Wind and Wuthering, Fog and February

This foggy scene taken on Sunday reminds me of the album cover for Wind and Wuthering by Genesis (see below). The band played Manchester Free Trade Hall on the Wind and Wuthering tour for two dates in January 1977.

The album's title derives from two pieces: The "Wind" comes from a Manhattan Chinese restaurant, the title given to a piece that became part of Eleventh Earl of Mar; the "Wuthering" alludes to Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Two other titles on the album are from the last sentence in that novel, namely Unquiet slumbers for the sleepers and In that quiet earth.

  8. It's an excellent picture.
    Now, if you can imagine some dark, gloomy hills in the background and a few sheep huddling under tree you get an idea of what it's like round here, for most of the year!

  10. Good photo and excellent likeness! I wonder if anyone has tried to curate a set of photos similar to album covers? (Lots of people have one like The Beatles Abbey Road of course). I searched and the only collection I could find is sleeveface.

  11. Wonderful photo, very similar to the album cover. Maybe that could become a new theme for bloggers, recreating famous covers.
