I have held this idea in my head for some time now. The title was pirated from an old Doors song of course and to this day, I am still not exactly sure what the song means to me. It is sexy and sad, romantic but, coldly realistic, old and angry rock but, I think...classic rock at it's best.

I made this in Blender 2.93. The background meshes, the windows and crumbling brick are made from images downloaded from CGTextures. The piano and cello, the concrete beams are models from BlenderKit. The plants were generated in Blender using the fabulous Graswald addon.

I had a pretty good time with the image and learning frustrations as well of course. I hope that you find it interesting to look at. Perhaps I will make some more interiors along these lines...anyway, comments welcome.

This image has been featured here among some beautiful images, I am honored.

It all comes round again,Time passes and the seasons roll on. Summer has faded into autumn. The bright colours of the summer are changing into browns and russets. The music of my garden is winding down. The bright, jazzy beats of summer are being replaced by lazy blues with melancholy saxophone tones. The brass keys are losing their shine and the reeds are beginning to crack and break. The notes are fading out. Lids are being closed on the old pianos as the ivory begins to tarnish and stain. The instruments of nature slowly climb back into their cases and lay themselves down to sleep. Soon there will be silence until Spring when it all comes round again. Leaves are falling and that orange carpet is forming in the woodlands that glow in the morning light. Darkness is beginning to push out the light and big jumpers and jackets have been taken out of their cupboards. Hot soup and crusty bread is back on the menu. I do love this time of year. "Fall, leaves, fall; die, flowers, away;Lengthen night and shorten day;Every leaf speaks bliss to meFluttering from the autumn tree.I shall smile when wreaths of snowBlossom where the rose should grow;I shall sing when night’s decayUshers in a drearier day." Emily BronteAlthough I don't really have a favourite season I think I would say that summer is my least favourite. I love my garden in the summer but in every other way I prefer the other times of the year. I'm not one for heat or bright sunshine. Certainly for my photography I prefer dark, threatening skies or indeed anything other than a clear blue sky I've had too many of those lately. My last trip to Northumberland was sunny and my last two trips the the Scottish Highlands were largely sunny. I did have a great time on those trips but I didn't take many pictures. I am hoping that Skye will provide me with some good old Scottish mood when I am there in November. I have noticed on my trips this year that I am always looking to tomorrow and not making the most of today. That is how it felt. I mentioned this in a comment on a picture by @Trippy4U. I have little regard for my past generally but that lack of regard has been becoming a shorter time span until I think it has caught up with me. It may even have caught up to the extent that it includes the actual day I am living in. Why is it that tomorrow always seems more exciting or attractive than today for me? It does bother me and is something I feel I need to address because that is no way to live. I'm sure it has something to do with pent up energy and desire to do more things after my year of doing very little in 2020/21. I need to slow down though and get back to enjoying the now as well as looking forward to the tomorrow or I'm going to miss out on a lot of stuff. It is possible it is because for that whole year I could only live in the today as there were really no tomorrows to speak of. I think I have a period of adjustment going on. I can still be excited about going to Skye though and I am planning on going back to Iceland next year sometime. Now it is time for me to do the thing that I love doing. Sharing your art. I enjoy it so much that I don't want to keep it to myself. I want everyone to see it so here we go. This is mainly going to be art I have collected in the last month or so. It opens with some old pianos and then becomes much more varied in subject and style. I have tried, as I always do, to feature as many of you as I can. I can only apologise if I have missed you this time but I collect so much of your art I can't include it all. Thank you so much for creating so much. I am so busy with work now that I have much less free time than I have had for a while but I really enjoy sitting down in the evening and seeing who has posted what. Also I must thank you again for leaving comments on my own work as I know I am very poor at replying due to a lack of time. I really love reading your comments so please do keep writing to me. I appreciate every word I assure you. While my time is short I feel it is better for me to spend what limited time I have concentrating on your art though and I hope you understand that means I have less time to reply to your comments to me. I do feel guilty about it. As usual please let the artist know if you like their stuff. You really can make someone's day with a kind word or a fave. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,As always I thank you for looking through all these amazing pictures. I truly hope you found some new favourites and, maybe, some new artists to love. It just remains for me to wish you all a wonderful day. DO what I should be doing and enjoy your day I will get back to doing that as it how I have always tried to live my life. This is just a blip but at least I am aware of it Share the love and keep on creating your magical art. Look after yourselves and each other. We all need some love in our lives. Take care everyone and see you soon.
