‘The Bends’. Have you ever stopped to wonder about a bend in the road? Early man (or animal) ambled along until an obstacle came his way - he ponders a while then decides the best option and goes left or right until the next obstacle - and goes through the same thought process again! And every man since then has followed suit trusting his forebears intuition. Hitherto the ploughman must do the same and will continue so for the edge of his field is down the same well trodden path!
366 - I’ve decided to do this to force me to pick up a camera other than when we are away on our travels (they will be posted as normal) - I will be interested to see what transpires, they will be varied I’m sure so we’ll see where inspiration takes me over the course of the year, hopefully at the end of it I will be a better photographer. Feel free to critique as you see fit, but please don’t feel obliged, I anticipate they will not be to all tastes. Have a great year and if you also have embarked on a 365 project then good luck in seeing it through, Alan:-)

Here's an example of the many log trucks hauling chopped trees to the mill, where most of it is ground up & shipped to China to be turned into pressed wood for cheap furniture & shipped back to the USA. It's stocked on shelves to be sold to consumers for governments & corporations to profit while they lecture the citizens of the world about climate change, greenhouse gases & melting ice caps. Meanwhile, they cut down the lungs of our planet, which allows us to breathe & also keeps the soil in place with their roots as well as helps maintain a stable climate! Does anyone else see the hypocrisy in this?
It's lovely to see that underground staff (1) have a sense of humour and (2) are trying to brighten the lives of commuters;-)
They could also give a thought to an alternative to strike action. That really would brighten the commuters day.

Day 1 of a 4 day weekend was spent in London. The main destination was the Imperial War Museum but I also spent taking photos on a project that will be on Flickr when its complete.
