Both sides of the clouds....

Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, Ireland

“A pessimist only sees the dark side of the clouds, and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all--he's walking on them.”

Leonard L. Levinson

Old or New......

Old or new, every building is either telling us its own story............................or  keeping its own story quietly nestled within its own walls........................all we need to do is appreciate what it is saying to us..................

..................A new building that tells us the story of the Building of a mighty ship, it's tragic end, and echos of the lives of the people it carried.....

Titanic Belfast Queens Island, Belfast, N.Ireland.

................An Old building that has prevented many tragedy's, and can only whisper hints of the people that it has saved, and lets us see shadows of the almost certain torments that it has quietly denied the sea...............

Windows...

Sometimes I wonder, if it's the window we look through, or the view that we see, that is the most important?

Unassumed beauty

Beauty in unusual things, it could be anything, but something just says

This is wonderful...............

A water pump..........

An old disused outdoor grill........

 Or the patterns that lie beneath the bark of a tree...........


“For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.”

 Ivan Panin

Wonderful morning!

I couldn't help it. Sometimes its hard to resist going outside, at a very unsociable hour, to admire the sunrise!

Wet feet, wet pyjamas, but what an awe inspiring view.

 “With each sunrise, we start anew”
