Photo’s 2012
The Title for my Challenge this week – 27th Jan 2012
Repaeir the Pier
- Burnt out remains.
- Burnt Out Remain
Hastings pier, 5th October 2010
A major fire destroyed most of Hastings Pier in East Sussex, UK, a day after redevelopment plans were invited.
Two people were arrested and detained for questioning, in respect of arson. but were later bailed.
The pier opened in 1872 and was originally 910ft (280m) long. It closed in 2006 because of fears it had become unsafe.
- A Shell of Remains
- Part Remaining – Hastings Pier
Lets Hope
The question we might ask, is,’will it now be rebuilt’. My family was having a late summer break in Hastings’ and were visiting this part of the town. The photo’s I took made a sad memory return. There has been a lot of talk about it being rebuilt, but as yet nothing positive. The local council has some plans, but not been made public. This is why it is a good title, rebuild, well we can only ‘HOPE’
Simple Jan 20th 2012
The Title for my Challenge this week is–
THE MOON’S A BALLOON
- The Moon’s
- A Balloon
I hope one can see my idea and simplicity of the theme these photo’s.
I myself actually quite like these photographs. But what makes them distinct is the fact they were taken several years apart in different parts of the country. Here they are together on the same page, same web space, in fact it is ‘Gerry’s Space’. How surreal is that, two completely different types of photo’s now at home together on this one page.
I will be probably putting another post with this theme in mind.
Enjoy my theme – ’The Moon’s a Balloon’
Peaceful, Jan 13th.
My idea of peace is—
New Forest Ponies
Forest Stream
One beautiful sunny day, my wife and I went for a walk through the nearby New Forest. We eventually came upon this peaceful scene, and luckily I had my camera. The results are as you can see. Others were taken but I think these pictures represent the theme well. But they also have a memory within as well, which makes it doubly good.
So to all that view, please enjoy and comment.

formerly known as
I am a person with plenty of time on my hands. In the last couple of years I have started these blogs/posts mainly to speak my mind and generally release some pent-up frustration.
In my early years I played the guitar ( and still do) for several bands, covering various styles, rock and roll, country and middle of the road.I played as a soloist, writing my own songs, lyrics and poems, and started in folk clubs. So I thought this might be a good way to express myself and hope that I can pass on to other people. While I have been doing this I have also discovered other people whose writing I also like so am learning as I travel this road to discovery.
Update… Have now posted a few and received some good responses, and discovered other good pages. my music had become a little more prominent due to frequenting folk clubs and jamming sessions.
Thank you and Please enjoy..

Wow, I missed these earlier. Don’t know how. I try to visit very frequently. These balloon photos and the photos from the New Forest are wonderful! You can feel the peace in those forest pictures, and I do love the ponies.
Thank you Sandra, so glad you like these, and also agree with you about the ponies. I used spend my childhood days chasing them out of gardens..;)
