The picture was taken on last years trip to London. I thought it was quite amusing. At the beginning of the week I set myself a mission; I laid out seven topics, and I was to write about them in no particular order over the course of the week. Tonight’s topic is writing. Perhaps notContinue reading “98/365 Writing”

I think there is a point up until which, it is almost impossible to separate art from religion, it was a tool that was used to illustrate religious events. The 16th Century introduced the reformation. I haven’t really looked at the reformation, I’d heard of it of course, but not having looked in to it,Continue reading “97/365 The Story of Art”

I acknowledge that the two pictures weren’t taken at the same time of day, from the same angle, at the same time of year. But they are sufficiently close that they will do for my purpose. That purpose is to compare the normal and night modes on the P20 Pro. For whatever reason I haven’tContinue reading “96/365 Photography”

This picture was taken October last year. We had a lovely day in London. Sometimes it’s nice to look back to remember good times. I didn’t go for a walk this morning. I woke up around 6:15 ish. I’ve previously explained the self imposed problem I have getting out of the house by 0610. InContinue reading “95/365 Monday”

I’ve seen the small single person sailboats with a hydrofoil. But it is only recently that I’ve noticed surfboards, whether sail, or kite, with a hydrofoil. The reduction in friction means that these things can reach sixty miles an hour. It’s amazing to see. I’m not tempted to indulge though. Up until about an hourContinue reading “94/365 A rainy day”

It’s Saturday, we decided that there weren’t any house jobs we felt we had to do. So, we’ve had a a bit of a relaxing day. That’s OK, I won’t complain about that. Not long before lunch, I suggested that it would be quite nice if we went back to the waterfront at Titchfield Haven.Continue reading “93/365 A Blustery Day by the Sea”

The morning skies are getting darker. It won’t be long before my entire morning walk will take place at night. Every day, the length of the daylight or night changes by at least a couple of minutes per day. The light over the Haslar Marina had a strangle very delicate glow to it, quite unusual.Continue reading “92/365 An Erie Light”

I’ve been walking this route for almost four years now would you believe, 5 days a week for the most part. All year round, the exceptions are rain, holidays, illness, and over-sleeps. I’ve probably accumulated not far short of 20,000 pictures of the same subject. Well not really, the same area, but each picture isContinue reading “91/365 Blowing in the wind”

Ah! Right, so this is not quiete what I intended. No. 90/365 was going to be a celebration of the fact that I had reached No. 90. Then of course, not the doubts, but the wondering set in, should I celebrate at No. 90, or or as seems more likely at 100 – given thatContinue reading “90/365 Ooops”

One of my magazines turned up earlier this week, Country Walking. Like Black & White Photography, I like reading this publication cover to cover (almost). For me, it’s a combination of reading about people’s walking experiences, lovely pictures from all over the country and quite frequently, you pick up something of interest. This issue (413,Continue reading “89/365 Country Walking”
