[Spoken Intro]
And disciplinary remains mercifully
Yes and um, I'm with you Derek, this star nonsense
Yes, yes
Now which is it?
I am sure of it

[Song]
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
For a leading role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

I wasn't going to take this pic, and was walking away when something made me turn back and raise the camera.

For some reason I don’t understand this puts me in mind of the Strange Days album cover. Quadrophenia too, as the four chaps seem to reflect different bits of the Marchbanks personality. Shame one of them isn’t clutching a bottle of Rochefort. That mini-bass thing looks like fun, what is it?
 
Some great and diverse entries, in no particular order:-

Kilpeck Church, Herefordshire. The doorway dates from the 1140's and is said to depict hell on the side pillars and heaven in the firmament arch over the door.



Heaven And Hell
by Mr ff1d1l, on Flickr

Interesting (and great detail), but perhaps more Black Sabbath (Heaven and Hell) than Pinkl Floyd!!

Definitely a gatefold album sleeve! A real sort of concept that a band like Pinkl Floyd would have put together - very clever

Yesterday. Today I'm back home.

I can definitely relate to the 'Wish You Were Here'

Off somewhere nice?

Immediately made me think of

Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky

Ooh

Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the
Promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?

A peaceful tranquil area, somewhere to retreat to.

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from hell?
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?

This was on our our dog walk yesterday, looking towards Ben Avon in the Cairngorms:

But its this one that to me most fits the theme title - the added lyrics gave it a bonus point! so over to SteveG for the next theme.

That’s exactly what I’m doing. This is the front cover of an album that these 4 old gits made during lockdown. I finished this collage last week and am just waiting for the track order to paste it in on the back left. The gentlemen you see all sang in isolation and sent their recorded parts to he of the cloak. The 17 tracks we did are in mastering as I write. I’ve emailed him your question since I don’t know!

Finally a reply. It’s a Bass Ukulele, made in Hawaii and used by Ukulele bands! The strings are hand made in Italy and cost £5 each I’m told:)

Thanks. I thought it looked a little like one of those Kala-type basses in electric form, which I've always quite fancied.
 
And still no wine. Mastering decisions today. With cake and tea! At 5 pm!! Luckily I was 400 miles away at the time.
