Having left for Iceland just as Covid-19 started to hit the UK, it's now been over six weeks since I saw any work colleagues or friends, chums, pals: whatever they want to call themselves.
I'm missing the chance to meet up again, and the freedom to go to places like Dinorwic and Dinorwig.
I'm caught here looking wistfully out at the rain, looking for salvation from the skies and watching out for the Starlink satellites. But even that isn't happening. Three nights I've watched now. Nothing.
But we must be patient. We've got to be strong together and self-disciplined or this awful threat will plague us forever.

No fun ringing in the new year alone. Hoping you are back home soon...

This is a pretty dark track, that's JD for you, but I can't help think of the 'bag' scene from Django! If you haven't seen it, here it is.
Tarantino's dark humour!
this is possibly my texture picture favorite so far, but that's probably bc it's blue-- right?

I had lined up my shot of a sparrow sitting on the corner ledge of the fence, but it was gone when I pressed the shutter.

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.”
― Lewis Carroll , Alice in Wonderland
"I want to chase them! Can I never turn back?" She asked, looking longingly up at the sky, towards her dreams, towards adventure... towards the unknown.
"But what about what you already have here?" A response with another question, eyeing her with disapproval. "Responsibilities, promises and what society expects of you..."
She pouted, heaving a huge sigh, still looking up at the sky. Stubborn nature taking over, "I don't care, I'll never come back." she said adamantly.
"In due time..." The words were whispered, a hand reaching over her chest, "Don't waste time..." it repeated over and over...
P.S. Photo taken at one of Missing Melody's public spots, the open meadow. Best place for inspiration and relaxation. ;)
Salzburg, literally "Salt Fortress, is the capital city of the State of Salzburg and fourth-largest city in Austria. In 2020, it had a population of 156,872.
The town is located on the site of the former Roman settlement of Iuvavum. Salzburg was founded as an episcopal see in 696 and became a seat of the archbishop in 798. Its main sources of income were salt extraction and trade and, at times, gold mining. The fortress of Hohensalzburg, one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe, dates from the 11th century. In the 17th century, Salzburg became a centre of the Counter-Reformation, where monasteries and numerous Baroque churches were built.
Salzburg's historic centre is thus renowned for its Baroque architecture and is one of the best-preserved city centers north of the Alps, with 27 churches. It was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The city has three universities and a large population of students. Tourists also visit Salzburg to tour the historic centre and the scenic Alpine surroundings. Salzburg was the birthplace of the 18th-century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Because of its history, culture, and attractions, Salzburg has been labeled Austria's "most inspiring city." (Wikipedia)
Imagine looking for a missing sock in this vast windy desert of New Mexico. If the washing machine didn't eat the sock, the wind probably plucked it right off the clothes line and blew it into the next county.

Returning from a jaunt down the road, it occurred to me that this opportunity had a story attached to it. The sun had set, I had purchase a few items from the local store, and was travelling back home. However, when I came across this closed umbrella sitting on a dock, I thought the residents were missing out on natures play.
They were within hear shot above, while all below had been wrapped up for the day. Long after the dinner hour, this is what should have attracted their attention. Instead, it became my opportunity to tell a story. How a vacation from the moment, resulted in the absence of nature's dynamic crescendo.

Last stop on our way back to Hallstatt was a brigde by a little gasthaus which seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. And it was dark- so dark. I pride myself on having quite good vision in the dark, but I could barely see a thing. Poor Michael almost stepped in a hole that went straight through the bridge (it's not one that you should be walking across). I'm not sure he could really see what I was photographing, other than the colour black. This was a bit of a test for my camera; I've not been to a place with such little ambient light before.
I had to use really rubbish settings to get anything remotely decent, so whilst I'm happy with the shot itself, the quality isn't great.
