Low sun setting over a grass field with low grey and orange clouds and hills in the background. 
Bluesky fading to orange.

Despite a rogue fire alarm 'interval' and standing outside in a very cold York for half an hour while they checked the theatre wasn't burning down, this was amazing theatre.
And I now have a signed tea towel.
Happy days.
Thank you @markthomasinfo.bsky.social

A black and white photo taken at the top of concrete steps at the side of the River Thames. There is a very high tide. The river swells against the top of the steps, the step railings just visible. 
The top step is old and cracked. Cobbles are just visible at the bottom of the photo. 
On the left side is a wall of a building, graffiti just visible far left, and ivy growing on the brickwork. A small bush grows out of the old jetty on the right. 
The river is in the midground and in the background a distant view of buildings and tower blocks on the Isle of Dogs.

Photo of a field. In the foreground a barbed wire fence hidden by grasses. Great and yellow grass and crops with red poppies amongst them. Trees in the distance and a blue sky flecked with white clouds.

Just finished reading Lie of the Land. Stunning book. I'm reinvigorated to fight for our (big stress on the 'our' there) country and environment. Thank you Guy.

Back from a long weekend in Dumfries & Galloway with the best people.
Cairn Holy. 6000 year old burial site with a view across to Wigtown Bay. An incredibly special place.

Trees silhouetted against the sun that is shining through branches of the central trees. Some are coming into leaf,  some branches are still bare. The trees throw long shadows on the grass on the foreground and a pale blue sky is behind.

Some evening tree therapy after a day spent at the laptop. Gorgeous sun in Homestead Park, York UK.
