In his long narrative, “Milton”, Blake describes how the author of “Paradise Lost” returned from heaven and entered Blake’s foot in the form of a comet. Afterwards, the familiar world of the five senses turned into a shoe. Blake tied the shoe and walked with the Spirit of Poetry to the City of Art. A few years later, back in the ordinary world, Blake saw a twelve-year- old girl flying down to him. He mistook the girl for one of his own muses, and invited her into his cottage to visit with him and his wife, who could also see and hear “the spirits”. The girl explained that she was actually looking for John Milton. The older poet emerged from Blake’s foot, and in an apocalyptic scene, the ordinary world was transformed along with all of human perception. / Acrylics, metallic pigment and ink
Of many Wheels I view, wheel without wheel, with cogs tyrannic / Moving by compulsion each other: / Not as those in Eden: which / Wheel within Wheel in freedom revolve in harmony & peace. Shadow of delight…...Blake ties the sandal and, guided by Los, walks with it into the City of Art, inspired by The Spirit of Poetic Creativity. This painting is dedicated to Catherine Blake who was the wife of the poet, painter and engraver William Blake (1757–1827), and a vital presence throughout the life of the artist. 5th February 2009
Taken inside Milton Abbey in Dorset, England. / This is the left aisle. Milton Abbey is near the village of Milton Abbas, which is between Dorchester and Blandford Forum. Thank you for looking. / Hope you like it. Best Viewed Large.
Milton Abbas was originally called Middleton, that is middle tun the middle farm or hamlet. In about 933 a Saxon king, Aethelstan founded a monastery there. In 964 King Edgar replaced the monks with Benedictines. In 1752 the manor was sold to Joseph Damer (1718-1798), who later became Earl of Dorchester. In 1771 he decided to build a new mansion and he employed Sir William Chambers (1723-1796) to build it but the two men fell out and Chambers resigned in 1774. The new house was completed by James Wyatt (1746-1813). Damer also employed the famous landscape gardener Capability Brown (1716-1783). Damer decided to remove the existing houses in the town because they spoilt his view. He waited till leases ran out and in the 1780s he demolished the existing cottages and replaced them with new ones further away. He also moved the almshouses. The new settlement was renamed Milton Abbas.

I found this rusty old wheelbarrow and watering can tucked away behind the church at Milton on Stour, Dorset. / No doubt the gardener intended the items to be hidden from general view! / The scene could easily have been the same 50 or 100 years ago. /
Taken in the 12c Church in Winterborne Whitchurch, Dorset. / The village is on the A350 between Dorchester and Blandford Forum, and the church can be found on the Milton Abbas road. Thank you for looking. / Hope you like it. Best Viewed Large.
Have you ever been to New York? Can you even locate New York on an unmarked map?
On our last trip to Scotland we came across a amazing old graveyard in the Milton of Campsie. Most of the graves were very very old and weather worn and you could not make out the writing in most of the cases. However it just had an amazing feel to the place…... at rest with the world. Time didn’t seem to matter here…
A wonderful old gnarled tree, seen in the grounds of Milton Lodge, Milton on Stour, Dorset. / I was drawn to photograph it because of the shadows of the branches across the grass, which seem to resemble roots.
I took this in Milton Abbey, Dorset. UK. / I’m afraid I dont know anything about it, but I loved it. / Have Edited it four different ways as I couldn’t make up my mind which I prefered. / Hope you like them and thank you for looking. / Edited in paint.net Milton Abbey
This cottage is in the grounds of Milton Abbey, near Blandford in Dorset, UK. / It is typical of the beautiful thatched cottages in this area. / Thank you for Looking.
I love sleeves and record cover art. This is my tribute to the genre. It is also certainly a tribute to Milton Glaser’s ‘I love NY’ design.
Fill’d her with thee, a daughter fair, / So buxom, blithe, and debonair. / Haste thee nymph, and bring with thee / Jest and youthful Jollity, / Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles, / Nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles, / Such as hang on Hebe’s cheek / And love to live in dimple sleek; / Sport that wrinkled Care derides, / And Laughter holding both his sides. / Come, and trip it as ye go / On the light fantastic toe. Excerpt from “A’llegro” by John Milton (1631) At Geysir in Island in the glorious light from the mid-November afternoon Sun. This is basically an unprocessed image, straight off the sensor, apart from the fact that I cropped it to give me the composition I desired. Yes, the light was so intense that I did’nt realise I was overexposing slightly, but hey, I suppose those blown out spectral bits add more to the air of mystery & otherworldliness I was feeling at the time…eh… :-)

In the 1780s, Joseph Damer had the village of Middleton razed to the ground because the cottages spoiled the view from his mansion. He had these thatched houses built a mile or so away to rehouse the residents and the village was renamed Milton Abbas.
The Xscape sports centre is a real-snow piste, leisure and shopping centre in the middle of Milton Keynes, UK. It is an enormous sloping cylindrical building that totally dominates the city’s skyline. The unique shape and sheer size of it has made it a de-facto icon that symbolizes modern Milton Keynes. But it also draws visitors from all around the country to Milton Keynes, boosting the local economy…
As much as I was drawn to this window by its stained glass, its shape and the stone carvings, the real “pull” was the texture of the stone with its myriad of lichens and mosses. / Milton on Stour, Dorset.
