York is the principal city in Yorkshire. I booked a train ticket for today (11th December 2010) not knowing what I would find. I managed to get a wide variety of images that I will show early in the New Year.... but need to categorise them into posts.
"December is the time when J_on_tour can be a bit distracted on the tour but can also get a bit of focus for the journey."
This month is always the time when thoughts are taken up with family and friends. This particular year, I have a new set of friends and without mentioning any names of followers, today my thoughts were with those that live in certain countries and areas as I travel around the World ..... in York.

You may see my blog as a little unique or a bit deep and in a sense, like myself, it might be. In December, people do some strange things that mark their character that usually involve such things as possibly music. I'll finish with something a bit different that I have never done before with a unique band that you have never heard before. One of my favourites with a meaningful alternative December / Christmas song with a great hidden punchline..... may the journey continue .......
Keep warm, keep strong and I'll see you all before Christmas.
24 below zero and the wind is freezing.....
such along time since I saw the daylight
don't want to sleep no more
I've had enough of this night.
Waiting for the morning, waiting for the dawn.
Just another winter and another December...
There under the ice under the frozen ground
There are the seeds
and there's life to be found.
Waiting for the morning, waiting for the dawn.
Don't call this place my home, it's just a place where I was born...
So I dreamed last night there was a distant shore
and I saw someone coming over
It was me that he came for.
Waiting for the morning, waiting for the dawn.
(Mikko Kuustonen and Q stone. Royal music 1990)
