Normally I'm here to show you Croydon car parks but here's one from another part of London, in Stratford, in East London, to be precise. For someone that likes to shoot architecture car parks are always an interesting challenge. They are usually very symmetrical with distinguishable lines and shapes. There's always likely to be an abundance of light and shadow because car parks are likely to not be fully enclosed, leaving room for lots of contrasts in tone and light. If I go past a car park I always look for a composition of some kind.
I've subtitled this 'when day becomes night' because this image was a post processing challenge that I set myself. This shot was actually taken in the middle of the day, at 1pm to be exact. I wanted to see if I could make it appear as if was taken at 1am instead.

I think you can believe in what you want, but in front of fear or science every religion, if not guided by blind ignorance, loses its value !

The remains of a long ago tree ... this was taken somewhere west of Campbell Town on Macquarie Road in central Tasmania. From the approach, the tree appeared very wide, almost 'hand' like. I could only get this side-on angle as there weren't many safe places to pull over.
I'm really missing the hills and mountains, especially in their winter coat. I was lucky last year with trips to the Dolomites and Snowdonia, and before that Skye and Torridon. This is much closer to home, the Brecon Beacons, a pre sunrise glow from Pen Y fan. Always worth the effort, hopefully we'll be allowed to travel a little shortly. when Doves Cry is by the Be Good Tanyas.

I have found art as means to express where words fail and fall on deaf ears.... for ones with sight and vision they can feel the power behind the image...

When it originally opened in 1914, the Power Station was one of the most advanced power centers in all of Europe, however it will likely be better remembered for its ornate Art Deco architecture than its technological wonder. Parts are still used, except the old transformer buildings and the Art Deco control room.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone to long
Anytime she goes away
I wonder, this time where she's gone
Wonder, how long she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know when she's gone
always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes
Bill Withers | Ain't No Sunshine
''You have to be
at your strongest,
when you are feeling
at your weakest...
Life is short and is here

When everything appears dark, when hope is far away, in a moment inside a seemingly useless shot you realize that nature loves you.
small little flowers appear in the snow...
It's the dawn of the year, February...
The silver and white winter will soon leave and spring colours will return...
Can you feel the sky, and let your soul and spirit fly?
Wenn die Sonne auf das Meer trifft... Können Sie das Meer riechen, den Himmel spüren und Ihre Seele und Ihren Geist davonfliegen lassen?
Cuando el sol se encuentra con el mar ... ¿Puedes oler el mar, sentir el cielo y dejar volar tu alma y tu espíritu?
Quand le soleil rencontre la mer... Pouvez-vous sentir la mer, sentir le ciel et laisser votre âme et votre esprit s'envoler?

The history of Quaglietta begins when, to stop the Saracen incursions in the Sele Valley, it was decided to build 3 fortresses: Valva, Senerchia and Quaglietta, (which however at the time was called castrum Quallectae).
The first settlement was therefore a military fortress built on a rocky spur (284 m above sea level) to which a village was added over time.
The name has nothing to do with quails as many believe but with the ancient Latin name of the area or Acque electe which translates as pure water and refers to the richness and purity of the waters that flow in the area.
Although the town is closely linked to the municipalities of the Sele Valley belonging to the province of Salerno, it is part of the province of Avellino and is a fraction of the municipality of Calabritto.
The 1980 earthquake hit this town hard but it was renovated with great attention and today the ancient medieval village retains its ancient splendor and is a tourist attraction.

------------------------------
Il primo insediamento fu quindi una fortezza militare costruita su uno sperone roccioso (284 m sul livello del mare) a cui nel tempo si aggiunse un borgo.
Il nome non ha nulla a che fare con le quaglie come in molti credono ma con l'antico nome latino della zona ovvero Acque electe la cui traduzione è acqua pura e fa riferimento alla ricchezza e purezza delle acque che sgorgano in zona.
Pur essendo il paese strettamente legato ai comuni della Valle del Sele appartenenti alla provincia di Salerno fa parte della provincia di Avellino ed è una frazione del comune di Calabritto.
Il terremoto del 1980 ha colpito duramente questo paese che però è stato ristrutturato con grande attenzione e oggi l'antico borgo medievale conserva l'antico splendore ed è una attrazione turistica.
