On #earthday, an image I took last week of the Vikos Gorge in northwestern Greece. Sculpted over millions of years by the Voidomatis River, the chamois I startled flowed like a river too, rippling across scree with electric energy: a current, a course, a torrent. So at home in the skyrise heights.

There are few pictures of underarm (lob) bowling ... this is Geoffrey Kevill-Davies bowling to Ian Akers-Douglas in the nets at Eton in May 1928. Looking on is Eton coach George Hirst. Kevill-Davies never played for the Eton XI. Akers-Douglas played 60 first-class matches, mainly for Kent

Great photograph, great film.

Another lost outground ... the Private Banks ground at Catford was one of the best club grounds in the south and was used by Kent for Championship matches between 1892 and 1921 - the one pictured is v Gloucestershire in July 1905

How great is this? youtu.be/r_Z3JL42L5Q?...

An amazing award-winning photograph by Darren Pateman as players in a 3rd grade game at Cessnock on October 19th 2002 realise how close to them the fire has come. Pateman was on his way to photograph the fire when he spotted the match in progress. The game went on.

This week’s reading is from @alicehunt.bsky.social Absolutely superb on “Britain’s revolutionary decade.”

I think that Canterbury Cathedral epitomises Mies Van de Rohe's words: "Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space." The late 14th-century nave at Canterbury Cathedral 🕍 feels more organic than man-made to me 🌿—an utterly remarkable achievement of medieval craftsmanship ✨

A ramble around South Oxfordshire to end the year.

A fascinating conversation between @julianhoffman.bsky.social and Lucy Durneen about his book #Lifelines for Cambrige University. The story of people, pelicans, bears and borders in Northern Greece. It's a wonderful read!

I read this earlier in the year and I really recommend it. A terrific book from @drcricket.bsky.social #CricketSky
