Motion blur from a passing tram at Haymarket this evening, as I left the lens open for a long exposure www.flickr.com/photos/woola...

Quite liked the resulting effect!

I was trying a couple of improvised long exposures on my way home from the railway station this evening. I'd been off for the day to see my dad, so wasn't carrying the tripod, but sat the camera on a ...

All four nations Scotland, Wales, England and a reunified island of Ireland - deserve to choose their own destiny.

No more clinging to an ancient union or the ghost of a dead empire.

Westminster has had its day. Time to disolve it and start anew.

END THE UNION
DISOLVE WESTMINSTER

Awaiting the iron horse to take me through to visit dad. After last night's miserable wind and rain, a welcome sighting of blue skies today, but that unseasonably mild temperature run has given way to a much chillier day.

"Already, England has privatised much of the NHS. Indeed, my colleagues down south consider that NHS England is too far gone to bring it back under public ownership. Certainly, with the direction of UK politics, such an opinion seems warranted."
Will Scottish independence improve Scotland’s healthcare?
Egalitarian ideals shape Scotland’s distinct health policies, but independence raises a key question: party agenda or public belief?

Absolute nonsense. Anyone who lived through the period, or who has studied the period, will know how daft, how dangerously silly, this kind of rot is. If I may, I was there. It was FAR more grey, tough, poor, bigoted, boring, terrifying, violent & frequently flat-out insane than nostalgia insists.

In a Gothic mood this evening, so editing some new night photography work while revisiting 80s classic Goth rock, Dawnrazor.
