Yes Gail .....

We saw the Film Version
The TV cartoon version
and now we see the Stage Play [at, The Lowry]


Re: the sham of the main streets..... This is true ALL OVER THE CITY

New frontages, garden walls, fences, along all of the main roads
BUT, just you take to a side street and beyond
and you will see DECADES OF NEGLECT ..... homes, that look like slums [from outside]
Roads with suspension-killing potholes and 'sleeping policemen' [road calming measures]
so-steep on approach, they feel like kerbstones
Gardens and property perimeters, that look just like post-war bombsites

Houses earmarked for redevelopment, left-standing, empty and shuttered, for over ten years
~project, put on hold and never after, brought back onto the table
~post-war housing, being emptied, to replace them with multi-occupancy accomodation [new building]
_upon the same footprint []

[moneymaking_ and regardless of, wastage]

[angelwind]

Thank you Angel' Sis'

Do not be deceived in anyway by all this mainstreet architecture and cleanliness

In the streets behind these charades
are post victorian buildings, pre-war and post war buildings and streets
heavily neglected and in deplorable condition

Road maintenance is very low on the council's priority list
~the council are running tenant referendums and surveys
to maybe FOCUS such funds as they want to spare_on the worst/ most necessary
Considering the number of vehicles on the road these days
the revenue from car tax... should be diverted back, to road maintenance



We visit the same area next week _ to go to the theatre "The Snowman"
I will endeavour to provide more- 'insightful' images

Wow Dave....what a confusing statement for the government reigning in England. Maybe the queen would do a better job on her own.

 

[davedajobauk]

Angel' Sis'

The Monarchy [here in England] has had no 'power' to wield in England
and hasn't had state-wide influence, for, many centuries
~since, before Scotland was rendered a part of the United Kingdom
It is a 'retained face' on a banknote/coin

A dictatorship here, MIGHT,
if, he or she was a christian [?] ~make inroads into these affairs
~via NATIONALISATION
of the very infrastructure, of social-economics

The 'ESTABLISHMENT' grow, their own politicians
and may, be compared/equated-with the MAFIA /Mafiosi of Scicily [?]
They, simply DO NOT CARE

It, directs 'Government Policy' and preserves itself
by remaining nameless
and apparently 'invisible' to the man in the street

So 'tight is the control exercised by the 'establishment'
that were it, to be EXPOSED...
the pyramid that exists, would become, like; a headless chicken
~from the shoulders down

All, look upwards, to a superior [for instruction]
Such, that 'inspiration' [at any level] is not a requirement for that status level

Without compromise becoming a possibilty....
The authority of the 'establishment'
leaves no room for more-considerate 'alternative' management of the country's wealth
And... any opposition
would need to have workable solutions, to every aspect of social need
It's own infrastructure ~READY, to put into place

Mass Immigration policies...have insured against 'self-sufficiency' of our Island
There is just no way to feed and clothe so-many people
without those established chains
of imported goods.... that the people of the UK 'consume'

'Knowledge' is power..... ~ignorance, maintains slavery, to the 'system'

America, is also enslaved to such a system

[angelwind]

I know Dave....we live in a world system greatly influenced by Satan (the prince of this world) Eph 2:1-3...at this time...allowed by God, the Lord of all creation, the One Who really is working out all things according to the council of this will...Eph 1:11.

Yet Paul instructs believers here in Ro. 13:1-2 to be subject to the governing authorities ...this takes a lot of thought doesn't it... I am reminded of Jesus words...to render to Ceasar what belongs to him and render to God what belongs to Him. 9Mt 12:17)

This is my view at this time as I read scripture.

How "sweet" we oldies look

The SWING BRIDGE

The TURNTABLE BRIDGE

The SYNCHRONOUS CABLE-LIFT PLATFORM BRIDGE

The platform bridge viewed from outside of The LOWERY Theatre

The Tower Block viewed from the platform bridge

Those are nice pictures! The harp is nice also.

Here is a poem for the Christmas season:

T'was the Month before Christmas



T'was the month before Christmas

When all through our land,

Not a Christian was praying

Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away

The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools
not to sing

About Shepherds and Wise Men
and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings,
the teachers would say

December 25th is just a 'Holiday.'
Yet the shoppers were ready
with cash, checks and credit

Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod

Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa

In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging
their trees upside down

At Lowe's the word Christmas -
was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples
and Penny's and Sears

You won't hear the word Christmas;
it won't touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden,
Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen

On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate,
there arose such a clatter

To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.

And we spoke not a word,
as they took away our faith

Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace

The true Gift of Christmas was
exchanged and discarded

The reason for the season,
stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate 'Winter Break'
under your 'Dream Tree'

Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully,
choose what you say


Shout "MERRY CHRISTMAS,"
not Happy Holiday!


Please, all Christians join together
and wish everyone you meet

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!


Christ is The Reason
for the Christ-mas Season!

Christmas is celebrated on January 7 in my Orthodox Church as we observe the Old Calendar (13 days difference).

I got an email from the editor of a photo magazine I subscribe to online...he wants to publish one of my photos in the next issue...Wo! I go back and forth with my confidence level here. There are thousands of photos online, some very spectacular art forms...this is quite a surprise and sort of weird feeling for me.

Here is the shot of a door in an alley in Santa Barbara, taken earlier this year, it is edited and textures are applied.

Here is the original,

I like both, but the grungy look is very popular, we want cameras that take pristine photos, then we mess them up...good grief....I will be busy for a while getting the photo resized for printing. Say a prayer or 2 for me if you feel like it.

The grungy one is the one they want to print. (my favorite)

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

That is awesome Congrats!!!
You will do well....and have my prayers

 

[davedajobauk]

Oh how wonderful for you Angel' Sis'


Apparently... it is best...
to work on photos at FULL SIZE and preserve a FULL SIZE COPY

My Full Size is 2048 x 1536 pixels...
Tagged Image Format carries the most image info' and is 'preferred' by printers
and of-course, it is, a very large sized file

You are very talented with 'a good eye' for scenery
May you enjoy your blessings and due recognition
raise: Him
For He has done great things, yes! even, for the least of us
Amen!

your Bro'

[angelwind]

Guess what guys, I did not keep records of my texture sources for this one...so I may not get it published after all...we need written permission from the others, as their work is included in this shot. I keep better records now if I use textures.

But to be recognized is a nice surprise.

and out th' back

20

I am not sure, what this is called [perhaps, a Chaff]

It was moving around quite a bit, harried by a Magpie
so there was no time, to 'focus' precisely upon it

I might be able to touch these up a little in Paint.NET
we'll see!!
