The sun sets over France. John on Flickr pointed out that this looks like a nuclear bomb going off – very true.

Chexbres Dawn

Chexbres Dawn, originally uploaded by Pete Connolly.

Back from Switzerland. This time, we stayed outside Lausanne, in a small town called Chexbres (che bres). The hotel (The Prealpina) was great – pretty high up the mountain so you could watch the clouds float past at eye level. Two cloudy wet mornings, but this lovely dawn came in between the two. Some slight tweaking in the Gimp after I finally got it working in Windows XP with ufraw.

Modern Poetry

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman’s work,
This woman’s world.
Ooh, it’s hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

A song that would bring a tear to a glass eye, as my mother says. Maxwell does a great version as well, different due to it being falsetto for the most part, but dropping down to his ‘male’ voice towards the end.
