Prolific Yet Diverse

If yesterday brought a near hiatus in creativity then today it returned with renewed vigour. The weather was uncertain but eventually conceded a bright, beautiful afternoon and evening. In preparation for tomorrow's start of our East Anglian tour, I wanted to be away from stress and adding to what I leave behind when my soul ascends. Although, as I have previously intimated, I have a perpetual and changing list of (photographic) subjects I left the house in the afternoon with no fixed agenda but heading for a rather spendidly oxidised barn in Bursledon.

Even before I got there, I had taken photographs as diverse as a Harvard at Lee on Solent airfield and a urinal in a McDonalds. The barn/farm site and its environs kept me happy and I am particularly pleased with the bucolic image of horses grazing which is now at the head of this blog. Without dumping I was able to post a number of pictures on Flickr and sit back to await the usual silence. Still, in the silence I can hear my heart beat and then I know I am alive. My own reaction to the beauty around me confirms this. No wonder people want to believe in an afterlife - how could we ever be dead?
On our forthcoming tour we plan to take in as many as possible of Gravesend, Bluewater, Huntingdon, Cambridge, Bedford, Peterborough, Stamford, Ely, March, Kings Lynn and Norwich. Breathless? We will be. Watch for the results on this blog (voted by me 'Most Entertaining Blog Written in Lee on Solent, 2010'), on Facebook and, as ever, on my photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/johnoram
