#NorthCountry #Winter

i suppose we need the doom and gloom to appreciate the sun shining and blue sky.

for #PhotoMonday I have another from my Ice Series. It's titled: post Imbolc: fa-la-la-la-la

The lighting from the overcast created an image that was black and white. That's been the the color pallet of the landscape for weeks.

Took myself away from staring at a computer screen and wrangling websites to walk the hound. Beautiful blue and gold evening, looking towards the Cheviot Hills. A January wind, but the promise of spring around the corner.

'"Ye canna' die wi' wild feathers."

In the old times in Northumberland (and beyond) it was believed that putting pigeon feathers, or those of any wild bird, in a pillow would prevent death coming at the proper time. A person on a wild feather pillow would linger in pain and suffering and be unable to 'cross over', so these should never be used.

This belief also seems to have held in Yorkshire, as Emily Brontë wrote in Wuthering Heights: "Ah, they put pigeons' feathers in the pillows; no wonder I couldn't die."

After spending decades studying music, I designed, built, and patented a #machinelistening #technology now used to track people's mood allowing corporations to advertise to them more effectively. For this I am simultaneously proud and very very sorry.

Which may explain why I live in a cabin on the side of a mountain in northern #NewHampshire with a #rescuedog named Scully, #makemusic in a 7.1.4 studio.

When I’m not releasing music you’ll likely find me #camping somewhere in the #northcountry.

Adirondack mood.
