Added to ‘Soundtrack Weekend’ www.ipernity.com/group/362993 In this very old Guernsey shot of 'Fort Grey' there are rocks and water. So that is good enough for me to link this to “Rock Me on the Water” written by Jackson Browne and performed here by Kathy Mattea. It probably sounds like everyone and every song are my faves :-))) But, this all-time classic song is one of my faves :-) And, Kathy has always been one of my faves :-) We have been so very fortunate to have seen Kathy live in concert on several occasions over the years :-))) Extracts from Wikipedia - “Kathleen Alice "Kathy" Mattea (born June 21, 1959, in South Charleston, West Virginia) is an American country music and bluegrass performer who often brings folk, Celtic and traditional country sounds to her music. Active since 1983 as a recording artist, she has recorded seventeen albums and has charted more than thirty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. This total includes the number one hits "Goin' Gone", "Eighteen Wheels and a Dozen Roses", "Come From the Heart" and "Burnin' Old Memories", as well as twelve additional Top Ten singles.” “In 1994, Kathy collaborated with Suzy Bogguss, Alison Krauss, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash to contribute "Teach Your Children" to the AIDS benefit album Red Hot + Country produced by the Red Hot Organization. Also on that album, Kathy teamed up with Jackson Browne to contribute "Rock Me on the Water". Also through the '90s, she often collaborated with Scottish folksinger songwriter Dougie MacLean.” “Kathy has been heavily involved in HIV/AIDS-related charities, beginning in the early 1990s, and is often credited with being among the first to champion this cause among the country music community. She is the recipient of the Minnie Pearl Humanitarian Award, and the Harvard AIDS Institute Leadership Award for this work.” Fort Grey is now a Shipwreck Museum. In days gone by it was, reputedly, the haunt of witches but I haven't seen any here................yet :-) Watch/Listen here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpuw_y5zu_k

In memory. The body is not the essence of the human person. ( PLATO) Plato proves this through the process of elimination. There are three possibilities, one is that the human person is essentially a soul or a body or a combination of body and soul. The body does not rule itself, therefore it cannot be the body. And if the body does not rule itself it cannot be in combination of the body and soul ruling, therefore the soul rules over the body, and the soul is the essence of the human person.

Du mußt Dunkelheit spüren, um das Licht zu lieben. Argyris Eftaliotis (1849 - 1923) * * * Leben ohne Schatten ist Leben ohne Sonne, wer nie im Dunkeln saß, beachtet kaum das Licht. Leben ohne Tränen ist Leben ohne Lachen, wer nie verzweifelt war, bemerkt das Glück oft nicht. Leben ohne Täler ist Leben ohne Berge, wer nie ganz unten war, schaut gleichgültig ins Tal. Leben ohne Zweifel ist Leben ohne Glauben, wer niemals sucht und fragt, dessen Antworten sind schal. Leben ohne Kälte ist Leben ohne Wärme, wer nie gezittert hat, schätzt keinen Unterstand. Leben ohne Alleinsein ist Leben ohne Liebe, wer keine Leere kennt, greift kalt nach jeder Hand. Leben ohne Kämpfe ist Leben ohne Frieden, wer nie im Sturm war, freut sich nicht an glatter See. Leben ohne Trauer ist Leben ohne Hoffnung, wer keinen Abschied kennt, kennt auch kein Wiedersehn. Jürgen Werth

Last Saturday Helen & I went to the West Wycombe Fete held in the grounds of West Wycombe Park. There was a tractor and trailer taking ‘peoples’ for a circular tour that passed the ‘polo field’. I had no idea polo was played here and I knew I had to investigate!! I have never photographed polo matches before but there is always a first time :-) This was one of the hottest days of the year. It was 'blisteringly hot' and I managed a dozen or so shots before I had to retreat to a shady spot. This is one of the shots :-)

Night falls and slight mist rises from the yet warm fields.
