23rd April, day 29 lockdown. Diary – time to depart Amalfi Coast and head back to London, catch up with Whanau, visit some castles and then J and T fly home. Bet they don’t have sunsets like this in London or even Amalfi.
The sunset on Day 28 was incredible. It was like a long, glowing comforter that stretched from the South to the North in an endless show of colour. It was low and heavy and just kept deepening in the sky. People flocked to the beach to watch it (2 metres apart of course). It was special and I was glad I grabbed the camera to capture the moment.
This travel blog has always had that purpose: designed to not only keep in touch and share with family and friends whilst I am away but also to capture the moment, remember the mood and reignite the memories in times to come. My printed out blog books sit by my coffee chair and I pick them up often, picture the moment, read the commentary and stroll down memory lane remembering how wonderful the world is and how lucky I have been to see it.
Captured moments have held my attention in the last few days as I have been searching for just one moment from my youth for a FB thing that is going round and do you think I can find one? The answer is no. I can find lots of captured moments featuring others but none of me. Time flies when you look backwards and its easy to forget that the moment was further away than you thought, in a time and space where the internet was not yet a thing, let alone a phone that you could walk around with and take a picture whenever you chose. The reality was that even if you managed to sneak off with your parents camera, developing film was expensive and selling glass bottles and delivering pamphlets only went so far. Then of course there is the fact that the selfie is a very new thing and it still seems incredibly foreign to turn a camera inwards and point it at yourself.
So no photo but nevertheless trolling through hundreds of photos trying to find a one is the most time consuming thing you can do. A search for a moment of time captured brings up minutes and hours and days of memories that have etched themselves into our heart and minds. They bring such a sense of nostalgia, melancholy, laughter, love and joy which can keep us engrossed for hours. I wonder how new generations will manage the storing and protecting of these precious moments and can only hope they do better than I have. At least they will never have to spend hours trying to find a photo of themselves in their youth they will only have to worry about picking the right one from the 100’s at their disposal.

Though this device comes as a amerikabulteni.com order levitra savior for the patient, but no primary drug has been proven effective throughout history.I am going to finish as I started with the brilliance of this sunset that I am going to consign to my blog book so I can eventually print it out and get to relive the moment at another time and plead that you at least view it on your tablet or PC and not just your phone so that you too can share in the brilliance of Mother Nature.
On a side note I am also pleased to report that today I got a phone call from a enthusiastic blog reader with a hot tip for some street art that I have missed so I am excited to get out tomorrow and capture some more brilliance when I thought I had seen it all. Silly Me.
