A bride's pride

The lonely pier

2008-07-19T00:20:25Z

I had originally intended to post this and the previous shot together as a set... until a somewhat unexpected turn of events intervened. In stark contrast to the garish frivolity of its grander counterpart no more than a mile away and several hours ago, I felt myself overcome by a wave of stoic melancholy as I gazed upon the long-abandoned pier. But how little was I to know that I would soon see life once again in black and white… The Old Pier, Weston-super-Mare, UK. 29th June 2008. Canon 40D W/18-55 IS.

End

Though the dying sun shines his last I still see my glory days past Ere the break of ill wind on mast Hope dashed by anchor miscaste I once reached out across the tide To walk on the skyline astride My joy my fear never to hide Faith misplaced in the great divide But I was to be less than grand No stone nor wood would ever mend A lonely pier alone I stand Love found then lost unto the end The Old Pier, Weston-super-Mare, UK. 29th June 2008. Canon 40D W/18-55 IS.

Handsome ginger cat with his coat of autumn gold ; who ate the pizza? She might not think this is him at his very best but it is my best for the moment. I guess I can only get better… maybe? Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK. 15th June 2008. Ixus 700.

Alive

I was really quite amazed that I was able to catch Tahir in full swing even though I was already half asleep at that point in the night. Dublin, Ireland. 5th April 2008. Ixus 700.

Door

So a door opens when I least expect it. While I might sometimes wish life was more laid out in black and white, am I ever so grateful that mine has now been given a touch of gray. St David's Old Parish Church, Llanwrtyd, Wales, UK. 3rd May 2008. Canon 40D W/18-55 IS.
