Wall of Death! (PiP)

Wall of Death! (PiP)
Captured from across the harbour at Tarbert, Scotland, this shows the Funeral Director's premises and the harbour wall complete with small boat
The PiP gives a wider view, - and more walls!!

With apologies for the irreverent title!

I have added a song called 'The Wall of Death' written by Richard Thompson and performed by Richard and Nanci Griffith

and

'Wall of Death' by REM

Un joli bâtiment, pour les pompes funèbres, dans un charmant endroit ! Espérons que ce lieu adoucisse la peine de ceux qui ont perdus un être cher !
J'aime beaucoup le recadrage avec la scène du petit bateau qui attend le retour de l'eau bien amarré au mur !
Bonne journée, Carol ! HWW !

Thank you very much Henri. I would agree and I admire anyone who can do the job with the right degree of sympathy, support and respect. It is not a job I could have ever done, - I would be a blubbering mess. I cry at funerals, weddings, sad films, happy films, cute animals and any hurt, real of imagined!!!

I am pleased you like it. Enjoy the rest of your day Henri. HWW

Ha ha, I didn't understand the title until I viewed full screen Carol, and then I read your notes....very clever!! Richard Thompson is my daughter, Michelle's guitar hero, and guess what! His sister lives opposite her in Ashmore. She met him last year and was star struck!!

HWW and a happy Wednesday Carol.

P.S. A beautiful PiP too :-)

Ecobird club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne
;-)))) It was one of those moments Rosa - when you see something in your head you can't 'unsee' it!!

How amazing for your daughter to live so close to Richard Thompson's sister, especially as she is such a fan of his. It must have been wonderful for her to meet him, and when he visits again she might get the opportuity to meet him again!!

HWW and enjoy the rest of the week

The young lady who owns the Funeral Director's that handled the funerals for both my parents was really lovely too Dinesh. I think it takes a special kind of person to do the job well.

Thank you Edna. A little irreverent I know but once I thought it I couldn't unthink it;-))) No offence intended but the music will out!!! (Well when I get it right anyway!!)

Yes a Happy Wall Wednesday - after all we are all grateful that someone takes care of our loved ones when they have passed away!

Sorry Edna, - I don't know how that happened!!! All correct now hopefully!

Edna Edenkoben club has replied to Ecobird club
Oh, it's ok with me, Carol. I think it's rather funny ;-)
And you're so right with what you said in your second paragraph :-)
No problem, Carol, sh.. happens ;-))) And it can happen to the best! :-)) Everything's fine now...and I must say that I like the R.E.M. version a little better. But that's sheer personal preference.
