‘In a computer fairyland
it is a dream you bring to life.
Stop - living on video
stop - integrated circuits. . . .
stop - sur un
faisceau de lumieres
stop - is this reality?’

So many of us now lead digitally focussed lives and there’s certainly an appeal. I derive great happiness from seeing so many wonderful pictures on Flickr. It’s a true pleasure to interact with so many very talented people. The thing that I enjoy the most is the thoughtfulness of all the people who I’ve come across, and the tremendous kindness.

I don’t think everyone enjoys quite the same pleasant experience online, and there are certainly dangers, ‘Stop, is this reality?’ I remember the first time I heard someone quoting a Facebook post about the news as ‘fact’, it seemed strange at the time, but it’s normal now.

What a prophetic song, and written back in 1981!

So where’s the connection with the picture? Enthusiasts gather their pictures and videos that will soon be ‘sur un faisceau de lumiere/on a beam of light’ for the enjoyment of others, and hopefully my own picture now joins with this!

As an aside, what a lovely group of people too, everyone cooperating so that all could get their pictures. I rather liked how this group lined up like slip fielders in a cricket match!
