Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.

Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist) 
Great shot Irene. I like the Haiku too, I’ve not really got into those, no real reason, but I love to read them! I have yet to post my lingering windows photo/s, will do shortly. I’m enjoying these photo challenges!

Thanks Sherri. I agree the photo challenges are fun. I love scouring photos that I would probably never again have looked at in my life. So many memories. Haiku – new to me also and I haven’t a clue if I’m doing them correctly apart from having the correct number of syllables, but I find that they can paint a picture and a mood very quickly. The ones I admire are the ones that paint that picture without a photo there to guide you. I have to go visiting – I have been very remiss.

Yes, I know just what you mean about scouring for old photos, it’s great isn’t it! I’ve seen other bloggers using Haiku, I love yours and I’m sure you are doing it right! Yes, with or without photos, they certainly do paint a very vivid picture in a very clever way 🙂

Obvious view from a castle. Question is which castle? I like framing views through windows or arches. Nice. 🙂

It was taken from the towers of the Cathedral of Saint Pierre. There are many windows of different shapes on the way up the vast number of stairs to the top where you get a panoramic 360 degree view of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) and the town. I took oodles of shots through many of the windows but this was my favourite. Thanks for commenting.

I have been there, but didn’t climb the tower. It must have been quite a view!

Thank you for your encouraging comment. Poetry is a new medium for me but I’ve been captivated by Haikus that others have written and think they are the perfect accompaniment to a lot of images having no idea really if they’re okay. Your feedback is appreciated. 😀
