Whenever stuff like this happens I'm reminded of this from The Hogfather. God I miss Sir Pterry
A quote from The Hogfather by terry Pratchett “All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable." REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. "Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—" YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES. "So we can believe the big ones?" YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING. "They're not the same at all!" YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED. "Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point—" MY POINT EXACTLY.”

Could be worse, actually very neat.
Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer sit's in his office , everything is covered in papers: the multiple desks, chairs, cardboard boxes overflow with papers, there are wire baskets filled with paper, the desk drawers can't close due to paper, the floor is covered with paper, the chairs sit atop paper, a small black dog in the foreground is thankfully not covered in paper. Wisely Dave keeps a fire extinguisher in this room though god knows how he would reach it if there was a fire as it's tucked away in a corner surrounded by paper. I can't stress enough just how much paper there is in this room.

This!?! THIS!?! motherfucker told YOU, to "log off and lift some weights"
James Rodden, a large , fat, bald man with more chins than lanyards wearing an ill fitting suit; looks quizzically at the camera as he presumably struggles to move his massive frame down a nondescript hallway.

The harbour at Tarbert, Loch Fyne, Kintyre
A view looking across the marina towards the opening into the Loch at Kintyre, Loch Fyne. Many sailboats are moored. Some reflected in the water of the harbour.

Linn Park on a cold cold morning.
Linn Park in the morning, the cold has made it slightly misty and the low sun is shining through some woods casting rays of light in the mist.

At the top of the rest and be thankful.
View from the car park at the top of the rest and be thankful looking back down , the mist is sitting in the valley below my position looking like a white pool.

No clue what this is but found it on my walk along the side of the Dee.
A strange fungus I found growing on the ground.

just something I found interesting on a beach near Carradale Kintyre
A small patch of grass with purple flowers grows on a piece of rock on a shingle beach.

Taken in the cemetery at Port of Menteith Parish church.
A photo taken in the cemetery at Port of Menteith Parish Church. The photo faces west looking through the cemetery towards the Lake of Meteith. Some old Gravestones are in the foreground and the water can be seen past these through a gap in the trees. The day is sunny with little cloud overhead.

Loch Ard on a sunny day.
A photo taken from the land looking onto Loch Ard , there are 3 unused row boats on the left in the shade of a overhanging tree. On the water a sail boat and canoe can be seen in the distance.

Taken at Kennacraig ferry terminal
A picture taken at Kennacraig ferry terminal at sunset, looking south east the water is perfectly still so the sky is reflected in the water.
