“Illumi-neigh-ted” on Massachusetts Avenue – Lexington, Massachusetts
Tova Speter and Emily Bhargava’s 2024 artwork calls to mind the legendary “Midnight Ride” of Paul Revere, William Dawes, and others, as they rode through the Middlesex countryside on April 18, 1775. “Inspired by the light of Paul Revere’s lantern, the horse embodies the powerful glow of hope along each of our journeys.”

Mind Games
One night in Sydney.
The arrival of the drones.
Photographed from beside the south-eastern pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Along the Cahill Walkway. Next to the Cahill Expressway.
The camera was resting on the guard rail of the bridge, lol.
So here's John Lennon with his song 'Mind Games'. But I don't think he could have anticipated drones.

The Deep
The Town Well building at Castle Street, Winchelsea, East Sussex. Both well - which is 130ft deep - and adjacent building were presented to the town, in 1851, by one Thomas Dawes. The well was in use until 1896, when piped water reached Winchelsea.
The Matrix
The Sydney Opera House in its 'Matrix' mode, lol.
Photographed from the Overseas Passenger Terminal adjacent to the gantry cranes on the port level.
Here's 'Blue Monday' by New Order to set the mood for this light-show across Sydney Cove:

bike ride 02 sep 24
Taking my Dawes '1-Down' out for a spin on Sunday morning, before the rain forecast for later in the day. It has taken me a while to build up enough confidence to go out on the bike, after all of the knee issues and surgery that I have had over the last 2 years.
F C Dawes & Son
A village garage in Shillington near Hitchin. A garage has been at this location since 1925 according to one online source. Dawes now run a fleet of heating oil tankers from the rear yard.

The Rise Of The Drones
The drones at Campbellls Cove, 'The Rocks' - in Sydney.
Photographed from my 'safe haven' on the first level of the Overseas Passenger Terminal (northern end).
To match the eerie characteristics of these drones that are launched up above Sydney on random nights, here's the Tubeway Army, featuring Gary Numan, with the eerie song 'Are Friends Electric?' (1979).
