“Now I know what a ghost is. Unfinished business, that’s what.”
― Salman Rushdie, The Satanic Verses
So, unfinished business.
It’s time.

What if.
The hand that rocked your cradle.
That held your hand.
Was wrong.

WordPress Photo Challenge – Converge – (re)converge(d)
wrinkle eclectic
Consequences.
Photo 101 on WordPress had consequences.
One, there are others, was being invited to join Justine’s Eclectic Corner, a select group of bloggers, writers, poets, photographers and errr…me (yes, go figure)
So each week, a challenge will be laid down.
This week’s challenge is “guessing game”, the idea is that other members of the group must guess the subject matter of a photo in the style of a “wrinkle”.
So, here, the submission from belgianstreets and a huge round of applause to Justine for setting this up.
To play the game, leave your thoughts on the subject matter in the comments section below. All revealed here on belgianstreets on Saturday, 13 December.
You know you want to.
Consequences.
“…but I’m lost, crushed, cold and confused
with no guiding light left inside…”
– Muse, Guiding Light
Cold December morning.
Traffic grinding toward oblivion.
Yet.
There is.
Light.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue.”

“Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.”

This collage seemed a good idea when I decided to do it – note theme was to “get out and explore…”
It was light at some point today, now it is dark and the day has slipped by, no exploring has been done.
Although some, and you know who you are, have kept me up to date with life in the world outside including tales of savage deer, flowers served for dinner and unsatisfying pizza for lunch.
Lessons from #photo101?
1. It’s good to talk, even better to listen
2. It’s ok to cry a bit
3. I have discovered a new found fondness for alien fiction – sorry Justine
4. I know more about what people in the Netherlands do
5. I would like to follow a path through a Czech field, even though Mara tells me it only leads to another field
6. I want an atomic powered plane
7. I have become addicted to #photo101 and to talking about it with some of you at all hours
8. I think I learned some things about photography, like don’t set out to make a collage of 100 photos in photoshop lightly
9. I have always liked railways, now even more
10. …and a few other things
And most of all, the very best, has been meeting so many of you and making some new friendships that I hope will endure.
So…thank you to the WordPress crew, and to all of you!
This is not the end, just a new chapter.

“They will not control us,
We will be victorious”
triumph inside
Razorwire.
They lock me in.
They are the men with bulldozers and hammers.
They are my memories.
Of words said. Words unsaid. Words never acted on. Doors left unopened.
I can recognise, accept.
I can survive.
If I choose.
(Hooghuis, Doel)

Sometimes the answer is right in front of us.
All day*, trying to think of another double photo.
And (t)here, on the wall, at work.
Ping(back)! I found it.
Good night fellow #photo101 classmates!
* Whilst working very hard, obviously.
In this case, X does not mark the spot.
A little asymmetric double.
In the tunnel.
No wing mirrors.
