The Greenwich foot tunnel is one of two that the Victorians built for foot traffic under the Thames in London. They have always for me been damp mysterious places with a slight air of doom about them. The long exposure turning those using the tunnel into ghostly figures.

The Foot was originally a parody of The Hand ninja clan from Marvel comics. While they were regular humans in the comic the cartoon changed them to ninja clad robots to cut down on the violence. My fondest memories of them though are battling the multicolored masses of Foot Soldiers in the TMNT Arcade Game.
"Ahhh! Shell Shock!"
This woman has very strong, wide feet.
For sure, this true barefooter woman can walk barefoot on any ground she wants with ease. So, her super tough, resilient feet are making efficient use of virtually any ground, virtually anything underfoot for intense, manifold, strengthening reflexology - which also includes the whole arches, as nature intended and as it's implied here.
As also the footmarks down right show to us, barefooters here are used to walk right through the smaller cow dung dollops or through the fringes of the bigger ones. This is comfortable and beneficial for heavily used barefooter soles, especially on mostly dry, hard and stony ground.
Boothbay, Lincoln County, Maine.
The textures of the weathered timber under the walkway on the bridge just called out to me, causing a quick pointing of the Trusty Nikon and my workhorse Sigma 24-105.
Following on from my decade long project in which I used a different film camera each week, 522 in total, I have relaxed the pace and set myself a monthly camera project each year. My dad was born 100 years ago in 1924, he collected old cameras and died age 91 in 2015. In this centenary year I've decided to use one of his favourite cameras each month. January's camera is the Zeiss Ikon Contarex “Bullseye”. It's a big heavy camera, and is arguably over-engineered. The exposure meter no longer works, and as I discovered, the film advance is not reliable, with overlapping frames in the second half of the film. The film is Rollei Retro 400s, developed in Rodinal 1:50 for 18 minutes at 22 degrees.
This is another photo I took while working for Sears. Mr. Martinez kissing his wifes foot. He was so cool with it.
During the 1930s, the Forest was planted and tracks were built by unemployed men supplied through the Ministry of Labour. Most came from the mining communities and shipyards of the North East of England. They were housed in one of a number of Instructional Centres created by the Ministry.

Big Foot Pass Presbyterian at 1880 Town Murdo, SD built 1920s was named for Big Foot Pass where the church used to reside until it was moved in Oct 1992. In the 1920s this tiny little church thrived at the foothills of the Badlands with up to 125 members. Drought caused many to leave this area and eventually the church was closed, so it stood empty and alone for many years until the Hullinger family rescued this little church and brought to the edge of their 1880 Town Big Foot road where this church originally resided was named for Chief Big Foot of the Mineconjou band of Lakota Indians.
Today I received good, progressive news on the treatment of my foot. The skin graft from last week Tuesday has begun closing the wound. The swelling has diminished, so today, another skin graft was applied, and this 'work of art' cast was applied to support the ankle and immobilize the foot. It is set at a 90 degree angle, which makes walking difficult, but it does support the foot. I still use the 'scooter' (pictured) as a quicker means of transport.
This cast will be worn for one week, and next week we make inspection of the wound and assess further treatment.
In the meantime, I will enjoy the 'racing stripes' on this cast. (It is not like an orthopedic cast for broken bones, but stiff enough to keep things stable.)

A rather bizarre sign from the time of the foot and mouth disease. I'm not sure what the TL is (or was) but it seemed to be "down" at the time.
I don't really remember much about what happened when the disease was at its worst but I recall that we were driving across the moorland near Pickering in Yorkshire and going through some kind of wheel wash in the car. I'm sure it was bloody awful at the time, but not on the same scale as the current COVID pandemic which is affecting more than bacon butty sales.
Hmmmm...a disease AND an economic crisis. Now that sounds familiar.
