I'm traveling light
It's au revoir
My once so bright
My fallen star
I'm running late
They'll close the bar
I used to play
One mean guitar
I guess I'm just
Somebody who
Has given up
On the me and you
I'm not alone
I've met a few
Traveling light like
We used to do
(Lala, lalalala, lala, lalalala)
Goodnight goodnight
My fallen star
I guess you're right
You always are
I know you're right
About the blues
You live some life
You'd never choose..........DIGITAL CAMERA
Update to an old favourite. This is what remains of an old pine tree perched on a very rocky hill. It is a place some locals visit daily to bid the tree a good day. Word has it, that it was alive until about 16 years ago. It’s a spot that has a remarkable peacefulness, and I love going there.

My Flickr friend Jake took me to the location of this old oak tree in a field at Hunston, Chichester, West Sussex.
The tree was damaged many years ago by lightning but is still standing and makes a wonderful silhouette against the last of the sunset.

I woke up at about 1:00 and looked outside. Seeing the Milky Way I decided to take my mope to the darkest photo spot on the island. About 30 minutes into taking photos a border patrol agent pulled up with his lights on and asked for an ID. I told him I lived about a mile away and he would have to follow me to my house to get an ID. He ran my plates and then asked to see my photos. When I showed him the photos he said that he had never noticed the Milky Way before until I pointed it out to him. I asked him if I was breaking any laws or ordinances and he said that I wasn't. I personally think he drives back in that spot to sleep at night and he just wanted to hassle me enough that I would call it a night. Unfortunately, the moped didn't start and I had to walk it about a mile home. The officer never left that spot. I am confident that he sleeps in his car there.
“If these olive trees could talk, they’d have a lot to say”
The local millennium olive tree groves in north eastern Spain are home to some very old trees, some over 2,000 years old, dating all the way back to Roman times.
This region of Spain has the greatest concentrations of millennium trees in the world, with over 4,000 of these behemoths in this area.
The disappearance of the olive trees is a loss for the people of Spain. As with heritage buildings, these organic remnants of past civilizations are a connection to the past and are irreplaceable.

On the UC Berkeley campus. I love this spot. The group in the distance are my morning walking buddies. HTmT!

Szrenica (1362 m a.s.l. Reifträger). The mountain peak is situated in the western part of Karkonosze (Giant Mountains) on Polish and Czech border within the Karkonosze National Park. Its name originates from the Polish word "szron" (frost).
The building in the middle is the mountain hut/hostel at the top of the mountain.
Eurasian Nuthatch / sitta europaea. Calke Park, Derbyshire. 28/01/16.
The Nuthatches were quite vocal for a while during my time in the park.
A couple were chasing about together, presumably a pair.
All calling and activity ceased though when it clouded over. A lot of birds and animals seem to be confused by the peculiar winter we are experiencing!
I took this on Thursday 05/02/09 during the week of very heavy snow in the UK. This is a very, very old oak tree in a field where I walk my dog by my home.
