I never find the time to do everything, but love the things I do. Very easy to make friends with and never judge people by what others have said, as I am capable of finding out for myself.BIOBorn in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK. Was lousy at school and taught myself later on in life. Suffered a long illness in childhood and was constantly bullied on my return to school and so glad when I left. First ever job was making cricket bats and hockey sticks.
My interests have changed through life but are all art orientated. I can draw a little but don't bother much now only on the computer. Retired early due to redundancy and have no desire to start again. Live more comfortable than most in this sorry world, though I do sponsor third world children. My lot has not always been a happy one, but I am so grateful for what I have. I know a lot of people who I love and they love me in return, what more could a man ask.
The photograph is years old and was taken by my Aunt who is now in her 86th year. I have kept my hair although it has gone from blonde to grey. The rest of me is not in bad condition although I have gained a little weight due to inactivity with a broken ankle. I am hoping for some decent weather so that I can cycle the countryside once again. Best wishes, Dave - 12th April 2005
23rd June 2005 - I have just removed my favourite artists list, not out of malice it's just to stop the dreaded ebots :) I had a lot more favourites than was listed anyway so it was not up-to-date. I love you all but I must devote time to my wife who is not mobile anymore and needs my help. I may stop by from time to time, but if not I still think of you all. Yours sincerely, Dave

They fall apart, crumbling to the ground and Mother nature once more reigns in its place. Then several hundred years later, archeologist stumble upon a find and resurrect the remains.

Here death churches are transformed into museum and art galleries... Which is maybe a secret path... I love these two shots, It touch my soul. Thanks for sharing!

Yes! Love the comp in the top one! That looks sooooo kewl!!! I think you answered your own question, Dave, churchs don't get buried, they stand as long as God wants them to, as reminders of our sins!

Remarkably abandoned church building! Running out of sinners, hmmm, if that could be the reason, it would be great, but I'm afraid it ran out of people! Fantastic mini-series! :)

Yep, thought the same as Jan... Running out of sinners, hmmm, if that could be the reason, it would be great, but I'm afraid it ran out of people! Love the compo in the top one... top notch, Dave... and love the architectural details in the bottom one... very beautiful! Have a great first Advent Sunday, Dave!
