TIME IS WAITING IN THE WINGS

I have always been rather keen on living the moment rather than taking a photograph of it.

I tend to take photographs in places I’m very familiar with.

These two pics show the affect of time and tide on some lumps of concrete that have been used as sea defences at Pett Level.

Of course what I’m hoping for is that one day a chest full of treasure will be revealed or, in one of my more macabre moods, a skull ………….

    I work in the opposite way- I take pictures to remember. My brain doesn’t retain much and so without photographs I have almost no memories. (And don’t even ask me to remember movies… I’m hopeless! :D )

    My brain is the same actually – the result is either wonderment or confusion, I’m never quite sure which – perhaps I should follow your lead though I suspect that wanders into the area of multi-tasking so there isn’t much hope ………

    I’ve been trying to work out what the metal things are. There used to be a railway nearby that serviced a gravel pit – they look as though they might have been wheels from rolling stock ….. now living the life of fossils …..

    Rather than a skull, perhaps some unexploded ordinaries may surface.

    I can send you one of my shoes I wore without a sock for a week. I’m sure you’d treasure it.

    Only if encased in concrete – although the postage would be horrendous. What size feet do you have?

    Too many Goddesses to say anything relating to foot size, I know better.

    I could…send the socks to penfold instead, in a booby trapped ziplock baggy that disintegrates when he opens the box they’re in!
