Enjoyed all the pieces, and the photo is ace, and I can imagine someone for real making those marks, if not physically, at least mentally, as this world gets darker and narrower by the actions of those in power.

Thanks Alan - the photo was taken up at the Westinghouse site in Chippenham a day before the building and this old steel door were demolished. I have been thinking a lot recently about the me-too movement, the influences of patriarchy and how my life has been conditioned. No major complaints on my part, but I wonder about my actions over the years and how they might have been different. More thinking for me - I think!

Ah, yes, there is ever need for all of us to look closely at ourselves year in year out, and try to maintain our humanity. It's certainly a challenge as we've witnessed in recent years.
