    Oh, that is peaceful somehow, Saz. It is so beautiful. God. You know, just to spend a moment there and then to walk on.

    Thank you.

    Oh gee, these are exquisite! I love the moodiness of the photos and the colours and textures. I went out yesterday and took some shots of my area, too. Just had to get out and away from everyone. Hope you had a nice New Year's. :D

    These are stunning, darling. Heaven knows what you could produce if you had a super-duper gee whiz camera, nothing better I venture...it's all in the eye.

    These are beautiful - hauntingly so. They make me wish I lived closer by and could take a walk there myself. What a beautiful place to meditate on life.

    I truly love the shot from under the bridge. It reminds me of some of the sights from my childhood growing up near the Neponset River, and sometimes going under a bridge just to see what might be down there!

    I love every one of these, but especially the one shot under the bridge. I personally like the natural color, but I suppose the true artists will go for the black and white. All lovely, though. Congratulations on POTW.

Loneliness...

is next to god awfulness. l enjoyed my London trip on so many levels. Though particularly because I had time to suit myself, time away from pressure of work, time away from the kids, all types of timetables. Time away from decision making, which I abhor with a passion! Sometimes, though thankfully not often when l am alone. Sitting in a coffee shop. Or in line in the bank or supermarket. Waiting in the car in line for the car park. Usually alone waiting. I get the heebee jeebee's. In plain speak a panic or anxiety attack. It comes in the form of a butterfly fluttering in my chest, a screaming in my head. Silent screaming. But I feel the noise. White noise. That drives darkness through the day like a knife through butter. It lasts but a few moments, but a dry fear stays a while.

I park in the nearest car park, courtesy of the City Council, a perk of the job. Thank you very much. And this is what l see on my short walk from car park to work! silhouette of castle gate looking back over my shoulder where l have walked from the very ineffectual Millennium Bridge this is the entrance to the underpass, which takes us under the dual carriageway that separates the Castle from the city, the Museum and Cathedral this is the underpass decorated with old local industrial machinery and the Cursing Stone produced for the Millennium and inscribed with a centuries old curse it receives the wrath of locals as it is considered the cause of all our recent ills, Foot & mouth and the Floods the marble floor containing prominent local and Reiver's name the Whispering Wall, solid glass brick, come alive with...
