My Apartment in Plymouth

Standing outside my apartment, I took this shot of Smeaton's lighthouse opposite the Hoe. This was taken during the sunset.

This is the view of the Hoe from the Hoe Park on top of the hill, near the light house. This cape is called the Hoe for some reason, don't know though. The rented apartment that I am staying in for the moment is the beige building at the end of the curvy waterfront road.

This is the facade facing the sea. It's an old building, and is within Plymouth's heritage conservation zone. This means that no modification can be done on the exterior of the apartment without first requesting permission from the city council O.o"

I am not satisfied (hmm an understatement?), with a friend's photo of the apartment from this location, hence this is my response to his interpretation.

"Come on, just one photo..."

"Now, he just gave me something interesting to photograph..."

"Another one of those back-facing, going-somewhere photos..."

"Let's see how its like shooting from this height..."

Grey: Half white or half black?

The grey winter,
Leaves the Land and its trees,
Strips them bare,
without its greens...


The grey waters,
Pitting stones against rocks,
Pebbles against sands,
Losing its shapes and shades...


The grey boats,
One, massive, powerful, anchored,
The other, meek, swift, free...


The grey heart,
Closes its door,
Beauty allowed to fade,
Carcasses left ashore..
