Haunting- I love the fadedness of this. Time passes and remains only in the memory. But then the memories fade. We take photographs to catch the memories and preserve them, but the photographs themselves go through strange colour shifts and gradually disintegrate. And all the time the waves break on the shore reducing the seafront to pebbles, the pebbles to sand and the lamp posts to rust.

Thank you everyone for your comments :) always appreciated.

That gentle (mostly), invisible (mostly) progression through everything. I still have a vague issue with time remaining only in the memory I suppose. It's not that I disagree that overall, it *is* just in the memory (or many memories differently), but it feels as if you can therefore never say 'this definitely happened' because it has become subjective.

But then, if I fall over and break my leg then the event definitely happened and the bone became broken; it seems that that part of it is not just down to subjective memory. You get a sense of that particular period of time existing in it's own right, not just in the memory, as it has left a legacy (no pun intended) of it's own. But in the end, perhaps that's just subjective also. None of this is news, especially :)

Time is funny isn't it? Some things seem to leave no trace at all- all the countless millions of people who died before photography and were never painted or immortalised in verse and whose bodies haven't been put on display. And other things get unexpectedly frozen in time- like a Jurassic mosquito in a lump of amber or a baby mammoth who wantered into a bog, so that the past seems suddenly very tangible. Some old photographs act both ways- making the past seem oh so remote- what with those 1970s colour shifts, maybe, but also bringing it very close- as you see some detail - like a long-forgotten child's toy- that has long disappeared from the world of things.
