We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography.

The Chairperson of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, JMEC says the greatest challenge facing the implementation of the peace agreement is inclusivity.
Speaking at the opening of a JMEC plenary meeting in Juba on 8 February 17, Festus Mogae said factions within the SPLM in opposition and inadequate representation of opposing voices in the peace process had undermined progress in the establishment of key institutions and mechanisms provided for in the peace agreement.
The JMEC chairperson also condemned continued fighting and reports of revenge killings, sexual violence and human rights abuses in parts of the country. Mogae said recent fighting around Malakal and in Renk of Upper Nile constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement and said ceasefire monitors have opened investigations into the attacks.
Mogae also urged the swift deployment of the 4-thousand strong Regional Protection Force as approved by the UN Security Council to bolster security in Juba and its surrounding areas.

A return visit to the American Museum and Gardens near Bath in Somerset.
They have developed the gardens since our last visit here.
The American Museum and Gardens (formerly American Museum in Britain) is a museum of American art and culture based at Claverton, near Bath, England. Its world-renowned collections of American furniture, quilts and folk art are displayed in a Grade I listed 19th-century house, surrounded by gardens overlooking the valley of the River Avon.
The grounds of the museum are set within the wider landscape of the valley of the River Avon and has fine views over the valley towards the village of Limpley Stoke and the Kennet and Avon Canal. Garden features include a small grotto with a water spout.
The museum gardens include extensive renovated areas representing trends in both English landscape and American garden design. The American Museum originally employed Lanning Roper to design a mixed border, but since the museum opened in 1961, the 30 acres around the house have been developed to include a replica of George Washington’s garden at Mount Vernon, as well as a Lewis and Clark trail, and an arboretum that includes a collection of American trees.
The Mount Vernon Garden, which is a re-creation of a part of George Washington's garden at Mount Vernon, is situated away from the house on the site of a former Italianate garden and was opened on June 26, 1962. In 2018 the Mount Vernon Garden was restored to replicate more closely the original layout implemented by George Washington.
With the addition of the New American Garden, officially opened on September 15, 2018, as part of a £2 million project to renovate the lawn and herb gardens immediately adjacent to the manor house, the museum grounds now boast the largest collection of American horticultural features in the United Kingdom. This project was the first European commission for the American landscape architects based in Washington D.C., Oehme van Sweden (OvS). The planting in the New American Garden follows the free-form style made famous by the firm's founders, Wolfgang Oehme and James van Sweden. Native American shrubs, perennials, and bulbs feature heavily, but the garden is designed to work with the steep terrain and enhance the view over the Limpley Stoke Valley, which is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The new garden path, known as The Winding Way, is a fully accessible pathway encircling the lawns and American Rose Collection, as well as the natural amphitheatre, which has become the museum's outdoor theatre and events space.
It has been over 13 years since I last went to the American Museum, this time I got photos inside of Claverton Manor.
path to the car park - on first arriving I noticed the grass was long with wild flowers, took this at the end of this visit, before we went into Bath.

Um novo conceito de solução ambiental para o controle de erosões e de contenção de áreas degradadas foi implementado no município na terça-feira (21/5), com a execução do Projeto Trama Verde em uma área de talude, de aproximadamente dois mil metros quadrados, no Morro dos Cabritos, na Ressaca, onde, em 2020, ocorreram deslizamentos de terra e soterramentos de casas.
A área, considerada de risco, recebeu diversas intervenções cujo objetivo é proteger o solo e aumentar a vegetação. No local, técnicos da Defesa Civil e de outras secretarias trabalharam, por cerca de duas semanas, para formatar e concretizar o projeto, que servirá de modelo para outras localidades. Primeiro, foram feitas a roçada e a limpeza de todo o terreno pela equipe da Secretaria de Obras e Manutenção Urbana.
Em seguida, foram instaladas as chamadas “paliçadas” em pontos do talude onde há marcas de erosão. As paliçadas, cuja função é barrar detritos e reduzir os desgastes do solo, foram feitas com madeira provenientes de podas de árvores, isto é, a partir de material biodegradável disponibilizado pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade.
E, por fim, foi feita a revegetação da área por meio do plantio de mudas de diversas espécies, que vão desde árvores frutíferas a até medicinais. O plantio de 80 mudas ocorreu na terça-feira (21/5) e, no decorrer da semana, serão plantadas mais 120. Sementes também estão sendo depositadas no solo com o objetivo de fortalecê-lo.
As mudas e sementes adquiridas pelo projeto foram doadas pela Secretaria de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade, pelo Centro Municipal de Agricultura Urbana e Familiar - CMAUF e por entidades que prezam pela utilização de técnicas voltadas à bioengenharia, como a empresa Deflor que destinou ao projeto materiais, como biomanta, adubo, sementes e mudas de Capim Vertiver.
“A ideia é apresentar ao município um novo método de estruturação do solo e controle de erosões, que não seja apenas o de impermeabilização do solo (concretagem). Nossa intenção é aumentar a cobertura vegetal e a biodiversidade, e não reduzi-las. Além disso, estamos doando este espaço para moradores do entorno para que eles cuidem e plantem o que desejarem. A ideia é recuperar, retomar a vida e o uso desta área”, explicou a subsecretária de Proteção e Defesa Civil, Ângela Gomes, que participou da elaboração e execução do projeto.
Moradores do entorno também se prontificaram a ajudar na ação. Eles não só plantaram como também aprovaram a iniciativa. Um deles, a dona de casa Patrícia Aparecida da Cunha disse que ficou feliz em saber que o local seria revegetado. “Foi gratificante ver esta ação acontecendo hoje. Espero que meus netos e bisnetos vejam esse espaço florido e cheio de frutos”, celebrou.
Para o aposentado João Ribeiro, que mora na região há 40 anos, a expectativa é por dias melhores. “Vivemos um sofrimento muito grande em 2020, muitas casas aqui ficaram soterradas. Agora, estamos vendo esse mutirão. Estamos satisfeitos, podem contar conosco para ajudar a conservar”, disse o morador.
A subsecretária de Governo de Contagem, Sônia Regina Oliveira, também participou do plantio. De acordo com ela, nem sempre a solução passará pelo concreto e cimento. “Há alternativas sustentáveis e possíveis economicamente. Mas, de fato, o que realmente resolve é a inteligência e a ação humana. De nada adiantará implementarmos tudo isso, se a comunidade não abraçar e ajudar a preservar. É necessário o envolvimento de todos para que possamos fazer deste local um modelo, um exemplo para as oito regiões da cidade”, destacou.
Assim como Sônia, a secretária de Defesa Social, Viviane França, acredita na importância da participação dos moradores para o sucesso de qualquer iniciativa. “Defesa civil e prevenção se faz com as pessoas, envolvendo todo o território. Somente dessa forma conseguiremos avançar e evitar a ocorrência de novos desastres ambientais”, salientou a secretária, agradecendo o empenho de todos na implementação do Projeto Trama Verde.
