"This thing about looking for someone less different... It only really worked, he realized, if you were convinced that being you wasn't so bad in the first place."
Nick Hornby- About a Boy
Instead of thinking "being me isn't so bad" I'm thinking that I don't deserve anything better.
True story.
Lake Elementaita is a shallow a soda lake located on the floor of Kenya's Great Rift Valley at an altitude of 1,776 meters, 20 km southeast of the city of Nakuru. Its surface area is 18 square kilometers, although the water level fluctuates. Its deepest point is 1.9 meters; much of the lake is less than one meter deep. 450 bird species can be found here; it is an important stop for migratory birds. The lake is designated as Ramsar Site and as Important Bird Area (IBA). Lake Elementaita Wildlife Sanctuary encompasses the whole of Lake Elementaita and its riparian land; it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Kenya Lake System in 2011.
The Soysambu Conservancy includes much of Lake Elementaita and borders Lake Nakuru National Park to the west. It covers 190 square km (48,000 acres). It was created on he grounds of Soysambu Ranch in 2007 to conserve the flora, fauna, and scenery of the Soysambu Ranch; it offers a home to over 450 bird species and 50 mammal species, including the critically endangered Rothschild (or Nubian) giraffe. The land of the ranch was appropriated by Hugh Cholmondeley, 3rd Baron Delamere, in 1906. The ranch still is owned and operated by the Delamere family.

You might not notice it, but this is above the Atlantic. I left the engine in the photo on purpose to fill an otherwise empty foreground and bottom left corner.
Russ and Robert drive down for a weekend visit. We hang out. We drink beer. We watch Nausica (Hayao Miyazaki) and Mulholland Drive (David Lynch). The oatmeal stout is as good as they say; I prefer the Belgian white ale.
The east end of the choir preserves much of its original stained glass, believed to have been installed c1340. The two easternmost clerestorey windows on the north and south sides respectively are more or less complete and contain an array of sainted figures beneath rich canopies.They are less well known than the more famous east window but are important survivals in their own right.
Wells Cathedral is a magical place to me, having cast a spell over me from the very first time I laid eyes on it as a seven-year old when it started to be a regular break on our journeys south west for childhood holidays. Although it wasn't the first cathedral I'd encountered it was the first I'd seen after developing a more conscious interest in church art and architecture and it seemed to me like something from another world (which in many ways it is). I never forgot the impression it made, its beauties inside and out, and having not visited for nearly three decades I decided getting reacquainted was long overdue.
Described as England's 'Queen amongst cathedrals' it is not as huge as some but it is as beautiful as any, and its setting within the enclosure of a charming cathedral close that constitutes a large part of this modestly-sized but picturesque cathedral-city just adds to its qualities. Its three towers beckon the visitor through the turreted gates that connect the close to the market place and to walk through these and behold the west facade for the first time is an unforgettable experience. The central tower is a beautiful example of Somerset's pinnacled late Gothic masterpieces, and yet it almost disappears, practically forgotten, when one encounters the rich display between the two western towers with their curiously flat parapets. These towers are also mainly 15th century work, but below them, and built two centuries earlier, the facade unfolds like a huge screen covered with niches, most of which remarkably retain their original statues, the largest display of medieval sculpture surviving in England.
Currently visitors are directed to enter via the cloisters on the south side rather than through the surprisingly small, almost apologetic doorways burrowed through the base of this astonishing facade, so it is important to spend some time absorbing it before entering the building. Once inside the effect is rather calmer than the riot of ornamentation on the west front, and the scale a little more intimate and inviting than many cathedral interiors. Most of it is early 13th century and harmonious in style, but it is a later addition that draws the eye looking down the nave, the unique 'scissor arches' installed to brace the crossing in order to stabilise the central tower following signs of movement. The transepts beyond are of the same date and design as the nave, whilst further east the more ornate choir is a little later, being completed in the early 14th century. Beyond this the retrochoir and polygonal Lady Chapel with their delicate pillars and vaults form one of the most delightful and visually satisfying of English medieval interiors.
Furnishings and features of interest are plentiful as one explores the church admiring the beauty of its architecture, with much medieval glass surviving at the east end, the east window and the adjoining clerestories having survived almost intact (more survives in the choir aisles and lady chapel though aside from the traceries most is in a fragmentary state). Many medieval bishops effigies are to be seen (many forming a posthumous 13th century commemoration of earlier Saxon bishops) along with three chantry chapels. In the north transept is the famous medieval astronomical clock with its painted dials and jousting knights marking the quarter hours.
One of the most exquisite features is the chapter house also on the north side, approached via a delightfully timeworn staircase and covered by a particularly attractive vaulted ceiling. It is one of the highlights of the building and shouldn't be missed. The cloisters on the south side are also a delight to wander through and were one of the last major additions to the cathedral.
Wells Cathedral is without a doubt one of the country's greatest treasures and in my mind one of the most beautiful churches anywhere and even its surroundings are a joy to explore. It is sad to think of it closed at present owing to the current lockdown, it deserves to be visited and enjoyed again by all once the present crisis is over.

Less light than anyone using ASA 64 slide film has any right to expect to result in a photograph. I held the camera down on the table, with the shutter speed set to bulb, then held the shutter open for what I felt was an appropriate amount of time.
Less than a minute after a plane passes by, the condensates in its contrails fountain up to mix with the surrounding air. Textbook case of Rayleigh-Taylor, though I suppose vortex shedding by the plane also contributes to the structure, or at least to the rapidity of the process.
Less than 1% of Antarctica is available for colonisation by plants. Only two flowering plants are found on the entire continent, which occur on the western Antarctic peninsular - the Antarctic hair grass, Deschampsia Antarctica (pictured) and the Antarctic pearlwort (Colobanthus quitensis).
