Strange scenario I found at the Turning Torso skyscraper in Malmo/Sweden. Not sure what the idea of that eye in the wall is but let's just assume it means positively that your bikes are safe there ... ;)

I'm living in a world where lies are more readily believed than the truth, where hate spreads faster than love and where greed is more important than life. I'd rather live in a virtual reality than the dystopia we have right now.

First in a series of three.

Flickr removing the 'You/People' drop down option to view uploads from people you follow is a major step backwards in my opinion. It took me ages to find the new 'Activity Feed' as there is no menu option and no icon for the link. You have to click on the Flickr Home icon to get there which is not immediately obvious. Yet again I find myself leaving my disgust with pointless changes on the Flickr Help Forum, for what it's worth.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You have to click on the Flickr Home icon TWICE to update the 'Activity Feed'. This is ridiculous.

I predominantly use Flickr on PC and these changes just keep making it a pain to use that way. They appear to be favouring mobile devices over PC users and increasing the workload just to do simple tasks for those using a keyboard and mouse.

Change is not always good.

Previously unpublished shot from March 2020. The title is unashamedly taken from the title of an awesome Ultravox post-punk song from 1981. On editing I did notice two haunting wailing faces in her knees and now I cannot un-see them, I urge you not to look!

Street photography from Glasgow, Scotland, captured on International Women's Day in 2025.

If you wonder why we need an International Women's Day, or if you wonder why there isn't an International Men's Day, or if you scoff at internationally recognised days of awareness then you are why these days are needed.

It should shame us all that we still need a day of visibility for women in 2026 because we do not live in a gender equal world.

International Women's Day has been around for 115 years. Calling for a world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable and inclusive. A world of gender equality where difference is valued and celebrated.

Remember, it is only those with privilege that fear equity and equality.

I miss buttons, knobs, sliders, switches and dials. Real physical haptics and not artificial haptic feedback.

Touchscreens can be useful and are incredible for some things but the trend to replace all tactile buttons and switches with a flat featureless piece of plastic or glass feels like technology just for the sake of it.

Touchscreens should never be used in cars for any function that you might need to use while in motion. Forcing people to take their eyes off the road to use the heater controls, or turn on a radio, is absolute insanity in design.

Thank you all for your comments, favourites and support for my street photography. Take care.

Smartphones have their uses, certainly, but the combination of our devices and addictive social media algorithms, they appear to have taken over our lives rather than being a tool to enrich them.

I miss the Internet from before.

I hope that you are all having a great weekend my Flickr friends. Take care and take photos.

I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend my Flickr friends.

I prioritised a trip into Glasgow last week over setting up my replacement PC as I just needed to see some real human faces. I'm still recovering but with the coming week looking unpredictably showery, it should afford me the opportunity to get my PC set up and to start to tackle the backlog of new photos. All being well and with all fingers crossed!

Stay safe and keep the shutters clicking.

Previously unpublished shot captured in February 2018. I often not only wondered how you can walk around without looking but, more so, why you would want to. So much life being missed in person for the living of life through a tiny screen. Wishing you all a great weekend of photography - stay safe!

I made the mistake of reading the news this morning. An Internet meme from the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, came to mind. "Ah shit, here we go again!"

The self-proclaimed "president of peace" has bombed more countries than any other president and now attacked two sovereign nations with the expressed purpose of regime change.

The history of the United States of America interfering in foreign regime change is not exactly a good one. The risk of creating another power vacuum for extremist groups to rise up again, as happened in the aftermath of the US war against Iraq, is incredibly high.

From the speech that the "president of peace" made, it sounds like he expects the people of Iran to rise up and take power and that he has no plan to prevent a power vacuum from occurring. I hope that I am wrong. The people of Iran of endured enough suffering already!

Hope... that's all that I have left.

Coming to you from the new replacement PC which, so far, appears to be behaving itself.

I am taking it slow setting it up to my liking though. My limit for coping with change/issues is very tiny with my CPTSD. Slow and steady, I hope, will win the race though!

I hope that you are all having a great week my dear Flickr friends. Take care.

Doom scrolling perhaps - which is so much easier to do when almost everything going on is doom-worthy. Honestly... what a world we are in! January has been a long year so far!

Out of frame is a 'flash mob' choir but I was more taken by just how many people were not content with experiencing the event as it was, in person, but rather through their screens.

A modern version of a periscope to get a better view, a recording for prosperity or are we just so addicted to our screens that we cannot experience life without them?

Now, as if it wasn't bad enough that screens have enveloped our lives, AI images, videos and music are starting to swallow our enjoyment of real human art and artistry.

We have the technology to set ourselves free and yet we create technology to further enslave us. We are a paradox.
