Nous avons navigué sur cette "goélette" comme on dit en Polynésie (bateau-cargo, pouvant emporter un nombre réduit de passagers), de Papeete (Tahiti) à Bora-Bora, avec escale au petit matin à Taha'a.
We sailed on this "goélette", (schooner) as they say in Polynesia, (cargo boat, which can carry a reduced number of passengers), from Papeete (Tahiti) to Bora-Bora, with stopover in the early morning in Taha'a.

It was 25 years ago today that me and Mel Jobling got up very early for the drive down to Onllwyn Washery in the South Wales Valleys however we nearly baled out as the weather was horrendous with driving rain lashing the windscreen all the way down but not long after we set out we put the radio on expecting a bit of Radio1 or Radio2 but all we got was mournful marching music and we were wondering what's going on not realising until later that the Princess of Wales had died in a car crash! Like the patriots that we are we carried on and embarrassingly enjoyed the FTP photo charter that took place and even the sun came out eventually. 31 August 1997.
Covid : un nouveau variant sud-africain inquiète l’Europe
www.radio1.pf/covid-un-nouveau-variant-sud-africain-inqui...
L’apparition d’un nouveau variant du Covid-19 en Afrique du sud inquiète. Vendredi, le gouvernement français a annoncé la suspension immédiate des arrivées en provenance d’Afrique australe. Si pour l’heure les données le concernant ne sont pas suffisantes, le risque est qu’il soit beaucoup plus transmissible que le variant Delta.
La France a annoncé suspendre immédiatement les arrivées en provenance de sept pays d’Afrique australe, dont l’Afrique du Sud, en raison de « la découverte d’un nouveau variant du coronavirus particulièrement préoccupant ». En déplacement à Brest, le ministre de la Santé Olivier Véran a indiqué que ce nouveau variant sud-africain « n’a pas été diagnostiqué en Europe à date ». « Et nous ne voulons pas être amenés à (le) diagnostiquer sur le territoire national et européen, ne serait-ce tant qu’on n’en sait pas plus sur sa dangerosité », a-t-il souligné. Et pour cause, les premières données scientifiques dont on dispose ne sont pas rassurantes.

Tentoonstelling 'Late Rembrandt', te zien van 12 februari tot en met 17 mei. Mijn reportage voor Nooit Meer Slapen is hier te beluisteren: www.radio1.nl/item/267256-De%20late%20Rembrandt.html
Press L to view on black. Dun Briste, or the broken fort, is a well known sea stack off Downpatrick Head in Co. Mayo. Amazingly, it was connected to the adjacent land in medieval times as was proven when the well known Mayo archaeologist Dr. Seamus Caulfield visited it in 1981 by helicopter for an RTE1 documentary and found the remains of buildings.
Given its reputation, it has been well photographed. e.g. Peter Cox’s impressive black and white sea level shots here and here, as well as a wide variety of shots on Flickr as I knew when I stopped off in August 2010. I was not very hopeful that I could get anything of interest in the middle of the day with limited time but once I got to the Head on a very blustery, showery day, I thought a wide angle shot with my Canon 10-22 lens (reviews here, here, here & here ) might be worthwhile because it would show the stack in context - a shot that I had not seen online. The near gale coming over the cliff top meant the tripod was pointless, so it was a matter of crawling around to try to get everything in the frame at 11mm, keep the lens clear of rain and spray, estimate the hyperfocal distance . . . oh and try not to fall over the edge! After all this, I felt the result (below) didn’t do justice to the scene and it was not helped by the slight softness of the stack itself. Perhaps with all the messing around, I focused just too close to achieve hyperfocus, which I knew from previous experience was about two meters at f11. However at these close distances, the depth of field calculator indicates that it is quite sensitive to inputs such as print size and viewing distance (and presumably to viewing at 100%), so it seems care is needed.
Fortunately, before I put on the wide-angle lens, I took a few shots of the stack itself even though I felt these would lack originality. However, when I saw these on the screen, the stack seemed give the impression of colossal rocky blade shearing through the waves – with the sharpness of my 17-55 lens (reviews here , here & here ) at 24mm and f8 contributing to this in no small measure. Editing consisted of a 23% crop (by area) from the left and bottom edges to make the stack even more dominant in the frame (the original shot is below), followed by exposure, tone and vibrance changes mainly to bring out the orange colours of the lichens and to lighten the darkest areas a little. I also cloned out a distracting flying bird and finished by sharpening with some masking of the smooth areas. It just goes to show that sometimes the snapshot works better than the planned shot – f8 and be there!
During their set I just had to lower the lens for a bit and soak it in. I totally idolise this guy, it's embarassing.

St Andrew, Great Finborough, Suffolk
When the moment comes and the gathering stands
and the clock turns back to reflect
On the years of grace as those footsteps trace
for the last time out of the act
Well this way of life's recollection,
the hallowed strip in the haze
The fabled men and the noonday sun
are much more than just yarns of their days.
When an old cricketer leaves the crease,
you never know whether he's gone
If sometimes you're catching a fleeting glimpse
of a twelfth man at silly mid-on.
And it could be Geoff and it could be John
with a new ball sting in his tail
And it could be me and it could be thee
and it could be the sting in the ale...
- Roy Harper, When an old cricketer leaves the crease, 1975
The grave of John Peel, photographed in early spring sunshine in 2013. This memorial has aged somewhat since I photographed it the day after its erection in January 2008. An excerpt from what I wrote at the time:
I wandered around to the west side of the tower, and looked out across the valley to Buxhall. There are number of 19th century gravestones here, and one modern one. This is to the radio presenter John Peel, who lived in Great Finborough, and died of a heart attack while on holiday in Peru in 2004. For someone of my generation, a teenager at the end of the 1970s, Peel assumed almost a Messiah status. He was like a touchstone for the emerging alternative culture, at a time when it was simply very difficult to hear any music which was not part of the bland mainstream.
Listening to his late night show on Radio One, we heard the exciting punk and new wave bands for the first time, and were introduced to the reggae, folk and electronic music that would otherwise have passed us by. But more than that, we made a connection, and were rescued because of it. To listen to Peel playing music was to hear him discovering it for himself; a clever trick perhaps, but it meant something to a fifteen year old. He was the still point of a turning world which would have been quite different without him. He was a catalyst.
Part of the rock culture of the late seventies was the enthusiasm with which young people, although often unable to play a note, would form bands and try to release records. By the early 1980s, his role as the mediator for the left field of popular music was being taken on by others away at Radio One and elsewhere, but still he was the first port of call for these undiscovered bands. I remember talking to him once at a show he did in Sheffield, when I was working for the student newspaper. We chatted about the emerging scene in the city. He showed me a box which was full of cassette tapes. "See these?" he said. "These are just the ones I've been given since I got to Sheffield this morning."
I can't honestly say I listened to him much after about 1990, and I only ever heard his Radio 4 programme once or twice (what was it called?) but by then his work was done. No doubt the tapes and CDs kept coming.
The irony is that Teenage Kicks has eclipsed all the other records he championed and spoke so highly of. He would always play Roy Harper's When An old Cricketer Leaves the Crease as his last record of each year, would always play everything that June Tabor recorded, and was almost single-handedly responsible for bringing the likes of Marc Bolan, Siouxie and the Banshees, Jesus and Mary Chain, Half Man Half Biscuit etc., to a national audience.
His grave now is a mound of flowers, some of them recent. I bent down to read a few of the messages, and saw that, among them, some hopeful band had left him a home-produced CD. Even in death, he can't escape. This made me smile.
After I moved to Suffolk, I met him a couple of times at parties. We had friends in common. I found him difficult to talk to. He didn't suffer fools gladly, and perhaps he thought I was one, for he presented me with a rather cynical, jaded face. But thirty years ago, his voice spoke to me as none other did, nor has since.
