  • One of our favorite campgrounds has this lovely little pond. I happened to catch it just right that day. You had to drive several miles on a very narrow twising road through the moutains of West Virginia to get there. Very nerve wracking, especially when you are pulling a trailer. Oh, and “Romance” is actually the name of the town!

  • I’ve been misfortune I’ve been silent cold days / you became my immortal needle racing thought my veins / diminished receivings, could your love ever run dry / a sunset retreating, the moon will rule your night I wait here without you / and you say it’s ok / just believe what I don’t say / and live without what you can’t know…she said Im tired of being here, where nothing is everything / I can’t rise above this, and keep the strength to conceal / tomorrow keeps its own tears, drowning out the sun / I’m finding it hard to breathe in empty rooms and sympathy I wait here without you / and you say it’s ok / just believe what I don’t say / and live without what you can’t know…she said don’t want to wake from this dream, I see the other side / could I choose the feelings then that is what I am / a dawn that wakes without you, the colours fade away / holding on to untamed words, it brings me closer now I wait here without you / and you say it’s ok / just believe what I don’t say / and live without what you can’t know…she said -me

  • Once upon a tide / at the milkiest point of the planet / lay the underwater city of Seafield / under statues of dullest gray granite / though the timing could never be certain / it all points to a good while ago / some say it’s myth and some say it’s truth / but time’s passed and we’ll never quite know There’s talk of a fisherman named Old Penny Brown / a man of contradictions and many few words / who kept himself to himself / and fed his fish to the birds / he sailed the high seas for days and days and days / searching for a place he knew couldn’t be found / and when he never returned / folk assumed he had drowned But what really occurred / before you start feeling pity / was his little boat crashed / into this great long lost city / oh heck! oh hell! / as he mopped up his brow / where on earth am I? / and what will I do now? He stepped out of his craft / trying to deal with the strain / and watched disbelieving / as water started to drain / quickly scrambling for safety / he started to pray / scratching his skull / whilst the sea fled away There were palaces and castles / sunken ships and treasure / fairgrounds, casinos / unimaginable pleasures / I’m sure i’ve not seen such a place in my life! / he marvelled and wondered how there could come to be / such a magical wonder / hidden under the sea Every ounce of his good sense / implored him to leave / it’s risky! it’s danger! / run! hide! retreat! / but the sea soon returned / and left him no choice / he became their new leader / it became his new voice Of course it all took its toll / and the city soon crumbled / Old Penny passed on / and the buildings all tumbled / yet if you look closely / and keep your eyes peeled / you might glimpse what remains / of the long lost Seafield —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- Location: Seafield, Kirkaldy, Fife, Scotland © Donald Cameron 2009 / Monophotography.co.uk
