Power of winter Sun

Photograph taken of a vineyard late January morning looking towards the South Downs. How powerful the Sun is. Didn’t look through the camera as took this.

Panoramio photos need new home

With imminent ending of Google+ – wonder if there are any solid apps to upload mapped Panoramio photos – which will be around for a while? And hoping videos on You Tube attached to same account are safe? – Dont know who to ask. Makes you reallise how fleeting these apps are and wonder which […]

the blank page

Watched a programme that talked about Raymond Brigg’s book – ‘When the wind blows’ that used a double page blank spread – to explain what a nuclear explosion might feel like.

Intuitive Pruning of Fruit Trees

Trying to focus on own stuff and forget the craziness going on in the World outside our front door – have found an escape in pruning our fruit trees. Gardening is always good (for me) to bring you back to Earth and what is really important. Although outside World more and more seems to draw […]
