Interesting sights driving back down from Yorkshire this evening. Every town, every city I passed may well have been at war, such was the intensity of fireworks lighting up the night sky.
Special thanks must go to the eejits who let off a number of airbombs right next to the motorway. I mean that's not going to scare the crap out of high-speed drivers now is it?
Glad I got back in time to watch Planet Earth though and duly spent the last hour utterly mesmerised.
What a contrast though when it's followed by the latest news, unsurprisingly dominated by Iraq once more. Makes one wonder sometimes when we really earned the right to shape this planet so completely, not just for ourselves, but the innumerable species with which we share it.
This teeming, noisy, yet lonely planet... Millions of miles in either direction?
Silence.

It really does make you wonder doesn't it Ing.
Very humbling.
It never ceases to amaze me, that as a species we contain such potential for greatness and damnation. With all possibilities open, it makes you wonder why we can't live a saner, safer existance.
