Clean, affordable water belongs to all of us. I’ve told the new Environment Secretary to act on real evidence for public ownership and put people first. Join me:https://actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-emma-reynolds-to-base-water-policy-on-facts-not-water-industry-fake-maths?source=bluesky

Yes, hospital parking is free in Scotland - a civilised country. Why not sign this petition? 38d.gs/9voy

THE SIMPLE THREE-STEP PLAN OF FUHRER FARAGE: 1) Break our ties with Europe (know as Brexit) 2) Remove our human rights by withdrawing from the ECHR. 3) Falsely identify a common enemy (migrants) to increase your own wealth and power. Listen to Jamie Raskin www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform led Nottinghamshire Council has blacklisted a local paper for asking questions about what councillors were doing. Farage says he welcomes free speech, that should apply to freedom of the press too. Sign the petition to get them to reverse the decision: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/re...

Banks are making record profits while our bills go up! 😡 We need to tax bank profits and fund our NHS & schools. Sign the petition and tell Rachel Reeves to #TaxtheBanks you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Taking Back Control... I was always bemused by this slogan, finding it incomplete and somewhat crass. What would we take control of? And who would we give it to or trust with it? This reasoning informed my view on Brexit and time has proved its sense. Yet politicians keep quiet while we suffer.

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

Trump’s heading to Scotland this weekend and wants the next Open at his Turnberry course. I just told The R&A: DO NOT give it to him :x: Will you join me too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

Our privatised water system is broken - and water lobbyists have worked hard to shut down alternatives.In July the People’s Commission is launching a people-first vision for our water in Parliament.Your MP needs to hear about it: actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-...

Just added a new section to my Website for the latest work. This is one of the images, and the hyperlink to the site is: photodave.org/latest-work #photography #art #sunset #lancashire_life #outdoors #landscape #landscape_photography

A return to the historic ruins of Brock Mill, by the River Brock. The site is partly overgrown with some walls still standing in the lush green woodland surrounding it. #photography #landscape_photography #historic #architecture #lancashire #industry #industrial #woodland #nature #outdoor #history

I caught this older video on JimmyTheGiant's channel. youtube.com/watch?v=fWLn... giving an accurate summary of the Ponzi scheme called neoliberalism. I'm not inclined to hatred but Thatcher was an exception because of the damage she caused. Yet when compared with the fascistic Trump and Farage...

Just watched @labourlewis.bsky.social's powerful speech on his Water Bill, raising the fundamental question that’s been ignored for too long: who should own our water? It’s time to bring water back into public hands. Watch the debate here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gIOTHnvxEI

Unbelievable. Rachel Reeves is thinking about cutting a tax on US tech giants to appease Trump and his band of billionaires. If anything we should be taxing them more - not less! Agree? Sign today: 38d.gs/techgiantsta...

On revisiting the site of the Fleetwood wrecks, it was disappointing to see a shopping trolley dumped at the edge of the harbour, conflicting with nautical history. #wrecks #maritime #marine #photography #fleetwood #landscape #lancashire #lancashire_life #photodave.org

Vocabulary is wonderful and is constantly evolving. Always great to learn something new, and now I know that the word "transactional" is code for corruption.

Never has the phrase about lunatics taking charge of the asylum been so apt. A felon becoming US president. Now in league with a dictator. His unelected general blackmailing a sovereign country for their minerals. A moron aspiring to king of the world. Trump craves stooges, he has no friends.

This image has been added to the Buildings... section of my website (at photodave.org/buildings-ol...). The juxtaposition captures the essence of old and new architecture. #photography #art #architecture #monochrome #mono #fine_art_photography #blackandwhite #fineart

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful. Join me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

Haven't decided whether this image will make the cut for my Website, which can access from my bio. The mist had cleared around the subject area and was consigned to the distance, leaving these vibrant colours. #landscape #photography #stream #scenic_views #mico-landscape #nature #outdoors

The inversion that helped the fog and mist to stick around, late in December, made a great subject for local photography. #photography #woodland #outdoors #winter #nature #forest #fog #mist #seasons

A series of Blackpool would not be complete without a pier. This is Blackpool's North Pier at low tide on a pleasant morning #pier #seaside #blackpool #photography #landscape_photography #lancashire #beach #england

My tribute to Blackpool wouldn't be complete without an image from the illuminations. #blackpool #blackpool_illuminations #NightPhotography #after_dark #photography #lancashire #LancashireLife

The third of my images in praise of Blackpool. This sunset graced the resort before the famous Blackpool Illuminations came alive. #photography #sunset #beach #art #landscape_photography #blackpool

My second image in praise of Blackpool. The international fireworks display happen annually, #photography #art #blackpool #night #fireworks

Blackpool often gets bad press. In my humble attempt to disabuse the doubters, I'll be posting a few images to show some of its magic. Here is the first, captured after the "bandage" was removed from the tower after a few years of restoration. You can see more images on my website photodave.org

The fog from a cloud inversion a few days after Christmas gave the opportunity for local photography. Personally I find this tree majestic, in its winter form emphasising its shape. You can find more images on my Website photodave.org

That it! No more of Meta products for me. No more of Instagram, as I share photos through my Website. The photo below was part of a series on Pendle Hill, published in an article in On Landscape and available on my Website. www.onlandscape.co.uk/2024/12/pend... and photodave.org/pendle-hill
