merci à Pierre d'avoir joué avec moi en posant pour cette photo.
Terrible weather to get thrown out from your semi-safe cave, high above the sea and Black Rock beach. But this guy had anchors to clip onto the fence to stop himself and his tent getting blown away in today's gale force winds.
the mercat de pere garau is not just a market. it is a beating heart in palma, pulsing with voices, spices, and the rhythm of daily life. opened in 1943, it has always been a meeting place of cultures—locals, immigrants, generations of traders. but at this moment, it is empty. the stalls are silent, the knives are still. only a single figure disappears into the light, leaving behind the echoes of a long day. tomorrow, the cycle begins again.
I've not managed to get to the pier to photograph the starlings at all this season. As they're expected to be gone by the end of March I made the time to get there this evening. They put on a magnificent performance.
The Brighton Eye
Brighton used to have a Brighton Eye the same as this one but it had to go when Brighton and Hove City Council agreed a deal with British Airways to build the i360 on the site of the old West Pier. The attraction cost £46 million, with £36 million being funded by a Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loan through B&H City Council.
Formerly known as the "Brighton i360", the project aimed to attract up to 800,000 paying customers every year. The owner of the site, the West Pier Trust, hoped in 2014 that a successful i360 would lead to the rebuilding of the historic West Pier.
In June 2018, disappointing visitor numbers forced the owners to ask B&H City Council and the LEP for better loan repayment terms. The local paper reported that "in the first full year, from August 2016, the i360 had just over 500,000 visitors, significantly fewer than the 800,000 predicted." The shortfall in visitors was blamed on “poor weather and the unreliable train service to and from London”.
The i360 made a loss of more than £5 million last year, the latest financial reports have revealed. B&H City Council are now owed almost £48 million as the attraction suffered another successive year in the red.
The squirrels in Pavilion Gardens were fearless today. I only had to point my camera at them and one would virtually be at the end of my nose. This little chaps claws look pretty scary to me.
a young woman leans against stone and time, lost in the softness of a book, while the silhouette of rebellion watches over her shoulder. a silent tension hangs in the frame—between icons and identities, between thought and gesture.
In this moment, we are not the focus. We are a part of a larger, silent landscape. This photo is an exercise in the "indirect gaze," a concept inspired by traditional Japanese art where human figures are humbled by the immense scale of nature. It invites us to be observers, not the center of the world. #Photography #IndirectGaze #Landscape #Sunset #SilentWitness #Minimalism #NatureIsBoss #VisualStorytelling

photo made last year but not yet published. it goes along well with my recent fairytale-like images.
Walking through the streets of St Augustine FL and it reminded me of all the street performers in New Orleans where I grew up - so much talent
Just walking up a small slope when I saw the busyness on the top of the hill with the blue backdrop.
This is not merely a statue — it is the stillness of truth made visible, a silence shaped by time, standing as a reminder of something far greater than the self.
The Buddha does not represent a god, but the profound stillness that lives within all beings — the stillness from which karma flows, guiding each moment with quiet, unfailing balance.
Inner peace is not something one can own. It is a state to return to, after all illusions of control have faded.
The universe does not bend to human will. Humanity moves within it. And at its heart lies not dominion, but harmony. Stillness. Grace.
Many seek meaning in noise and motion. But the truth waits in stillness — vast, enduring, and patient — reminding all that we are not here to conquer the universe,
but to remember how to belong to it.
Well worth the disrupted, wet and windy journey. The Albert Hall is magnificent.
Wikepedia:
The Royal Albert Hall is a concert hall on the northern edge of South Kensington, London. Completed in 1871 it is one of the UK's most treasured and distinctive buildings, it is held in trust for the nation and managed by a registered charity which receives no government funding. It can seat 5,272.
The Sussex undercliff section of England's Coastal Path runs through the marina and it has been closed through parts of February/March because of recent cliff falls. These guys abseiled up and down each section of the cliffs checking for any vulnerable areas before it can safely reopen.
Work in Progress
I thought this was going to be another planter for sea grasses and shrubs but it turns out it's going to be a crossing from Madeira Drive over the Volks Railway line to the beach.
A well known reply by Hove residents when asked if they live in Brighton is "Hove Actually" a humorous retort differentiating themselves from the louder renown "Brighton" side of the city.
This beach exhibition from Brighton and Hove Camera Club forms part of a wider initiative to bring uplifting, fun and positive photography to all, but especially to those who need it most.
They are hoping to get photographs from the exhibition displayed on walls of public-serving organisations, such as doctors surgeries, children's hospitals, nursing homes, mental health and well-being clinics and similar settings.
I think I discovered that my son must have been swapped at birth. He cannot be my son. We were walking on the beach when I found this wonderful skeleton with 2 big front teeth and then teeth both sides further back. My son told me not to touch it as it was a rat. I replied that whatever it had been it was now a fascinating skeleton. He was horrified by it 😮
An unusual band of spreading white clouds looming above threatening black clouds over the harbour this afternoon. I decided to educate myself but I got a bit lost in the words (below). Basically they were rather lovely.
Cirrus spissatus is a thickened variety of cirrus cloud which form high in the troposphere (at altitudes of around 20,000-26,000 ft). Whilst most cirriform clouds remain thin and wispy (due to the relative sparseness of moisture in the upper air), this variety is fuelled by the incoming moisture that arrives in advance of the frontal system and can sometimes grow to cover much of the sky. If it does so then get an umbrella because wet and stormy weather could be on the way!
A morning walk around Arlington Reservoir. There were sheep in the end field but the ground was too icy or muddy to get to them.
a bridge, lines fading into the sky. the silhouette of a person, just an outline, without a face, without a name. walking alone, wrapped in shadows and light, a wanderer between worlds. the city in the background blurs, unreal, as if it were just a memory. here, on this bridge, time doesnât exist, only the step into the unknown. the path is clear, the destination hidden.
I'm going to miss the dereliction, abandonment and vibrancy of Black Rock when/if it gets rejuvenated.
A sad end for the old iconic telephone boxes. I was looking at the gold crown on the top of this one and decided to Google it. Then I was left trying to work out if it was a K1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 (Kiosk 1 etc):
beneath the clinical grid of a city’s infrastructure, a man moves through shadow with the slow elegance of repetition. there’s no urgency — just the rhythm of necessity, carried in cardboard and plastic.
A striking close-up of a performer in a detailed steampunk-inspired monster costume at the Guggenmusik Festival. Rusted metal elements, intricate textures, and an expressive face bring this character to life in the vibrant atmosphere of the event.
Only fans and friends. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We started the day with an orange sunrise and ended with this stunning red sunset reflecting in the harbour.
High tide tonight was only 5’1 m so although it battered the boat and the water was pouring in it wasn’t enough to shift it off the rocks. I could be posting pre wreck photos for days/weeks to come. It’s very sad to watch.
This guy was too busy for me to interrupt and ask if I could take his photo but he did look at me just as I clicked.
a man steps into the light, his shadow stretching further than his thoughts. the lonja stands silent, its walls soaked in centuries, its doors heavy with time. outside, the world moves fast. inside, the air lingers, waiting for the last visitor to leave.
A low-angle glimpse into the rhythm of urban life. Taken from the ground level of Cologne’s Chlodwigplatz station — a quiet geometry hidden beneath the city’s surface.
