BUSHIT: AWOL COWARD! BY PHILLIPE DOAN
AWOL COWARD BY PHILLIPE DOAN
AWOL COWARD NO. II
Carnforth Station Briefly Encountered March 25th 2008 was the centenery and celebration of the life and work of Sir David Lean KBE, possibly one of the best, if not the best British Film Director ever. / / His career produced such classics as Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Doctor Zhivago and A Passage to India. He has been Widely acclaimed by such as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas. / / Brief Encounter, made in the last year of World War 2 Britain (1945), is adapted from Noel Coward’s one act play, Still Lives, and tells the, then, unthinkable story of a housewife (Celia Johnson) for whom the discovery of the passion of real love (with Trevor Howard’s Doctor), as contrasted to her quiet conventional marriage, brings her to the very point of suicide. / / The story, predominately, centres on their meetings at the fictional, Milford train station which, in reality, was Carnforth Station located on the southern edge of Cumbria. This location was chosen because, although at the tail-end of WW2, a blackout was still in force in London. There were no such problems in the wilds of Carnforth, and the station was, at that time, a busy junction with plenty of trains thundering by. / / The film’s soundtrack prominently features the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff and played by Eileen Joyce. / / The modern Carnforth station, almost unchamged, now boasts an impressive visitors’ centre. / / Lots of location information here / / This image is, clockwise from top-left: / 1 – the station refreshment room, lovingly recreated at the station because the film used a fictional London-based set. / 2 – The clock at the top of the ramp leading from platform 1 to platform 2. In the film the clock-facia was covered over and card-board hands were used to keep time continuity. / 3 – Rail-tracks, little changed from 1945, with the exception of the electric wires, which would whisk the two lovers together, and then apart. / 4 – A photo in the visitor centre, which shows a steam train of the era approaching the station. / / These photos were taken on 23rd March 2008 / / Image 1,2,& 3© PhotogeniquE 2008 / Image 4 © unknown all rights reserved. / This composite is not for sale.
this lion is anything but cowardly!
Location: / St. Margaret’s Bay, Kent, England Map: / Multimap Date and Time: / 16 August.2008, 6.22 a.m. Camera details: / ISO 200 : f/22 : 0.78 second : 18mm : Nikon D40 : Nikon 18-55mm lens Shot narrative: / Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, bought one of the 4 “White Cliffs” houses at St Margarets Bay from Noel Coward in 1951. Noel Coward complained that the Bay had become ’ a beach crowded with noisy hoi polloi’ (you can just hear him saying that). Ian Fleming’s vacation house in Jamaica was famously called “Goldeneye” and the title was taken to connect the two properties with a slight helping of the Golden tones in the shot. Just down the road from me at Canterbury is the Duck Inn, near Bridge. Fleming went to the pub often, and describes in You Only Live Twice how the young James Bond was tutored by his aunt in a cottage “hard by the attractive Duck Inn”. Ian Fleming’s inspiration for Bond’s codename derived from the number of the local bus: 007 which drove past the pub. Photographs from St. Margarets Bay, Kent
I took this photo of two herons in a cypress tree, one bullying the other into submission. When I found this quotation by Benjamin Disraeli, I thought it was a marriage made in heaven, the picture and the words, that is. So here it is. Thought it could suit many purposes as there are lots of bullies and bullied ones in this world.
This mask reminds me of the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz there is just something about its features
18 month old Etosha, the male brown lion. Taken at Lion Encounter Reserve, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe Etosha is part of a breeding program which is helping to keep brown lions away from extinction. The 5 stage program, run by ALERT – African Lion & Environmental Research Trust (www.lionalert.org) breeds and raises cubs in captivity, gradually integrating them back into the wild as they grow up. Etosha has since been released back into the wild, and is now monitored at a distance by ALERT staff, to check on his progress. At the start of January 2009, Etosha and his brother, Echo had both successfully hunted and killed in the wild. The program achieved a success with these 2 lions.

Some of us grew up with the Wizard of Oz. Full of magic & wonder. I was in a theater the other day & I passed a closed door that had a sign on it that said: Nobody gets in to see the wizard. Not nobody, not no how! A quote from the beloved Wizard movie. I decided it deserved a Tee!

OIL PAINTING / Image Copyright © 2008 JANE À PARIS / Professionally photographed by Citizens Photo / This painting is a diptych, her head is removable. This is my petite french lady. She is inspired from the style of Edvard Munch. / This is about betrayal, shock, disbelief, inhumanity, abuse, and torture because of politics. The serenity of her dark, secluded, beautiful swimming hole has been violently and mercilessly disturbed. They also told her not to look back, but she did… A BLOOD CURDLING silent SCREAM…
