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

Not the greatest picture ,but it made me think it probably looked the same when dinosaurs roamed the earth , and man had not even thought about Brexit :)
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!
Brexit has not worked! It was a questionable idea in the first place and sold to the public under a false flag (that of rampant nationalism). However, it has nothing to do with us, the people and the nation, "taking back control". It always was about "deregulation", that is, about freeing the owners of capital from social controls and creating a workforce labouring for next to nothing. The damage has been done and it is visible everywhere. There are only two ways out of this: either "making Brexit work", which is the position of the Labour Party. This would include some form of reintegration of the UK into the European market and the legal acknowledgment of workers' and the unions' rights. The other would be the reversal of Brexit. This would mean another round of blood-letting, and I cannot see that there is currently any appetite for this the UK. So, all in all, my guess is that the UK will continue with this policy of self-harm. And the hope is that there are enough enlightened people trying to make the best out of a bad situation.

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.

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.
Because of Brexit and the replacement of patriotism with nationalism. Little islanders and little englanders now facing the "world". Thank you.
"you said at noon
that's what I remember,
so what happened to the place
and is that your bicycle
or what?"
Recently one of my friends made a joke, saying that I am The River Thames' personal photographer. Basically he was eluding to the fact that the vast majority of my snaps include the Thames... and upon further inspection by myself, I realised this is true! So, for a change here is a London Scene without the Thames. In view is St Mary Axe (or the Gerkin) and some London buses zooming by on their daily business of picking people up.
I went for sunset and happy I did. Although you can't see much of the sunset (at least not as much as you would near the river), the sky was a gentle orange and pink hue. It was a freezing evening. But happy I ventured out :)

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?
