Lives of great men will remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And,departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Longfellow

I saw a jolly hunter
With a jolly gun
Walking in the country
In the jolly sun.
In the jolly meadow
Sat a jolly hare.
Saw the jolly hunter.
Took jolly care.
Hunter jolly eager-
Sight of jolly prey.
Forgot gun pointing
Wrong jolly way.
Jolly hunter jolly head
Over heels gone.
Jolly old safety catch
Not jolly on.
Bang went the jolly gun.
Hunter jolly dead.
Jolly hare got clean away.
Jolly good, I said.

Good slideshow. I like the one of the Marple Viaduct.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed that set of photos - particularly the ones of 'not pretty things' that most people wouldn't have taken, but which give a good all-round feel for the route.
ReplyDeleteEven though it could have been taken anywhere, the one of the geese jumped out at me. They're standing so neatly!
Alan R - Thanks. My favourite was the strange failing light on the one of The Hilton hotel.
ReplyDelete---------------
Gayle - The most un-pretty one taken by John of my bloody face was not published by him, but I admired his presence of mind to take it.
There was one other duck in the line which spoilt the composition and he was cropped out - I liked that one myself for the composition and the lighting. A few seconds later that light had gone and a photo then would have been meritless.
Number 33 is very close to our house.
ReplyDeleteThe rubbish is shameful. I really didn't think it was that bad. All familiar ground to me, as you'll be aware, frequently visited both on foot and on wheels.
A nice set of images. Thanks
Phreerunner - Rubbish, although fairly frequent was only in quantity in isolated spots.
ReplyDeleteNo. 33 was one of the better surfaces. Elsewhere there was lots of squelchy mud.
the file you are looking for has been moved or deleted
ReplyDelete- maybe collected accidentally by the binmen
quo ?
JJ and gimmer - link now restored. I wasn't aware of anything I did to cause the glitch.
