ABC Wednesday – C

C is for the Chinese New Year moving from the Year of Pig to the year of Rat – Wu Zi.

C is also for my - Camera - of which I have taken many of the photos presented in my blog.

C is for COCO Chanel and the scent of my wife. (my own Platinum Egoiste to the left)C is for Construction Cranes, and this photo can also be seen as an invitation to join - The Sky Watch Friday fellowship .


C is for one of my first painting from 2002, the Clown (Trist som faen)

As you may be able to see has he lost one of the buttons in his jacket. May be there is a suitable button in - DOT´s Collection from last week ABCW.

C is for Cars like those I presented in my - Blogpost in May - last year.

C is for Chopin and Stanislav Bunin playing fantasie-impromptu at this - YouTube - video of 5.24 minutes.

C is for City Houses at - Camilla Collets gate - in Oslo

The C behind your C today must be the "largest" of all possible Cs on earth - one fourth of the earth's population!

Re your post on Edmund's Blog. Yes we have been remembering the Munich air tragedy of 1958. When the team was re-formed a local footballer by the name of Bob Hardesty who play for Bishop Auckland County Durham was called to play for Manchester Utd. When I was at college, training to be a teacher he was my PE tutor.

here are the words from a folk song written for the service. Today these words will be read out at the memorial service.

The Flowers of Manchester

One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany,
Seven great football stalwarts conceded victory,
Seven men will never play again who met destruction there,
The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester

Matt Busby's boys were flying, returning from Belgrade,
This great United family, all masters of their trade,
The pilot of the aircraft and the skipper Captain Thain,
Three times they tried to take her up and twice turned back again.

The third time down the runaway disaster followed close,
There was ice upon the wings and the aircraft never rose,
It ran upon the marshy ground, it broke, it overturned.
And seven of the team were killed when the battered aircraft burned.

Roger Byrne and Tommy Taylor who were capped for England's side.
And Ireland's Billy Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died,
Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David Pegg also,
Before the blazing wreckage went ploughing through the snow.

The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew,
Also eight sporting journalists who with United flew,
and one of them was Big Swifty, we never will forget,
the greatest English 'keeper who ever graced a net.

They said that Duncan Edwards had an injury to his brain,
They said that Jackie Blanchflower would never play again,
Matt Busby he was lying there, the father of the team
Six months or more did pass before he saw another game

Oh, England's finest football team its record truly great,
its proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate.

Seven men will never play again, who met destruction there,
the flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester

I enjoyed "ceeing" all your "Cs"! I like the clown picture and yes he could gladly have a button from my jar.

Lilli & Nevada said...

All very nice C's like the Channel shows you love your wife

bonnie said...

I have been enjoying looking at your blog and your photos. I'm so delighted that you post in English! I don't like everything about Hilary, but she will get my vote. I didn't like her husband either at first, but I felt he matured into a wonderful leader for our country.

Digital Flower Pictures said...

Hi there, I will add you to my ABC blog roll for next week. Nice photos and a good collections of C's. I have a friend that goes by Coco Chanel on the web and now I know where it comes from.

GAWO said...

Et helt knippe med C'er og jeg syntes den første (for Kina) var genial, og Klovnen er helt nydelig. Enda så trist han er :-( så blir jeg glad av å se på han.

Randi said...

Du verden, her flommer det over av kreativitet. Jeg kom ikke på noe når jeg satt og tenkte på c...bare kjedelige ting. Så jeg er imponert!...men det skal jo ikke så mye til for å imponere meg da...hehehe:))

Dragonstar said...

These are very interesting. I have seen a road like your last photo in Cardiff, Wales.

Miss_Yves said...

I enjoyed your collection of "C", particularly The clown and Coco Chanel !

Combien de "C"?
Miss Yves

Mary Stebbins Taitt said...

Great Cs, I particularly like the last one.

photowannabe said...

Terrific art work and photography. You are a talented man. The choice of C's is the best.

DeeMom said...

Super pictures, and still the music How wonderful that is

Neva said...

The music was wonderful....very good choice for c....lots of c's...Nicely done.

Andrea said...

You are full of C's today. I am surprised Dot is willing to share buttons from her inheritance.

You are correct about the caboose, it is the red car at the end of the train. We do not use cabooses today as they did when I was a child. I remember waiting for the caboose. Now they just have a sensor on the last car I believe since everything is so electronic with the railroad crossings.

Marie said...

This is a great post, much more elaborate than mine.

It's funny to see how much the Europeans are interested in the American presidential campaign this year!

Katney said...

An excellent collection of photos as always.

VP said...
