A beautiful sight once again

This morning I saw a sight I haven't seen for a while . Two large Buzzards soaring round and round , climbing higher and higher in the sky . Sounds like some cheesey  TV film image , but it was beautiful . There was a boom in the buzzard population in the dale about 5 years ago and then they suddenly disappeared . Ive heard there are some local " numb nuts "  who shoot them illegally and probably poison them too . ( a Red Kite was found dead a while ago , the result of poisoning according to the RSPCA ) .Buzzards are scavengers so I don't know what threat they are meant to pose . Maybe some people resent  the fact these mighty birds soar so majestically and feel they must put them in their place . That's a strange idea but I really sense this maybe . Yes " small men who measure things " comes to mind !

Zone 1994

        

Back in the day I listened to old mix tapes of DJ Chris Baker but of course lost them when times moved onto Cd's but today thanks to You tube  ive found something fairly close to what once moved me so much . The more you listened to his music the more addictive it became . Long car journeys home late at night were heavan and getting home I would often sit in my car to finish listening to the mix . Of course this sounds pants on a lap top or phone so a proper stereo is needed . I had many peak experience moments listening to his mixes . It was the constant rhythm and slight tempo changes again and the changes of emotion up and down , then melancholy , then hyper again . Just like life really . Yes I can not overstate how much this DJ moved me .
