A collage of thirteen images, with a quote from each chapter of The Dark Is Rising by Susan Cooper, bookended with a seascape with the quote: “When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back; Three from the circle, three from the track; Wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone; Five will return, and one go alone.”

A photo of countryside in winter - in the foreground of the photo is snow, with some gorse breaking through. In the distance is a tree covered hill, the trees are spattered with snow. On the sky a quote has been added: “He was crystal-clear awake, in a Midwinter Day that had been waiting for him to wake into it since the day he had been born, and, he somehow knew, for centuries before that.” Midwinter Day, The Dark is Rising
Photo of me, newly hairless (due to chemo) at the beach, sunglasses on. First bald selfie.
A wintery beach, in moody blues, with a quote from Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising written across the sky in white type: “When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back; Three from the circle, three from the track; Wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone; Five will return, and one go alone.”
Photo looking up through the supports of the Øresund Bridge to a blue sky with a lot of white and grey clouds.
My thumb holding my Radar key - which is a large golden (brass really) key, about 3 inches long - with the backdrop of a big standard public toilet.
Silhouette of three trees, denuded of leaves, with a pink/red/orange winter morning sky in the background, taken from the hospital car park
Picture of a 45 year old handmade snowman about 6 inches tall - with pompom head, pompom body, red ribbon scarf and a crumpled cardboard hat. He is sitting probably too close to an advent candle.
