She stood reverently, bowing her head, hoping to find herself, there was no-one around, and that was what she wanted.
She began to walk, trying to stay focused, but what was the point?
But then she knew, she must do this, that beautiful nunnery.

She got up in the night that time, it was gorgeous and warm, and so clear.
The moon was full and huge, the stars twinkled beautifully.
There was planets – she knew them, and beyond there were galaxies.
She stared, and stared again, then she was moving, up and up.
She will meet and greet, but who were they?
She closed her eyes, and that was it.
And was it just a dream?

The photographer described this image as; Triangulum Galaxy. Not your normal-looking galaxy. This galaxy is known as a flocculent spiral galaxy because its arms are made of patchy segments, not long, continuous spirals like you see in most other galaxies. It also lacks a strong central core of dense, bright stars. The patchy blue and red/pink areas are large star formation regions.This galaxy is 2.7 million light years away.
It said, ‘take what you need.’ It was stuck on a telegraph pole by the pavement. She stopped and looked. Interesting, she thought. But she moved on, although she continued that thought.
She mused as she walked along that road. What were the seven words again? She could remember them, and all were good, she felt.
She pondered as the rain started again. Well, it was the UK after all. Then the next telegraph pole appeared, which also had the same words. However, this one had been disfigured.
So ‘love’ and ‘money’ had disappeared, as did ‘passion’ and ‘happiness’ – very sad that. Then ‘luck’ had become ‘uck’ – very unpleasant. But, at least it hadn’t been replaced with ‘fuck’ (gosh, naughty).
Right in the middle, the word, ‘courage’ had lost part of it. Now it’s called ‘rage’… another gosh for that. All that was left was ‘hope’ and that seemed appropriate.

We met in the desert that time, just me and him, he walked, but I rode a camel.
We started our journeys, him from the west, me from the east.
We’d left at dawn, just as the sun peeped up, as we plodded across the dunes.
We arrived as the blistering sun beat down. We did our trading, and then we left.
Was there a moral? No need for that… Just good business.

This image shows desert dunes with footprints left by humans and animals in the sand. The photographer explains; Under the warm sun, the dunes carry gentle scars of passage, lines and footprints that vanish as quietly as they appear!
A railway, a railway! The two boys smiled happily.
How fun it is to ride on a train, and they could take their bikes with them.
Only a short trip, but that was fine, always lucky to be on holiday, as they grinned again.

This image shows a scene from a railway station. The platform on the photographer’s side is empty, and you can see a train on the opposite side, leaving, engulfed in smoke/fog.

This photo shows a snowbound scene from a street in Quebec, Canada. There are Christmas trees outside almost every home and they are sprinkled with snow. People, warmly dressed are going about their business.
Another beautiful day, said one. Where shall we go today, said the other.
They potted around the lovely beach.
So warm isn’t it, said one. Well, it’s summer on the Cape, isn’t it, grinned the other.
They potted a bit further, as they looked out.
I know, let’s go right to the end. You mean the Table Mountain? No, even further… the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula. Let’s enjoy the Cape of Good Hope just now.
And off they went!

The image shows two birds standing in the water of the ocean, at a beach. The sky overhead is cloudy and lit golden by the rays of the sun, which are reflected in the water too. There are waves coming in towards the beach.
