The wait

While I await the plans from the castle survey there is little to do these days other than finishing off and packing up earlier trials and outstanding jobs that have surved their time; for me it is that period of waiting between commitments that mainly orientate around the Castle Project and preparations towards the November period of Remembrance,
An early spring gives opportunity to reacquaint myself with the outside world and to get back to the roots of my existence, nature itself which left unattended overcomes the intrusion of man leaving rusted metals and other rubbish dumped, as awful as this is even nature overcomes the ugliness, metals change to autumnal colours through oxidation and rust, other materials slowly get taken over with moss and tiny ecosystems that eventually meets with the nature of the land as they slowly move toward each other.

this old burner sits in the allotment, still usable and aesthetically fitting to its surroundings, you have to love the process of natural degradation and evolution.

There was a wonderful documentary film though I can neither find it nor remember the name; it started with the sudden and unexplained disappearance of the entirety of all of mankind and how the the natural world would evolve in omnipotence, with excellent special effects I watched the mighty dams of the world shut down, break down and eventually give way, the eifel tower and every other great building ultimately disintergrate and become lost, in fact, all that would be left for the duration of the earth would be a return to nature pre-man with no visible evidence that man had ever been here, thats powerful.
