So many shades of gold

Autumn

Another miracle we take for granted

Another expression of the artist's vision

The blending of the autumn hues

with the setting sun

Warm

Comforting

Perfect

Thank you for autumn, Lord

After challenging myself to post the Dungeness shots, here is something very simple and pleasing to photograph.

"Lord, make me a channel of thy peace - that where there is hatred, I may bring love - that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness - that where there is discord, I may bring harmony - that where there is error, I may bring truth - that where there is doubt, I may bring faith - that where there is despair, I may bring hope - that where there are shadows, I may bring light - that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted - to understand, than to be understood - to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen."

Hard to believe this scene overlooked one of the worst murders ever recorded in Nottingham, literally yards from this spot in 1844.

A man murdered his wife and three children by slitting their throats. His hanging drew crowds who at the very centre of my city got congested in a steep flight of stone steps right beside where the Nottingham Contemporary Art Gallery stands now and many people were seriously injured and died..My mother warned us to stay clear of this part of the wood but you know what children are like.........

One one the worst things about the report was the statement

"There was a wonderful mass turnout to watch the hanging "

One of the best things is that Colwick Woods is still one of the most peaceful places on earth.......

The name of Nottingham man William Saville is writ large in the annals of criminology and social history. It holds against it the direct responsibility for the deaths of at least 21 individuals and the serious injury of many more. However, Saville was no mass-murderer. His crime was the murder of his wife and three children. It was the circumstances of his public execution outside Nottingham’s Shire Hall on the 8th Aug. 1844 which led to the unforeseen deaths and mutilations of his other victims. It also led directly to the change in the local authority’s policy towards public hangings and indirectly influenced attitudes regarding capital punishment.

Ripples never come back

Gone to the other side

Sail away, sail away"

"I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade... And try to find somebody whose life has given them Gin, and have a party."

Spotted this vehicle out in the country, I do believe it's a Police training vehicle. Note the extra mirror attachment on the nearside door mirror.

Not Sure If This Was Ever A Real Police Vehicle! Sorry About The Quality Was Taken On A Whim 👍

The lofty pine is oftenest shaken by the winds; High towers fall with a heavier crash; And the lightning strikes the highest mountain.
