You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we had
Isn't big or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I'll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
I must have taken at least 100 shots of this village. Although its a hill top village it is also surronded by hills which meant that I could never get it in direct sunlight during the golden hour. It was also difficult trying to find a location with a clear shot without any trees blocking the view. I eventually decided to use the trees to my advantage and used this little bit of of framing to add some depth.

The Sound of this little vintage Bell
Is meant to be a last Farewell
But please have no Fear
Its Strains will always be in Your Ear
To remind you of some better Times
So never forget its magical Chimes

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

One the corniest songs I know ... dedicated to the man who thinks it's ridiculous. That's just the way I roll.
“I believe I was always meant to find you.
That, I have no doubts.
I was destined to hear your voice
and the truth that only you could share.
I like to believe that it was impossible for me to go through this life without feeling you.”

I had meant to post this after I posted the tree walker photo - now you see why this heron was so willing to walk along the top of the tree.
I placed that first photo in the first comment.
These were taken just before sunset - the birds were facing into the setting sun.
The gate is meant to close the driveway to the farm and the gate is open :-) actually has nothing to do with the tulip field, but I thought it was nice to take a picture of it.
Thanks for all the nice comments, it is much appreciated

I loved the pillars and the vaulted ceilings in some of the rooms in the castle.
I liked the art work on some of the walls and trying to work out what it meant.
Bolsover Castle was built on top of/beside and was inspired by a much older, medieval fortress (nothing of which remains today) by William Cavendish.

Your love, lifting me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side
Forevermore
You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting me (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Listen
Now, once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and it soon departed
And you know, he never
Showed his face again
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting me (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher), alright
I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes, that one in a million, girl
And now with my loving arms around you
Honey, I can stand up
And face the world

This triumphal arch is situated at the northern end of Forum Romanum, Rome. It was built to celebrate emperor Septimius Severus victory in the Parthian wars (though in actually the hostilities between Rome and the Parthians continued on a few more years). The structure was built in 203 A.D. and celebrates the achievements of the emperor and his two sons Caracalla and Geta (the sons were meant to co-rule after the father's death, but Caracalla had his brother murdered and his name and picture was removed from this arch - and all other public monuments).
“Poetry, she thought, wasn't written to be analyzed; it was meant to inspire without reason, to touch without understanding.”

BLOOD OF EDEN – PETER GABRIEL & SINEAD O'CONNOR
... And when you left the fields of yellow
faded in the winds of time
the golden ears of corn bowed down
finally beyond all reason or rhyme
But now my heart has risen up
the fields are red adorned with flowers
the bluest mountains reach towards the heavens
the promise of Spring is surely ours
I thought there would never be anyone else
to replace you in my field of dreams
but gentle words flow like a river
and settle within me or so it seems
I want to believe in the everafter
when our souls will meet again
but for now I must seek the quantum of solace
in the absence of the gentlest rain
The silent tears roll down the years
and bathe me in a rosy glow
the sunshine warms me; holds me closely
I feel immense that all I know
Is carefully parcelled; tied with ribbon
red velvet bow soft to the touch
a secret gift to be opened slowly
unwrapped; unveiled and loved so much
Inspiration is my succour
that piques my salient desires
I know that you will understand me
be happy someone tends these fires
the burning embers that you left me
now ashes crumble in the dirt
dust is dust that once was earthbound
in Heaven there is no more hurt
My heart sings out the freedom of nature
like a bird on the wing I soar so high
above the mountains through the clouds
swooping towards an open sky
I reach the stars just as the night falls
and cloaks the earth in silent reverie
sweet dreams my love; I know you're smiling
your generosity sets me free
Love is freedom to be ourselves
no matter what direction we take
the ones who love us are happy for us
and theirs is the love we do not forsake
Be still my beating heart; be silent
only when the end is nigh
for I am alive and my joie de vie
my joy of life cannot be denied ...

If roses are meant to be red
And violets to be blue
Why isn't my heart meant for you
My hands longing to touch you
But I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt
Right in front of me
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
This music's irresistible
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before
Mister Inaccessible
Will this ever change
One thing that remains the same
You're still a picture in a frame
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
That's where I'll be found
Yeah yeah
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
Am I the only one
When playing meant being outdoors in shorts, having friends with whom to share the first experiences… when playing meant coming home hungry, tired and with a red face from running and the sun…
When no one was alone....
Sunflowers are meant to brighten our days. They’re yellow, happy looking and anxious to bring a smile to your face. Having a few in your garden is a must but seeing fields full of them by local farmers can make your day a whole lot better. Smiles can become contagious. Thanks for viewing my work. Stay safe and be kind. Gratitude and Kindness grow amongst all the Sunflowers growing everywhere. Why else would so many people want to live in the country admiring all that yellow beauty. Sunny days and Sunflowers bring miles of smiles.
🎶 Purple Rain by Berget Lewis
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Dancing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon, raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
In the purple rain
Taken in October 2020 on a K&F Concept workshop. An exceptionally low tide at New Brighton of 0.6m meant we could make the mile or so walk out to the wreck of the SS Denham.
We were blessed with superb conditions with some wonderful cloud cover with breaks in between. As the light faded we turned our attention to the wind farm in Liverpool Bay. Thoroughly enjoyable and I think we all managed to forget about Covid for a few hours.
Goals Lost, Dreams Broken, Lost I was in uncertainty.
Flooded by thoughts of the past I was, waiting for the end, nearing me.
~
Soon after as I waited, a glimmer of hope I saw.
Beautiful, enticing, and graceful it was, I stood staring at it in awe.
~
Zeal for my life it was, for which I yearn.
Underneath the glimmer awaited, a lesson to be learned.
~
Life was never as I surmised it to be.
For I realized as I started on my journey, the glimmer I saw, was never
meant for me...

One of the most interesting art books I have purchased recently is Tula Telfair's "Invented Landscapes" (Abrams, 2016).
Telfair was raised in Gabon, Africa, and then traveled with her family to Asia and Europe before moving to the United States of America. She is currently a professor of art at Wesleyan University, and her work is gaining widespread recognition.
Her painting is very photographic. So much so that the bookshop where I bought the book had placed it in their photography section. The amazing thing though, is that every landscape comes directly from her memories and imaginative reconstruction. She never paints from actual scenes. As Henry Adams puts it in the introduction to her book, "One might think of Telfair as a novelist in paint." I heartily recommend her work.
The only link between my collage of Greens Beach seascapes and Telfair is that I have borrowed her idea of placing panoramic images in parallel. Here's an example:
“Life always works out. Things always turn out in your favor, even if it doesn't go according to the original plan. Find comfort in knowing that all that you're currently experiencing is a transition and transformation period that's leading you to where you were meant to be.” - Idil Ahmed

“Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So, you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them, they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.”
― Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption
The rarest bird in the United States, the Whooping Crane!
In the early 1940’s the population bottomed out at just 21 in the wild and two in captivity. There are now over 800 with 37 wintering over in Indiana! This shot was taken near Muscatatuck NWR, Indiana.
From the archives and taken on 02 February, 2021.
Some people are just meant to be in your life for better and worse.

Lagos de Covadonga, Asturias, España.
Los lagos de Covadonga son dos pequeños lagos, el Enol y el Ercina, de origen glaciar situados en la parte asturiana del parque nacional de los Picos de Europa, en el macizo occidental de dicha cadena montañosa. Existe un tercer lago, el Bricial, que solo tiene agua durante el deshielo, pero también pertenece al conjunto
Se sitúan en el concejo de Cangas de Onís y se accede a ellos a través de una carretera de 14,5 km que nace en el Real Sitio de Covadonga para llegar en primer lugar al lago Enol, incluyendo también una pequeña carretera que les llevaría hasta el Lago Ercina. Su frecuente uso desde 1983 como final de etapa en la Vuelta ciclista a España ha popularizado internacionalmente el paraje.
La afluencia masiva de turistas, sobre todo aficionados al ciclismo, ha obligado a limitar el desarrollo de pruebas ciclistas en el entorno de Los Lagos. No obstante, la zona cuenta con una infraestructura turística.
La excesiva afluencia de visitas, en especial en temporada alta, también ha supuesto que el acceso en coche a los Lagos esté restringido, pudiendo acceder únicamente utilizando el transporte público habilitado para ello. Los vehículos particulares no pueden circular por la carretera de acceso a Los Lagos durante 6 meses al año, en temporada alta. En temporada baja, no hay restricciones de acceso con vehículo particular.
En las proximidades del lago Ercina, en Buferrera, hasta 1979 se explotaron minas de hierro, manganeso y mercurio. Las personas que visitan dicho paraje tienen a su disposición un aparcamiento "aparcamiento de Buferrera", un centro de visitantes , un refugio y dos bares restaurante para su disfrute.
The lakes of Covadonga are two small lakes, Enol and Ercina, of glacial origin located in the Asturian part of the Picos de Europa national park, in the western massif of said mountain chain. There is a third lake, Bricial, which only has water during the thaw, but also belongs to the group
They are located in the municipality of Cangas de Onís and are accessed through a 14.5 km road that begins in the Royal Site of Covadonga to first reach Lake Enol, also including a small road that would take them to Lake Ercina. Its frequent use since 1983 as the end of the stage in the Cycling Tour of Spain has made the place internationally popular.
The massive influx of tourists, especially cycling fans, has forced the development of cycling events in the Los Lagos area to be limited. However, the area has a tourist infrastructure.
The excessive influx of visitors, especially in high season, has also meant that access by car to the Lakes is restricted, with access only possible using public transport enabled for this purpose. Private vehicles cannot circulate on the access road to Los Lagos for 6 months a year, during high season. In low season, there are no access restrictions with a private vehicle.
In the vicinity of Lake Ercina, in Buferrera, iron, manganese and mercury mines were exploited until 1979. People who visit this area have at their disposal a parking lot "Buferrera parking", a visitor center, a shelter and two restaurant bars for their enjoyment.
I meant to find songs related to winter, and I found a song written by the Rolling Stones, which is not typical of their style! The tune is familiar, but I knew nothing about its history until I googled it. How interesting! I call it a winter surprise!
To mark the coldest day today, I guess some oldies but the goodies will make the perfect beginning of winter...
本來要找些冬天的歌曲的，沒想到找到不像滾石樂團的As Tears Go By，今年最冷的一天，就聽聽老歌吧~
