my town... my city ...




Last month I went on a little outing around Newcastle with some other members of the lo-fi photography group. Here are some pics I took with my holga...





What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness ~ Joseph Brodsky


 

There is no solitude in the world like that of the big city ~ Kathleen Norris




The life of our city is rich in poetic and marvelous subjects. 
We are enveloped and steeped as though in an atmosphere of the marvelous; but we do not notice it ~ Charles Baudelaire



Sing me the legends of the river.
Tell me a story of the sky.
~ unknown

If I called her she would pretend not to hear, but would come a few moments later when it could appear that she had thought of doing so first.  ~Arthur Weigall

If there were to be a universal sound depicting peace, I would surely vote for the purr. ~Barbara L. Diamond
 

If there is one spot of sun spilling onto the floor, a cat will find it and soak it up. ~J.A. McIntosh



You will always be lucky if you know how to make friends with strange cats. ~Proverb
 

Some rules for life...

 
 
 
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

Mother Teresa

Apologies if I've already posted this previously , but it's the sort of thing that's good to reread from time to time ...
