… for a short while! I’ll explain. Back in 2005 I found myself in Bolivia, as you do! I’ll be honest and say that I was a little apprehensive I’d heard stories, drug cartels, violence, on the US dangerous to visit list etc. I found the people wonderful, saw no demonstrations, fights or violence, inContinue reading “Bolivia: The end of film…”

Scotland
Almost exactly 15 years ago I went to Scotland with a good friend. We went to a Buddhist retreat on the shores of Loch Voil. Above is the view from Creag An Tuirc. It was interesting experience, one that mostly I enjoyed very much. On the journey up we stopped at Kendal in the LakeContinue reading “Scotland”
Single Photo: Kings Life Guard
A member of the Kings Life Guard, at Horse Guards Parade in London. I made this image with my Canon 5D MkII, I can tell from the meta data that I chose to use 400 ISO, f5.6 at 50th second. I can also tell you that the image was made at 2:42pm (but who cares!).Continue reading “Single Photo: Kings Life Guard”
Breakfast at Aroma
The building that once housed the local Witherspoons, (Budget Pub/Food, something like Denny’s with a pub attached!) is now one of a small chain called Aroma. It’s been completely revamped and recently re-opened it’s doors. I went and had a traditional English breakfast a few days ago – and very good it was too! InContinue reading “Breakfast at Aroma”
Lydford Gorge: Colour
A couple of posts ago I wrote about Lydford Gorge and how it’s been split in two by the raging waters of the winter. This post is “the other end” which was once the main start point for a walk through the gorge. A new bridge (above) now spans the river Lyd, to take walkersContinue reading “Lydford Gorge: Colour”
An exhibition at Mottisfont
Much of what is seen today at Mottisfont, is the work and creation of Gilbert and Maud Russell, who brought the house in 1934 from the then owner. They both restored and changed the house. During the WWII Gilbert died and Maude moved to London to work for the admiralty. It is thought offering translationContinue reading “An exhibition at Mottisfont”
Blue Sky!
A nice bright sunny morning combined with a day off has been a rarity in recent times. I had to make the most of it so jumped in the car and drove the short distance to Kingston Lacy, our local National Trust property. February is always busy as it’s “Snowdrop Time”. This year I missedContinue reading “Blue Sky!”
A solo photo of a solo flower
I’ve lost my photography mojo! About the time of the start of Covid I purchased a “Peace Lilly” from the local garden centre, where I typically have breakfast once a week. It out grew the pot and I had to split it. Another couple of years and repeat – I now have 5! So farContinue reading “A solo photo of a solo flower”
Phone/Blog
My posts have slipped from being one every two days to longer intervals. This is not a deliberate decision. I’ve done much less photography this winter, especially film, in fact in the last two months I’ve only shot two rolls – unheard of for me! The weather has been very wet and dull in theseContinue reading “Phone/Blog”
AI and the stupidness of it.
Bolstered by the non-success of my new laptop, I’ve now proceeded to purchase a phone, or is it a camera or a paperweight? The new laptop is up and running, and I’m typing on it now. That seems fine. Of course I can’t switch it on or get to any programmes or do anything usefulContinue reading “AI and the stupidness of it.”
