I was in San Francisco, jetlagged and grumpy. It was 5:30am in the morning when I went out for a walk, and then my day got much better. / The sun was rising, the city was bathed in gorgeous golden light, and I had gotten to the waterfront, which was alive with people. This appears to be a running pier. The main subject of the photo, runs back … and forward…. and back… (you get the idea).

Changed to B&W Of the pictures I’ve taken, I think this is my favorite so far. The tone was just as I hoped it would be, and the feeling is exactly how I felt as I stopped in Ontonagon, MI on my long drive to clinicals – somewhat lonely.
People Set PLease have a look at the wonderful work Nicole does /
The lighthouse stands alone. / It leads a solitary existence whose purpose is to shine light into dark places. No two lighthouses will ever stand together….for then neither would show their true light to the world. They require space and distance to do their best work. So they spread their light across the land, and across the ocean, steadfast and courageous, guiding, inspiring, never knowing who might be touched by their radiance, always seemingly alone. Yet imagine – what if they could connect with the energy of another lighthouse in a distant place, and their combined power and light create a previously unknown magic to embrace the Earth with force and compassion. While their feet remain firmly planted on their homeground, it is only the space between them that allows the healing light to travel back and forth across expanse and time so that it can be seen and felt by all. Would the Earth itself feel this web of illumination? There must be darkness for the true beauty of light to be appreciated, there must be space for the true nature of love to shine. / ... / .. / . / (Thanks to Kryon for inspiration) PLEASE view larger for best effects…. :-))

A ‘reject’ shot to start with – a bit boring, heaps of blow-out in the sky. Decided to have a play: cross-processed it, added a texture overlay and TTV overlay and threw in some birds for good measure. /
Taken a few miles east of Leicester, near Allexton. Its that time in the UK, just before the wheat gets harvested – heavy heads beginning to nod gently under the weight of the grain, and the weather unable to decide whether it is summer or not, threatening to flatten the crop, just it is ready. Leicestershire is full of distant horizons like this, and the Barley is all but in now, much of the ground already having been put under the plough in readiness for the next crop.
What if I had done it this way? / What if I had not done it that way… / I should’ve, I could’ve and of course / Why didn’t I … Just a reflective moment in my life now. lots of Big life changing decisions to make. Taken outside of Cashion Oklahoma in June 08. Shot with Sony A-100
Another rural Leicestershire image – at least it isnt Oilseed Rape, Wheat, Barley or Grass – I found something else instead! The location is just to the East of Barkby on the Eastern side of Leicester. The light on the oats, is mainly down to a recently finished bout of fine drizzle, and the droplets reflecting the sun breaking through.
Over the hills I wear defiance on my skin / Again I start, again begin / Reaping up the seeds you sowed / I seek my life on the open road I saw evil I met danger / I’d rather chance it with a stranger / What you gave, you took away / But I live to live another day By Chris51 Model: Cherry Darling / Location: Rokewood
The dunes of aberdeen in 2007, they are a place of special interest and research as these dunes shift. However donald trump has seen to it that they will be ruined all for the cause of a golf course. I was very sad to hear he got the go ahead. The only treatment here was black and white.

this is a refresh of something i drew when i was 16… and my girlfriend lived 3000 miles away… thankfully, 8 years later… this is not the case. (same girlfriend! same house! no longer 16!) // ...and best wishes to all of you who know that sense of longing. // some of my other work:
From a distance it appeared to be simply a playground. As I neared the edge of a small stream surrounded by tall reeds, I could see there was much more than my eyes had first focused on. Great mounds of glittering gold sticks were buried beneath clay. Silver water lilies floated under rich deep layers of seaweed, lichen and moss. From out of the moss jutted flagpoles draped with ivy and scarves embellished with the faces of people I had met many years before. I watched the scarves wave in the wind. I was overcome with emotion and wept upon the steps that led toward a shelter. I ran for cover and lay upon a stone bench surrounded by flowers. Then I drifted to sleep. When I awoke my hair had turned white and my teeth hurt. I sat up and glanced around. I had a faint memory of the experience before my long, long nap. Yet now it looked once again like a playground. So I got up and played. From Inside to the Distance is acrylic on canvas 30”x30”
