Happy Holidays

So we've got some weird sort of off-shore storm driving fifteen foot surf onto the LA beaches, and kicking up London-style fog. Total grey-out. The Lovely Wife and I are walking down the beach, watching the waves emerge from absolutely formless grey ...

.. and I look back up oni the hills of Malibu, rising stright up behind us. The fog wipes out all visibility above the road level. No sign of anything on the other side of the road, no more than the hint of cliff just past the mist ...

.. and suddenly, the sun (which we can't see) hits a glass door on house (which we also can't see) maybe two hundred feet up the cliff ...

.. and a door opens in the sky. Light streaming through the fog like a DP's dream, as if Heaven itself were on the other side of the opening that's floating in the middle of the sky. No wires, no CG, just a shining portal hanging in mid-air.

He's got a bit of a flash hand, eh?

Happy Holidays, and may you receive a little gift of inspiration from the world to start the New Year.

Or as the Morningstar says, ""All right, I admit it. He's got a point. The sunsets are bloody marvellous, you old bastard."

Happy Solstice, John.

John,
I don't know whether to tell you to go towards the light or don't go towards the light, but at least you are enjoying the atmospheric refraction and optical delights provided by the grand designer. Please thank Slarty when you see him.

I will wish you and yours a very merry Chistmas, a joyous Boxing Day, Happy New Years and a Wonderful St. Elmos Fire.

Nothing too snarky comes to mind.

Happy Christmas, ye wee gal.

Hmm you almost distracted me from the pain of the Christmas Who episode. Who did you bribe to bring your favourite character back?

Happy Holidays John
