It's a sign

Have you lost your direction in life? Do you have no idea where to go? Does the path ahead seem unclear?

Then what you need is the Pointy Finger Glove. 

This handy indicator saved my life recently when out on a ramble one lunchtime. Following its wet but wooly digit I was able to find the road and eventually made it back to the office. Without this welcome assistance I might still be tramping the blue remembered hills of North Hampshire*




Don't you just love those supermarket assistants with the pointy finger sign that indicates a free checkout. However, I would not suggest we extend the scheme and fill the high street with competing pointy fingers employed by the local stores. Then we would all be lost.


*Parts of this narrative have been expanded for dramatic effect. No gloves were harmed in taking this picture. Your house may be at risk if you do not keep up the payments. Serving suggestion only.

Dismal dark depressing dull damp disappointing December. Hmm. Lets remind ourselves of summer when there were shadows in pictures. Lets concentrate on where the light isn't: Sometimes its the shadows that define a picture. Here are some of hard light examples from the Mediterranean, and each one will have needed some exposure compensation. The first images hints at a sunny day. This one gives you the evidence: A clear blue sky glimpsed between shadows. This third image, also from the much rebuilt and restored fort at Paphos , allows us to see more of the building. A pleasing succession of arches and the reward is the sunshine at the end And finally one last shadow picture: One for Arthur C Clark: The Monolith in Newbury Kennet Centre car park. Its been there for 4.2 Billion years. No one knows what it does.
