A view for the inside of one of the Eastern State Penitentiary cells. I enjoyed the rich textures and wonderful light from the overhead skylight but couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to get out, escape...

Bay Fishing
Sunset and the reflection of lights from the Sea Gull Pier on an unusually claim ocean at mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. The pier extends from the southernmost of four man-made Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel islands on US 13 connecting Virginia Beach/Norfolk to Virginia's Eastern Shore.

Haunted
Sleep brings no joy to me.
Remembrance never dies.
My soul is given to mystery,
And lives in sighs.
Sleep brings no rest to me;
The shadows of the dead
My wakening eyes may never see
Surround my bed.
Sleep brings no hope to me,
In soundest sleep they come,
And with their doleful imag'ry
Deepen the gloom.
Sleep brings no strength to me,
No power renewed to brave;
I only sail a wilder sea,
A darker wave.
Sleep brings no friend to me
to soothe and aid to bear;
They all gaze on, how scornfully,
And I despair.
Sleep brings no wish to fret
My harassed heart beneath;
My only wish is to forget
In endless sleep of death.
From The Horrors of Sleep by Emily Bronte
