11x14 pastel and acrylic painting on paper of portrait of American photographer Saul Leiter.

"Portrait Of Saul Leiter." Acrylic and pastel. #art #artsky #painting #painter #blueskyart #photography

Born in 1923, Leiter was an American photographer and painter best known for his impressionistic, painterly street photography. I love his work.

Got the large canvas for part 2 of the diptych prepared last night and hope to start later… meanwhile this piece of cardboard pulls me in

It's a local stopping service, Chapeltown, Elsecar, Wombwell and the rest, eleven stations from end to end. The carriage is empty when I board and only half-full when I leave. I unfold and refold the maps, the Explorers and the Landrangers, repack the rucksack, and drift in and out of sleep. 3/

The walking begins at 4.42am, three miles from Hillsborough to Sheffield station, out of the house into a stop-start sprint and the rucksack as light as I can make it. Langsett Road, Infirmary Road, West Bar. A walk before the walk. 5.18am when I reach the platform. 5.28am when the train departs. 2/

Shipping containers on the waterside at Stourton, two miles south-east of Leeds city centre.

A walk from Leeds to Goole, via the River Aire, the Aire and Calder Navigation, the Knottingley and Goole Canal, the New Junction Canal and the Dutch River, 6.45am to 9.52pm Friday 26 September.

Five copies of 'Eely' by Steve Ely, spines facing outwards.

Sky darkens bright with ancient light from uncountable
pinprick galaxies, where ‘Oumuamua is lost in space,
swept blind in the Big Bang’s current. A little eel
slips off, begins to make her way downstream.

Don't we owe them more than terror? Are we comfortable with the idea that we continue gilding and embellishing and redecorating the present by looting the future.

The cover of ' Juice' a novel by Tim Winton.

Since I'm quoting Tim Winton talking about the climate crisis in my last post((the quote comes from a talk at Canberra Writers Festival about his novel 'Juice') a shout out for the book
A cli-fi thriller, it asks a fundamental & urgent question, which is, 'What do we owe to future generations?'

A screenshot of a walking route from Leeds to Goole.

A (very) approximate route map of yesterday's walk from Leeds to Goole: forty miles, fifteen hours, four counties, two wrong turns, and one illegal fence, strung the width of the towpath, uprooted and destroyed.
