A sad day- Brexit.
For a sustainable world
we need more cooperation, more dialogue, more bridges.
No less.

In Ault we see the French counterpart of the British “Seven Sisters”. Nearly 500,000 years ago England and Europe were linked by a land bridge made up of chalk cliffs that we still see today in northern France and southern England. But over the millennia the land bridge eroded and finally the two were separated. That was the first Brexit.
I took a taxi ride today, taxi drivers always manage to hit the nail on the head don't they? This one was Polish by birth but had been living in Denmark for 32 years (I'm in Copenhagen). Oh how he laughed at the British predicament! "Ze trubble makers have all run away" he cackled!
A favourite piece from Upfest in Bristol last weekend, reflecting on the stupidity going on in Britain at the moment- pray for us Flickr!

The Statement in the Frame is somehow proper for my photographic Work, but in Connection with UK and the BREXIT also quite interesting.
I saw this nice Combination in the BMW World, Munich, Germany.

In the year Brexit happened (2016) we were on holiday in Scotland, at The Rhinns.
The Rhins or Rhinns of Galloway are in the most South Western corner of Scotland, part of Dumfries & Galloway in the district of Wigtownshire. The name Rhins comes from the Gaelic Na Rannaibh, meaning 'points' or 'headlands'.

One day we went to the most norderly viewpoint, with Corsewall Lighthouse, now a Hotel, and saw these two ferries (P&O and Stena Line) going to or from Ireland.
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
Window light from above and reflector light from below. Whether you want it, whether you deserve it, or whether you don't - you will get a "haircut". The aftermath of the pandemic and, for the UK additionally, of the Brexit nonsense, means that most of us will get a "shave", financially and possible socially too.
Because of Brexit and the replacement of patriotism with nationalism. Little islanders and little englanders now facing the "world". Thank you.
Another abandoned vehicle in a field in the Outer Hebrides (a friend suggested the title, which is probably only truly meaningful to anyone here in the UK who experienced the Brexit referendum).
For a blog of my trip to the Outer Hebrides:
Market day in St. Albans, Hertfordshire (St. Peter's Street with the St. Albans Museum and Gallery in the background). The County of Hertfordshire was never in favour of Brexit and the city of St. Albans is governed by the Liberal Democrats. The city has a long history of cross-Channel connections, and French, Belgian, Dutch and even Spanish traders used to offer their specialities on market day. That, unfortunately, has become more difficult now. But don't be surprised to see this iconic Citroen van, it really is the tradition. Fuji X100F.
The situation in the UK is hopeless, but not serious. Outdoors, reflector used and seen through the 7Artisans manual lens at F 1.2; edited in Luminar and macOS High Sierra.

Mitakon Speedmaster manual lens at F8, double exposure, one daylight LED lamp from below; edited in Fujifilm's raw converter and refined in Luminar. It is difficult not to be sarcastic about the political chaos in the UK. Neither the voters of 2016, nor the Parliament, and certainly not the Government, have shown the necessary political maturity with regard to such a momentous decision as Brexit. I have been living in the UK for almost 30 years and I was aware of how class-ridden the UK society really is and that the furtive notion of 'English' identity was drifting somewhere between D-Day Normandy and the colonial seas. But what we have now is a profound and nation-wide collapse of the social and cultural consensus. It cannot be easily repaired, whatever the outcome of Brexit may be. The self-appointed Brexit Doctors in London are at each others' throat. What about the patient?
