We're into a series of October storms on the western side of Britain. This image was taken at 2:45pm 20th October 2008 and is, of course, The Perch Rock Lighthouse, New Brighton at the mouth of The River Mersey.

Some suitable climactic music now. the Dies Irae and Tuba Mirum from the Berlioz Grande Messe des Morts. One of the most powerful pieces of Classical Choral music ever written. This performance is from The 2000 Proms sung in The Albert Hall. Mrs B and I sang this same work in The Albert Hall in the mid 1980's.
