BBC Bosses Draw Up Plans to Win Over Reform Voters by Changing News and Drama Output The Director General Tim Davie and other executives discussed altering BBC “story selection” in order to secure the "trust" of supporters of Nigel Farage’s party

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?

4 boring brown sheds lined up in front of crag covered in a birchwood glowing brilliant green in the spring sunshine.

An incongruous patch of astroturf set into a carefully tended green sward in front of crag covered in a birchwood glowing brilliant green in the spring sunshine. Trucks pass by on the highway at the foot of the crag.

Back to blue skies here again …and brown sheds and spring greens

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

Blue skies over Cairngorm; a layer of altocumulus fractures the rays beaming down on Glenmore from a glaring sun, now high in the sky in early March. Pity about that weedy birch tree that blocks the view. I could easily have moved to the side to avoid it but I would have had to get up off my rock…

Here’s one for #BlueSkyMonday

Blue skies over Cairngorm Mountain and the Lairig Ghru; a layer of altocumulus fractures the rays beaming down on Glenmore from a glaring sun, now high in the sky in early March.

This was yesterday - no blue skies here today :(

The view from a window, looking across a street to a distant landscape with a vivid, orange sunrise lighting up a winter morning, with snow on the ground. A model ship is displayed on the windowsill, silhouetted against the light and bracketed by seashells.

From my window one winter morning.

Sunrise shadow selfie with sailing ship. The dawn rises over the hills, casting a warm light on the wall, and the shadow of a model sailing boat which sits on the windowsill. I step into the frame and angle my iphone to capture a self portrait composition.

A monochromatic photograph where the frame is divided into quadrants of varying tones and textures. The elements: a tall aluminium pole feeds fibre optic cables to the street, below a dark and threatening mid-day sky with a fleet of lenticular clouds scudding by in the distance.

Seeing ‘faces’ in weathered stone near Albany, Western Australia. An effect referred to as pareidolia.

I lost count at thirty, but I must admit I have a particularly bad case of pareidolia.
