Hmmm, Pebbles is getting away with ever more these days! I hope the inevitable outcome of drinking a lot continues to occur in the right place

Always wondered about this chimney

Favourite watering bath

A quick snap at a pop-up advice shop in Storrington Library car park. These labels caught my eye, and I thought of the feelings of loss when I read a few.

Asked permission to photograph, as it felt necessary.

Treasure Hunt 44: Label

Poetry book published by the charity I work for, every poem has one of my photographs and I submitted some poems too that were accepted - been an amazing project

Amazing to feel the sun and wind on my face !

A brief glimpse of sunshine on a rainy day. My metal birdy was enjoying the rays...

The calm before the storms of this week which are still blowing up the river !

Was seriously doubtful I could get in the wee ferry, but I did and even made it back home

We seem to be having a period of biblical rain ! So this appearance of the sun was very welcome.

This day was mostly spent researching a planned Photowalk in Horsham.

The Other, 2024 Burning Man, Man Pavilion

Chosen as the 2024 Burning Man Pavilion, “The Other” by Jen Lewin invites participants into a whimsical journey of exploration and play. Featuring eight gracefully curved, canyon-shaped tentacles, this interactive installation offers stairways and ramps that lead to various vantage points. As you move through its sweeping pathways, you’ll experience the infinite possibilities of exploration, never quite reaching a destination but instead discovering the beauty of the spaces in between. Gaze outward to The Man and The City, or inward to connect with fellow explorers in this dynamic, ever-changing landscape.

The concept for The Other is deliberately crafted around eight distinct tentacles, each possessing its own independent perspectives: inwards, outwards, upwards, away, and towards. Rather than fixating on a singular ‘center,’ participants are encouraged to navigate, meander, and explore each area individually, fostering a sense of discovery that would be unattainable if they were interconnected. This concept prioritizes exploration.

For those inclined towards gathering, the design also utilizes negative space—the center, beneath the structure, remains open for congregation, featuring interconnected benches and seating. This aspect underscores the interplay between interior and exterior spaces. It’s about form, but equally about the spaces in between.

The Other was made possible by the amazing Man Build Crew, and their talented and incredible build team.

Lighting Design and light animation made possible by the amazing talent of @ Mark Slee.

Cruise ship dreams

The Treasure Hunt topic of Kaleidoscope reminded me that I had brought one home after sorting through Mum's things 5 years ago or so. Sure enough, it was still in the basket, but not easy to photograph! This was taken on the phone, as the aperture for seeing the patterns was less than 1cm across.

Treasure Hunt 42: Kaleidoscope

Stormy waters brought a lot of seaweed and jellyfish ashore today but no ferry!

As the minute I can’t do much more than watch the world pass or sail by my window - fingers crossed I get a new hip soon

The roof has now collapsed on the little barn that I photographed in August 2018, as predicted by several of you.

Forgot where I shot from before, not my finest.

Such a privilege to watch these birds, I learned today some of them are more than 60 years of age.

I love this delicate rhododendron on the north facing wall

And it begins

We picked up our van at last! She's called Lirael, those of you who read Garth Nix fantasy fiction will know who she is named after.

A few things need addressing, but we'd rather do them ourselves now.
