[Content Warning] Death of a County in England

Once 'pon a time
Was young and brave
Heartily standing fast
'gainst the tides
of dishonour and disrepute.
Now,
Beaten and battered
by battle and battle and more
Weary of life in the bones
Desperately afeared
For those I bear,
Have passed through
Shades of grey
To the murkiness
That stains the soul

Night Sky

Colourful and lovely though they be,
A patchwork quilt, stationary be;
But the quilt of cloud and moon and night time sky
Is light and shade and hue, that fly.

A conversation (speculation)

After reading this (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-24/melbourne-bom-radar-offline-what-you-need-to-know/8838222) the following conversation popped into my mind:

"Ah, they're shutting down the radar for six weeks!"

"Well, that's a bother. What for?"

"A good cause - they're installing dual polarisation."

"Oh, OK."

"You know as little about that as me, don't you?"

"Possibly less, if you're still reading that article."

[Content Warning] Karma

I made a commitment,
nigh on a dozen years ago, 
to one who hasn't grown;
and that fell misdeed of mine
has killed my heart and soul.

Phillip Island and San Remo (photographs)

 I didn't have my usual camera with me, and have tried - with varying success to use post-photo cropping where I would normally use pre-photo zoom ... In any case, enjoy :)
