BEACON FOR A STARSHIP!

No longer use for ships in the channel.....(unless they haping to be flying!)

Opened in 1904 by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, The Old Lighthouse served for 56 years as a crucial navigational aid for vessels in the English Channel. Constructed with over three million engineering bricks, this towering structure survived both World Wars before being decommissioned in 1960.

CHRISTMAS PRINTS STILL AVAILABLE!!

The performance that moved the conductor to tears!

READ my review for OperaWire!

‘Aleko’ and ‘Pagliaci’ at the Teatro Massimi Opera House Palermo, Sicily

And, judging by their opening night presentation combination of two short operas, Sergei Rachmaninoff’s "Aleko" and Ruggero Leoncavallo’s "Pagliacci," they just might be onto something.

It looks harmless enough beacuse of the wide-angle lens but I'm actually on my belly much closer to the edge of 300 foot cliff drop onto rocks below; trying to work out how much closer I can sneak before my camera set-up (or me!) took a dive......The image doesn't convey any of the height but the Milky Way looked nice anyway....lights of FRANCE to the distance.

My interview for the awesome with the remarkable Ilanah Lobel-Torres on What Inspires Her Most as an Opera Singer and how her ART helped give her strength to beat cancer.

Originally from New York, Ilanah Lobel-Torres obtained her bachelor's degree from the New England Conservatory and her master's degree in vocal performance from the Mannes School of Music.

Apparently the Aurora Borealis KP index is HIGH at the moment and for the next few days......alas! The skies are filled with CLOUDS, so we're unlikely to see anything! so in the words of a long gone TV cook...."Here's one I prepared earlier......."

'Bench at the end of the World'

I love this old bench at the end of the boardwalk at Dungeness. I often sit here on on my night quests.......I often wonder how many have sat here and paused, just for thought. A funny little bench on the very point of the coast where your smart watches and phones will click over to FRENCH time, propelling you an hour ahead in time, before returning you back to the present when you leave.

Why do I keep photographing old, decaying boats?, I am frequently asked.

Because they represent what used to be the lifeblood of this coastline. An ancient tradition, so seldom practised. Because these old boats hold the memories, dreams and aspirations of those who sailed in them, every day.

This is 'The Fisherlads', a former herring boat on the vast expanses of shingle at Dungeness, onced owned by the Oliler family, one of the oldest and most well-known fishing families in the area who settled here at the beginning of the 20th century.

On my last visit in the summer, someone had clearly ripped apart its port side, and like the other wrecks at Dungeness, it is only a question of time before it is mere driftwood on the beach.

'Fisherlads' shall no longer sail the seas, but it will sail the stars forever.....
