The picture is of one the Clarence Gates at the western end of the high street. I managed to get the sun through the glass globe at the top of the gate. I made a slight change to my route this morning, so that I walked the length of Spring Garden Lane. I am tryingContinue reading “287/366 Out and about”

Frustratingly none of the pictures I took on this morning’s walk really inspired me, this is perhaps the closest. It’s the blue in the sky and the water and the green of the grass. When I was at college I did geology. I’d never done it before. But I haven’t forgotten how much I enjoyedContinue reading “286/366 My Brain”

From the picture it’s obvious that there were some clouds about, but the blue sky was as striking a blue as the grass is green. It’s just sad that the tree is a victim of the winds over the weekend. The weather can really dictate how the walk feels. It was quite cloudy as IContinue reading “285/366 A bright, clear sky”

It;s not that the weather has been all over the place, it hasn’t. It has been windy and wet, and occasionally a bit cold. To me, this isn’t rough weather, it has character. I enjoy it. Walking westwards along Stokes Road I was walking into the wind. It’s been very brisk all weekend. We hadContinue reading “284/366 Out for a walk”

Just a minor apology for yesterday’s article, a couple of mis-types, now corrected. Once again, rushing to publish, but all sorted now hopefully. Yesterday was a very windy day. The house in the picture, if you were to look at the map of the Weald & Downland Living Museum is R4 – The rural farmhouseContinue reading “283/366 Saturday”

Firstly, I need to apologise for last nights post. It really was quite a dreadful piece of writing. I was supposed to write about the weather. I wanted to make it an article about meteorology rather than just the weather, but I lost it completely. It was a case of just get something published. IContinue reading “282/366 Writing the Week”

I don’t know what kind of clouds these are. I know they aren’t cirrus or stratus, they’re storm clouds? I think Cumulonimbus Nimbus are the high thundercloud. What all of this is leading up to is that I am a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society, because I always look at and admire the clouds.Continue reading “281/366 The Weather”

I’ve said before that I am reading Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People. Written in the year 731. I have to confess, that for the first time since I started this blog project, I am having major problems writing about a book that I am reading. For the time being, I think I amContinue reading “280/366 Book of the week”

The walk to the waterfront usually takes me just about 10 minutes. I follow the same route most of the time. As I leave the house, I look up at the sky, to see what it looks like. I’ve looked at it once already out of the bedroom window, but that was 10 minutes ago,Continue reading “279/366 The Waterfront”

If I am going to devote tonight’s piece about the latest issue of Black & White Photography, I really should have a B&W photo at the head. I must admit that of the photos I took today, this I thought would be the least worst picture in B&W. But actually, it’s not too bad, evenContinue reading “278/366 B&W Issue 252”
