One sees mud and the other stars" - Frederick Langbridge
A quote which makes you think, but you can sometimes see interesting things by looking down instead of up:
Cheers, Tom.

Morning - that's the pattern left in the sand after the tide has gone out. I'm facing along the beach, and each vertical line is a highpoint that waves got to as the tide receded.

Morning!
Both pics are eye catching. The bottom one looks like waves of gold. x-

Very true, lots of buildings are far more interesting if you look at the tops of them - especially banks for some reason

That's true about banks. I wonder why that is?

Absolutely - there has just been a thing on the news here about the fact that irish banks own millions of pounds worth of artwork that the public don't even get to see!

Lovely pictures, Tom! Profound, as usual....
Looking to see where you're going can keep you from stepping into some very unpleasant 'stuff'...-

I tend to look down when there are no stars, mainly to make sure I'm not treading in the mud.

Hi Tom, I googled him:
Re. Frederick Langbridge, English Poet and religeous writer. Born 1849 - 1923 in Birmingham of Irish Decent. Went to Merton College.
"Oh some seek bread - no more - life's mere subsistance
And some seek wealth and ease - the common quest.
And some seek fame, that hovers in the distance.
But all are seeking rest.
(Rest)
Two men looked out through the same prison bars:
One saw mud, and one saw stars"
(Sight)
Taken from "In a cluster of quiet thoughts" by the The Religeous Tract Society.
There is more "stuff" about him if you want to look.-
