            City Of Blinding Lights
U2

Neon-heart, day-glow eyes
A city lit by fireflies
They're advertising in the skies
For people like us

And I miss you when you're not around
I'm getting ready to leave the ground
Oh, you look so beautiful tonight
In the city of blinding lights

Don't look before you laugh
Look ugly in a photograph
Flash bulbs, purple irises
The camera can't see


Its been around six or so weeks since I've posted an image anywhere on Social Media. Between some failed shoots in late 2022, and having Family here from Ireland over Christmas and New Year, I've pretty much either been away from the camera and or SM combined.

So, I was delighted to be able to get out this morning, for my first shoot of 2023.
The potential cloud coverage was excellent at Sunrise according to the apps, and they nailed it for a change.
This was taken from the lookout up at Waverton.

Happy New Year to you all.

Hope you like "City Of Blinding Lights"
Cheers, Mike
