Fear
I’m standing on a windswept cliff top, everything below is whipped into a rage by the winds, the sea throwing itself against the rocks.

Stream of consciousness

Week 4 – Photo a day Challenge
Week four is the last week for the photo a day challenge I signed up for. I’ve had a lot of fun trying to find something everyday to photograph in line with the daily theme. I admit some days I didn’t get very close, some days the connection was tenuous to say the least, but…
