Poem Collaboration time people :) :) The idea here is to add TWO lines of the poem and let someone else add another two lines as we form a poem around the photo that can be added to the Red Bubble Collaboration Hub. :) Get involved and let’s see what wonderful work we can all make together :) :) Hapless in the wind again / No need to turn and wonder / Fateful days are coming soon / bareback on roll of thunder / Lightening streamers from broken clouds / As I gaze towards the sea / The sea gazes right back at me / Oh I see I see the sea / For wind it empowers me, of this i am sure / and to the skies i reach whilst on circular chore / and as i watch, with all my wonder / the reaching skies, the clouds out yonder / a broken sentinel, stark and still / beneath a reborn sky / And while I gaze upon the mill, the battered blades laid bare / It is my soul, for all to see, far beyond repair / For my soul has been ripped and torn for many a long year / But unlike the clouds of recent times, I’m unable to shed a tear / broken blades to gods creation, reaching out to me / the tears and fears fading fast, his light embracing me / Surrendered now, come thick come fast / The deed is done my time has passed / Back to dreaming of by-gone years / I can remember through broken tears / That I danced along the edge of fear / Just to get your warmth so near / and one says, what am I doing there?? / just passing by, and going to nowhere / but nowhere’s not so far / I’m carried upon the winds of time beyond a distant star / Shadow sways; its hold relinquished / Illuminating day renews the spirit / The battered windmill, atop the hill / Looking as though Iife has stood still / battered and twisted it stands still strong / not even weather could kill Have a look at this as a JE HERE with credits to the collaborators :) VBS Or look HERE to view this as a Card with the poem on it :)

Windfarm at Keithley Moor Yorkshire seconds before the light vanished.

Driving through the Australian outback a spectacular sunset sky was beckoning for the right image. Flat barren landscapes did nothing to accentuate the light. In the distance I spotted a windmill and quickly got close enough to use it as an anchor point for the image. Taken nearly 10 years back, it is still a favourite. Thank you to whoever purchased a poster of this image. Enjoy.

An Inconvenient Truth inspired me to create this piece. / TIPS TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS: / 1) Don’t drive to work/school, walk/drive to your nearest bus or train station instead. / 2) Turn off your mains of your PC, laptop, TV, DVD player etc before you go to bed – you have no idea how much power this consumes. / 3) Don’t turn on unnecessary lighting. Buy energy saver lighting. / 4) Think twice about fuel economy/CO2 emissions over performance vehicles. / 5) Recyclables go into the recyclable bin. / 6) Buy energy saver appliances if you can afford it. / - – - / MORE WORKS FROM MY PORTFOLIO /

A stunning Scottish sunset behind a wind farm near Thurso on Scotlands North coast. The low lying fog really sets the turbines off. One of my favourites.

Sunset in the Outback, near Gascoyne Junction WA

This commercially working smock mill is now completely restored. The mill has been grinding by wind power for 7 years after a 70 year gap. Sarre Mill was built in 1820 and is one of England’s few remaining commercially worked mills. It is a typical Kentish Smock Windmill, built by the Canterbury Millwright, John Holman. In its time its height has been increased, a steam engine was installed to provide auxiliary power in 1861, and then replaced in 1907 by a gas engine with its own gas producer plant. In the early 1920s the mill stopped working by wind power and the sails were disconnected and sold. Trading ceased for a time between the wars until 1940, when after 120 years, the millstones ground to a halt and the mill went into decline. However, in 1985 the Hobbs family bought the mill and rebuilding work started in 1986. Restoration was finished in 1991 with the new sails turning for the first time on June 12th. The mill is now once again an environmentally friendly, wind powered mill. The mill is equipped with one set of Derbyshire Peak stones and one set of French Burrs, with most of the original machinery surviving and in use today. Sarre Mill produces high quality stoneground flour in the traditional way, rather than the “hot milled” flour to be found in the vast majority of breads and cakes. This ensures nutrients and vitamins are preserved and the flavour is just unbelievable. / Thank you for looking. /

Last light at Kalangadoo in the South East of South Australia. Another powerful sky being lit up by the setting sun. Ruins of old farm buildings in the foreground. Canon 400D, ND and Polarising filters.

One of the 18th-century windmills at Kinderdijk against the setting sun. The poles at the back are used to turn the top of mill so that the propellers can catch the wind best. In Dutch you call such a mill a “buitenkruier”, in contrast to a “binnenkruier” (here you can turn the top from from the inside).

The Oklahoma sunset bathes an old windmil; long gone quiet.

Herringfleet Mill can be found where you might least expect to find it – about twenty yards on the Suffolk side of the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Given Norfolk’s monopoly on spectacular, well-preserved mills, it seems only fair that neighbouring Suffolk should have a few of its own…although it should be noted that even this mill is officially in the Norfolk Broads. This photograph was taken on an extremely February day. A 13 seconds’ exposure captured the movement of the clouds as they raced across the East Anglian sky. Canon EOS 5D and EF 16-35mm lens. Exposure of 13 seconds at f/22.

Take one of East Anglia’s most photogenic windmills; add a generous dose of superlative-defying colour and light; and last but not least, stir in the fine company of 4 first-class landscape photographers friends. The result? Herringfleet Heaven! Canon EOS 5D and EF 16-35mm lens. Exposure of 1/5 second at f/16.

Sounds of Then / (This is Australia) I think I hear the sounds of then, / And people talking, / The scenes recalled, by minute movement, / And songs they fall, from the backing tape. / That certain texture,that certain smell, To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets, / In brick veneer on financed beds. / In a room, of silent hardiflex / That certain texture, that certain smell, / Brings home the heavy days, / Brings home the the night time swell, Out on the patio we’d sit, / And the humidity we’d breathe, / We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields / Laugh and think, this is Australia. The block is awkward – it faces west, / With long diagonals, sloping too. / And in the distance, through the heat haze, / In convoys of silence the cattle graze. / That certain texture, that certain beat, / Brings forth the night time heat. Out on the patio we’d sit, / And the humidity we’d breathe, / We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields / Laugh and think that this is Australia. To lie in sweat, on familiar sheets, / In brick veneer on financed beds. / In a room of silent hardiflex / That certain texture, that certain smell, / Brings forth the heavy days, / Brings forth the night time sweat / Out on the patio we’d sit, / And the humidity we’d breathe, / We’d watch the lightning crack over canefields / Laugh and think, this is Australia. / This is Australia….......

Sunset on Ninghan Station, Western Australia. The Australian outback is vast and electricity is not available in many areas. The water tank and a windmill are used on remote properties for pumping underground water to the surface. / Captured with Nikon D300. /
