I took a few photos underneath pylons last year – looking up….glorious structures and shapes. One of me pals told me that I could have easily been zapped. Hadn’t even occurred to me. Stay safe-ish, people.

Great pics and ‘mood’, Alen.

We’ve given our lives to the enlightenment of mankind, had the energy sucked out of us, and been filed away in a dusty archive of yellowing bromides while the rest of the world is blossoming in digitally-enhanced mega-colour. Not that I’m bitter.
Good to hear from you old pal. Even some of the colour slides I took in the 1990s have a sort of yesteryear look about them.
Cheers, Alen

Do you find that even in colour the 70s look grey? And I recently went looking for some 80s pix and they’re fading away…

A couple of good jokes there. Keep them coming. And good luck with the admirals. Now I don’t know whether this is an urban myth or not, but I heard recently that, with the defence review cutbacks, there are more admirals in the Navy than ships, so they could do with thinning out a bit.
Cheers, Alen

Rather short blog! Loved the Nestl??/ bus joke! did you know that the HRS2 proposal is to get people from London to Birmingham before they change their mind.!! I once spent a fortnight in Birmingham…all in an afternoon. And lastly a definition for all us Scots: the definition of a Gentleman ” A man who can play the bagpipes,but doesn’t” More later…just spotted 2 Admirals and my ASBO only lets me shoot before 4pm. Pip pip.

Yes, it’s an interesting subject. You only have to look at the Middle East and Egypt, where complete ancient cities have been swallowed by the ever-changing environment, to appreciate the capability of the Earth to rejuvenate itself. Even in this country there are Roman towns and mediaeval villages that have been wiped off the surface. I think the moral is don’t stand still for too long.
Cheers, Alen

Makes you think about the places you actually leave your boots (back of your mate’s car, roadside lay-by) and the places you would like to leave them but never actually do. I should point out I’m only speaking for myself here.
Cheers, Alen

What a snapshot of ‘history’! It makes me wish I had taken more random photos of landscapes that are now changed forever. That’s a very compelling thought about what people will think, 40 years from now, about visitor centres and ‘accessibility’. I think that ladder is a lesson to us all! I have often thought that it’s not for us to save the Earth, because it’s capable of looking after itself in the very long run – it’s our own survival as a species that’s most at risk.

The Caldbeck fells have been extensively mined since Elizabethan times and possibly as far back as the Romans. Who knows what lies beneath your boots? But I wouldn’t worry about it.
Cheers, Alen
