Wings of a Golden Angel

Rising of theFull SuperMoon

7pm Saturday 19-03-11 - The Full Moon rising with a street lamp - to show how big the Supermoon was with its orange tinge and bewitching feeling in the air. - I was out last night, but didnt see a werewolf around.

8pm Saturday 19-03-11 During the hour as the Full Moon arose it had lost its orange tinge and was brighter but had this beautiful halo around it and still there was that bewiching feeling in the air.
I'm told it will be another 19yrs before we see the moon this close again ----

Almost full Moon -

Taken Friday night 18-03-11 // Almost Full Moon.

Virgin Snow - and I'm a Virgin on my 5th anniversary.

Duel

In yon days of old,
When Knights were bold,
Steel against steel,
Until one doth yeild?

Or Die.

Colour in Style

Gailsman one of our Headbangers Header is a neat Retro Hair style, which prompted me to post this Hair style up from Heckington 2008 show.

Header Challenge 16-03-11 = Retro.

So - we are here again with our Header Challenge and this weeks theme by Gailsman is "Retro" - just to be sure I checked the internet and among the explanations were Vintage.So -

My 1st post pic is a poster I found, now - as some of you may know that one of our Headbangers is Lanny from Victory Farm, so thought I would include this poster asking for volunteers for farm workers during war time. Is it your farm Lanny? lol.

My 2nd post pic is a sign over a shop I found for vintage goods, love the title to this too " Time Dresser"

Some time ago I found this Garage with these old pumps on show on the side, Vintage Price I would say before decimal times too.
Hows your prices on fuel these days, ours around £1.30 a litre, guess most are more than this.

Now - my last post pic is a lttle treat for the men ---and Ladies. Some time ago DW and I visited an Art in Action show, with many stalls and exhibitions.
I saw this young lady dressed in the 40s style, I asked her if I could take a shot or two of her, heres one, but while chatting I discovered that this young lady was a proffesional model and she gave me her web site - so to visit (Kitten-Von-Mews click here) and enjoy your time with Kitten Von Mews. - well thats my post pics for Retro - Vintage.

Well its time to talk about my Header, which by now you know all about it.
A photo of A Lotus 7 - just like the one in the series " The Prisoner" featuring Patrick Magoohan - Now my video clip is the tune and film of the last shots from the series, so click and enjoy.

With Belton in Mind

What do you think? also wanting a title
my thoughts are
1) Man in the Mist
2) Pulling the wool over their eyes
