CAM - BURNING HOUSE ♥ ♪



"Burning House"

I had a dream about a burning house
You were stuck inside, I couldn't get you out
I laid beside you and pulled you close
And the two of us went up in smoke

Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong
I'll stay here with you until this dream is gone

I've been sleepwalking, been wandering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broke and make it right
I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house

See you at a party and you look the same
I could take you back but people don't ever change
Wish that we could go back in time
I'd be the one you thought you'd find

Love isn't all that it seems I did you wrong
I'll stay here with you until this dream is gone

I've been sleepwalking, been wandering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broke and make it right
I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house

The flames are getting bigger now
In this burning house
I can hold on to you somehow
In this burning house
Oh, and I don't wanna wake up
In this burning house

And I've been sleepwalking, been wandering all night
Trying to take what's lost and broke and make it right
I've been sleepwalking too close to the fire
But it's the only place that I can hold you tight
In this burning house



" La Casa en Llamas "

Tuve un sueño sobre una casa en llamas,
tú estabas atrapado dentro,
yo no podía sacarte.
Me tumbé a tu lado y tiré fuerte de ti,
y los dos nos convertimos en humo.

El amor no es todo lo que parece,
te hice mal.
Estaré aquí contigo
hasta que este sueño se haya acabado.


He estado caminando sonámbula,
deambulando toda la noche,
intentando tomar lo que se ha perdido y se ha roto,
y arreglarlo (hacerlo bien).


He estado caminando sonámbula,
demasiado cerca del fuego,
pero es el único lugar
en donde puedo abrazarte con fuerza,
en esta casa en llamas.

Te veo en la fiesta y estás igual,
podría recuperarte, pero la gente no cambia,
desería que pudiésemos ir hacia atrás en el tiempo,
yo sería aquella que tú pensaste que habías encontrado.
El amor no es todo lo que parece,
te hice mal.

Estaré aquí contigo
hasta que este sueño se haya acabado.
He estado caminando sonámbula,
deambulando toda la noche,
intentando tomar lo que se ha perdido y se ha roto,
y arreglarlo.

He estado caminando sonámbula,
demasiado cerca del fuego,
pero es el único lugar
en donde puedo abrazarte con fuerza,
en esta casa en llamas.


Las llamas se hacen más grandes,
en esta casa en llamas.
De alguna manera, puedo aferrarme a ti,
en esta casa en llamas.

Oh, y no quiero despertar,
en esta casa en llamas.
He estado caminando sonámbula,
deambulando toda la noche,
intentando tomar lo que se ha perdido y se ha roto,
y arreglarlo.

He estado caminando sonámbula,
demasiado cerca del fuego,
pero es el único lugar
en donde puedo abrazarte con fuerza,
en esta casa en llamas. 





THE CIVIL WARS - POISON & WINE ♥ ♪



"Poison & Wine"

You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Oh your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
Oh I don't love you but I always will
I always will

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Oh your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I'd still choose you

Oh I don't love you but I always will [x7]
I always will [x5]







EXTREMELY LOUD VERY CLOSE LIGHTNING STRIKE Taken by Peter Lowenstein on January 25, 2016 @ Mutare, Zimbabwe


On the afternoon of 25 January the drought, which has been affecting Mutare and Eastern Zimbabwe for several weeks, broke in spectacular fashion with a violent thunderstorm, torrential rain and very strong winds (fourth image). 

At 16.46 LT there was a single extremely loud and very close lightning strike on my premises which was captured on video by a Panasonic Lumix TZ-10 compact camera set up on a tripod on the front veranda overlooking Murambi suburb.

See accompanying animated GIF and video posted at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpL9SqTD1IQ The blinding light and deafening whip-crack report from the lightning bolt were so intense that I was unable to see or hear for a while.

The duration of the strike was so short that it occupies only two frames recorded at 30 fps (second and third images). The first frame shows a single small fireball (ball lightning?) on the overhead telephone cables at the top of a pole near my entrance gate (bottom left).

The second shows two additional smaller fireballs, illuminated raindrops and a brilliant reflection of the main lightning discharge which is just outside the field of view of the camera (top center).

The strike did not cause structural damage to the house but burnt out thousands of dollars worth of electrical equipment despite installed voltage switches, regulators and surge protectors.

Fortunately no-one was injured even though some of the lightning entered an occupied kitchen in the domestic quarters through a closed window to find earth at the electric cooker power point. 150 mm of much needed rain has fallen since then with more forecast to come.

CAUTION! At full volume the sound of the strike is so loud that it could damage speakers or affect hearing if headphones are used.















CIRCUMZENITH ARC - SUN HALO Taken by mark staples on January 30, 2016 @ Little Lake Santa Fe




Another chilly Florida morning ( 35deg ) but with a nice ever changing sunrise. The circumzenith arc appeared at 7:35 behind moving jet trails but only persisted for 10 minutes. The full sun halo with eventual sun dogs showed up at 7:45 but lasted for 30 more minutes. And it warmed up to 65 deg within a few hours!
