... (she smiles apologetically at PT's hol) Happy Springs.

PT: I understand, but nobody's going to be happy if the two of you aren't back here before Director Steadfast docks.

MSS: The deceptively delicious Director?

PT: Pips?

CDJ: I'll have her sobered up before we dock.

COL: (smiling) Too bad.

CDJ: (as she preps the ship for departure, recalling crew) Why is the Director coming to Stonehenge, Plush? That sounds serious.

PT: He suspects we have a spy somewhere in IRC. A spy working for an unidentified, hostile alien presence that just kidnapped a group of scientists from Hypatia, who are working on the Plicare experiment.

MSS: (seems to sober all on her own) Plicare?

CDJ: We'll be under way in four minutes, Plush. Frigus Iustitia ending hol.

I liked the weathering and the the flotsam and jetsam of what remains of the paint.

Happy Bench Monday!

Almost a year later a few miles down the coast the very newest tractor used to transport Jet Skis sank and couldn't be hauled out for days... The coast guard told me he doubted very much the revival of the tractor after being immersed in salt water for days..

A boat on Selsey beach, filled with water and other odds and ends including this snakelike piece of rope.
