A couple of days ago the latest version of the magazine turned up. I’m still reading it. But as usual, there is normally an article which sparks my interest, and I’m barely a third of the way in to the magazine. This article is about prehistoric astronomical observatories. Not observatories as we think of themContinue reading “77/365 B&W Photography”

I had a very pleasant walk this morning. It was a little bit breezy, and it was nice to have a padded jacket, but otherwise, it was good to be out. The part of Gombrichs book, The Story of Art I’m on now, around pages 3 – 400 are dealing with the arrival, in orderContinue reading “76/365 The Story of Art”

I couldn’t tell by looking out the window this morning whether or not it was raining. Stepping out the back door I could feel just a few drops. I have this “rain tolerance” thing. I won’t go for a walk if it is absolutely chucking it down, but if it’s just a few, I’m inclinedContinue reading “75/365 A Rainy Day”

I went for my usual walk this morning, I even went on my usual route. I was about 10 minutes into my trip when I realised I didn’t have my phone with me. I’ve never forgotten my phone before. Why did I this time? It came down to what is the purpose of the walk;Continue reading “74/365 Going for a walk”

I may have used this picture before. If so, I apologise. I was awake a 5AM this morning, not unusual as the clocks had gone back. As I lay there in my nice warm bed, I could hear the rain literally hammering on the window, and the wind pounding away. Definitely not a morning toContinue reading “73/365 Rough Weather (Again)”

It doesn’t look rough does it? But it was starting to blow, and the water was falling. We decided to take a breather in Cafe 1m with a hot chocolate and an oatcake, very nice. As i write this, at about 10PM, it’s blowing quite a bit outside, and still chucking it down. When weContinue reading “72/365 Rough Weather”

I had a bit of a dilemma, It took the colour versions of these two pictures and then tried them in B&W, and couldn’t make my mind up which one to post, so tonight you get both. I have a route that I walk to work, it involves Mumby Road, Clarence Road, North Street, NorthContinue reading “71/365 B&W”

It wasn’t that I was suffering from writers block, it was partially that I couldn’t make my mind up what to write about. This morning, as I went for my 2nd walk of the week; one having been slept through, the other rained off, I looked up at the stars. Whilst frustrated by the lightContinue reading “70/365 Much Ado about…”

OK, so not the most spectacular picture of autumn colours, and this was admittedly a grab shot taken on my lunchtime walk. I didn’t get out for a morning walk because it was chucking it down. I thinks its fair to say that my least popular season has always been summer. But even this yearContinue reading “69/365 Autumn Colours”

I managed to wake up in time to go for a walk this morning. But, looking out the window it was difficult to tell whether or not it was raining. Out the back door, in my dressing gown (ready to go back to bed if it is chucking it down. It wasn’t. I went forContinue reading “68/365 The Story of Art”
