Peter - I know exactly what you mean. At the start of a climb, I'm always amazed to think that by the end of the day I'll be all the way up there. And at the end of a climb, I look down at where I was, and still can't figure out how I made it.. (P.S. upgraded my Wordpress installation, so hopefully those comment saving issues will go away!!) Morrissey Fan - funny you should mention mishead lyrics, I was actually going to write about that in this post. At school, when I was about 5 years old, we had to sing a song that went "Who built the ark? Noah! Noah!". In my young brain, I heard and sang it as "Who built the arch? No-one! No-one!". How confusing for a small boy! My first, and unintentional, taste of Zen, perhaps... Supreme Nothing – glad you enjoyed the post!

Tom, your lyrics are all wrong my friend. As a longtime Smiths and Morrissey fan, I simply could not allow this blasphemous post (mostly kidding) to stand. Here are the correct lyrics: And if a double-decker bus Crashes into us To die by your side Is such a heavenly way to die And if a ten-ton truck Kills the both of us To die by your side Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine I “stumbled upon” your website and the photos and location certainly are beautiful, but my comment is to Tom.

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us

Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure – the privilege is mine

The title is "Dressed to Kill". "He's gettin' dressed/ He's lookin' for his thrills/ He's gettin' dressed to kill." When I was growing up in the 80s there were many songs about nuclear war. I think Pink Floyd's "Two Suns in the Sunset" was one of the most emotive ones in heard. These days we have climate change and global warming to fear. Is anybody writing songs about that? I know what you mean about climbing a mountain that has been in your vision all day. Once down again I look back often and think, "I was up there only a few hours ago." Better stop here and hope my post gets saved this time. “Here we are in the West
Our cars are glistenin’
The bear he roars in the East
But we ain’t listening”

I love every single bit of this post. Here in the USA, we had a TV special called "The Day After" that was feared might cause a minor panic when it aired. I know more than once as a child I wondered if I'd see a mushroom cloud some day. Hopefully it will never come to pass. But yet I always thought that if the world came apart, at least I'd have a really good excuse to not go to work and simply live in the forest... Again, great post with lots to think about. Thanks for sharing! You writing is as compelling as your photographs. I love every single bit of this post.

I tried pasting in some long text last night, and you're right; it vanishes. I tooled around with the back-end database, and changed the comments field to accept up to 4 million letter submissions (!!), and while the database is now fine there's clearly something wrong with the blog software itself. I'll keep digging...!! Hi Peter – in fact, there does seem to be some word limit.. I tried pasting in some long text last night, and you’re right; it vanishes.
