New Mill Yard Disused Pumping Station - now closed for some 25 years.\New Mills Yard Norwich. tinyurl.com/4kt5386y and tinyurl.com/2s3fjezwThe building is a disused pumping station - Victorian - but oddly without all the lovely ornamentation that such buildings generally have. I found it difficult to believe that it was built in 1897 - it is in such good repair. We were very fortunate to be allowed in to take photographs.

My thanks to the 2 gentlemen who let me have a look around the flying area before their morning session.
Hodge Close Rainbow
A day that started off with a whole lot of rain and ended up with a good bit of sunshine. I went for a wander through the lakes looking for that transition from rain, clouds to sunshine and for some reason ended up at Hodge Close, a place I've never been to before.
Its not the greatest image in the world, its not up there with all the other well known images from this location from well known photographers, but what the hell, its a photograph.

Contrary to rumour, very few fungi are fatally poisonous. About 2% might give you funny dreams or an upset stomach but few kill. The destroying angel is an exception - it is as poisonous and acts similarly to the death cap. I have always wanted to see one but mercifully they are quite rare. So today was a real highlight - my first ever Amanita virosa.
This little piece of abstract weirdness was inspired by some pretty little solar garden lights and created by manually (un)focussing before slamming the contrast in Affinity Photo.
My friend is up a ladder helping me mark out fixings for new patio door blinds. I noticed this rose, in just the right light and unblemished. "Hang on mate" I said. "There's something I need to do. Won't be a moment..."

I jest of course. The work was completed first and then I grabbed the camera. Mrs. Harvey runs a tight ship...!
Our garden, May 2025.
Ladies in waiting - Epping Forest - the bucks are starting to arrive and the does are very nervous. Dama dama
What a year - today's highlight golden scalycap newly emerged in Epping Forest. Pholiota aurivella - alternative suggestions welcome.
Light rays breaking through the clouds shorty after sunrise on the Cornish coast. After leaving the beach at sunrise turned around to see this before getting to the car. Lesson always stay longer than you planned.
La Gomera and its laurel forest - the Canary Islands are not noticeably wet but the laurel forest on La Gomera is fed by clouds rising up from the cold Atlantic Ocean. The forests are old and the mosses which coat the trees are usually saturated with water.
Took a walk along the clyde walkway in Renfrew last night As the sun was starting to set behind me the sky in front of me was going these amazing colours. The Titan crane and Clydebank leisure centre reflecting in the river Clyde
Across the lake at Stourhead. I loved how the sun was catching the cascade of yellowy green branches on this majestic old tree on the island. A very Autumnal scene
