Time flies, whether you’re having fun or not. It has been a whole year since I was on vacation, and there is no sign of the next one yet.

The past year has been filled with all kinds of events, each of them could warrant another vacation, but visibly, that’s not in the stars right now. In some cases, I felt like those decapitated palm trees.

This is the second time (only) that I have written about Winter Wonderland. Some people can’t get enough of the white white world and would like that to continue for as long as possible.

May I suggest moving to the Arctic and leaving some warmer weather for the rest of us?

Nope, not the candies. I don’t eat that kind of stuff if I can avoid it. This stands for Mersey and Medway, two rivers close to my home.

The Mersey, in the back of my house was used for shipbuilding until 1962. In that year, the fixed bridge was installed in 1962, probably a while after the last ship-building activities had ceased.

Nighttime changes everything. Busy backgrounds disappear, interesting textures appear out of nowhere. As long as you are willing to look, and sometimes look like a creep, staring at stuff nobody else even sees.

Statues come to life, but in a very different light, so to speak.
