Can’t think of anything to write about? You end up with either a really feeble post, such as a couple of nights ago or sometimes a bunch of waffle that, just very occasionally turns in to something interesting. At this moment in time, I have no idea which way this post is going to go.Continue reading “781 – What happens when…”

I have had the distinct feeling that the morning walks are a bit jaded, especially at this time of year when an increasing portion of the walk is done in the dark. I must have thousands of very boring pictures of the Spinnaker taken during the walks between the autumnal and spring equinoxes. Just occasionallyContinue reading “780 – Atmosphere”

I’ve come back to the B&W article (Issue 270, page 62 Abstraction) The article looks at the photography & art of a number of different people. I’ve been taking a look at their various efforts https://bit.ly/GabrielleCroppi https://bit.ly/GiorgiodeChirico https://bit.ly/Frank_Stella https://bit.ly/Raymond_Moore Now there are more names in the artcle. and I’ll post them possibly later, but theContinue reading “779 – Arty Stuff Again”

Afew days ago I wrote about the book that my wife had acquired for me at the Alverstoke Michelmas Fair. The books is about the Soldiers of the Queen, the military in Gosport. It starts around the middle of the eighteenth century. Many of the buildings that serviced the military have gone, but many remainContinue reading “778 – Book of the week”

I’ve had the most recent issue of B&W Photography. There is usually at least one article that for one reason or another grabs my attention. This time it was an article y Tim Daly entitled “Abstraction”. I don’t think it matters where you live, I am sure that there will be lots of opportunities forContinue reading “777 – Abstract or Surreal?”

I do have an actual journal. There are one and a bit volumes of it. I’m about two thirds of the way through the second volume. It’s taken me quite a while to get here. The first volume was started on May 29th 2014. I have had a couple of goes at keeping a diary,Continue reading “776 – The Journal”

I’ve walked most days this week. The last couple of mornings especially the walks have felt really quite good. Although the weather is cooling down, I made sure I was wrapped up comfortable. The #Breakfastclubs for each morning have been very enjoyable with a range of topics being discussed. The goodness, is just a feeling.Continue reading “775 – That was the week”

There was something about this mornings walk. It was just a feeling that it was a very pleasant walk. It was nice to see the Crane Heron at the waters edge, I did get a picture, but it flew off before I could get closer. I like seeing the foxes in the car park, IContinue reading “774 – Out Walking”

Orion was very clear as I left the house at around 6AM. I didn’t take this picture from there. There’s a couple of points on the morning walk where the street lighting is a bit less annoying. Not too bad, you can even make out that the sword is not just stars. For as longContinue reading “773 – Journalling”

The two doors are No.s 16 & 17 North Cross Street. I’ve just spent a bit of time trying to find out when this was built. I’m guessing, but I’d say the 1960’s or 70’s. I don’t really know though. The thing is (sorry to say this) but I’m not interested in the building. WhatContinue reading “772 – Ooops Gosport (again)”
