Shutting Out The Chaos (Variations On A Theme)

I was running on fumes today so was so glad to reach my favourite day of the week. For a start the commuter trains both on the way up and the way back home were so much quieter and therefore much less stressful and overcrowded journeys. It's also the day me and a fellow photographic colleague nearly always pop to the pub for something to eat and drink and have a bit of a laugh and a good old chinwag. As we mainly work on our own a lot of the time it'a great way to relax for an hour.
With today's main image I wasn't actually feeling like that at the time (I was actually playing some music and having a good old sing along!) but I was trying to express those times when everything can get a bit overwhelming and your brain is overloaded and you just need to shut out the chaos. The last two years have been a maelstrom of traumatic events and depressing news, on top of the usual worries and anxieties, and I think we've all had to try and shut out the chaos and distress at times but hopefully we all have something we can escape into. Mine is definitely photography and music - and blipping, of course!
