The Long Arm of the Paw. Mr Monkey at rest after a hard night's snoozing. #caturday #proofofcat

The Open University is for people who want to learn. AI is for people who don't even want to think.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

This view is heavenly - when the world seems a disaster, I journey back in body or in spirit 😍

Saturday mornings moment of calm. The barn owl , night watcher, graceful hunter, silent traveller. I could learn a few lessons from you about how to interact with the world today.

This picture (and its variations) haunted me in my teens and 20s. Make of that what you will 😉

Bowled over by the great nave of the Ship of the Fens, the extraordinary octagon central crossing, oodles of Norman blind arcading, and a couple of understandably weary stone heads. It's been c.45 years since I last visited, a lot for me, but as nothing to this magnificent beast of a building. #ely

Ah... so... how about...

Some of that cathedral Big Music here in Wells today 🎶 🔔

Morning sun reflecting off the snow on Cadair Idris

Goodbye 2025, hello 2026 😄

A Late Bicycle Ride. 3°C on the Wolds with a frost to come. Fieldfare.

Paid my end-of-year respects to my favourite beech tree (within walking distance of home).

Silbury Hill has a baby #StandingStoneSunday

A very rare sighting of one of the anaconda-beech tree chimaera of Cranborne Chase. Even the General (Pitt-Rivers) never set his eyes on one of these most elusive of creatures.

Happy 25th to everyone from a chilly hilltop in west Wiltshire: 2°C and falling!

Was a lovely pre sun rise

Happy Solstice! 🌞 Whether it's bright or grey where you are, the sun's strength is now growing each day 🌝 #solstice #edvardmunch

In the damp and gloom of winter, let your spirit be lifted and set free by Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending, first performed #otd in 1920 at Shirehampton Public Hall, Bristol 😊 Here's the centenary performance in the same venue: youtu.be/3b0rN43q6jo #vaughanwilliams #classical #larkascending

For today's #hillfortswednesday: A clip of a superb #Welsh hillfort. Tre'r Ceiri is located 450 metres above sea level, on an exposed peak of Yr Eifl on the Llŷn Peninsula in #Gwynedd . It is one of the best preserved & was one of the most densely populated hillforts in #Britain. ©TrimontiumTrust

Happy Birthday, ED! ✍️ Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea, Past the houses past the headlands Into deep Eternity. Bred as we, among the mountains Can the sailor understand The divine intoxication Of the first league out from land? #emilydickinson #edickinson #poetry #Amherst

The bounce on these fellas...

Monkey has collapsed on my lap after washing himself thoroughly. #caturday #proofofcat

A fine day on the Quantocks. Views to Dunkery, Rhossili, Gower, south Wales coast, Bannau Brycheiniog, Sugar Loaf, Skirrid Fawr and new Severn Bridge. Not inconsiderably pleased 😊 #Quantocks #landscape #exmoor #Gower #bannaubrycheiniog

Add a pot of tea and a companionable cat, and it would be bliss indeed 🫖 🐈

Horizontal slabs of pressure-hardened seabed, halfway up a mountain. We live on such a wonderful planet 🌍

A chilly, but bright, pilgrimage to Cranborne Chase. Having paid my respects to The General in Tollard Royal, fine views (and frost-bitten ears) walking to Win Green and back. My reward: tea, cake and books in Shaftesbury 🫖🍰📚 #pittrivers #cranbornechase #Shaftesbury @foldedorset.bsky.social

First snow on the mountains this winter: view up the Dysynni Valley to Craig Aderyn / Bird Rock and Cadair Idris.

The old lane to the coast path at dawn... Treen, Cornwall, on Thursday 🤩

HERE IT IS!!!!!

Was pretty stunned to come across these Paul Nash trees yesterday

An Evening Wander. 8°C and a cold wind. The hoot of an owl.

Liquidambar leaf palette just now👇🏼. Pause for a moment if you’re feeling anxious-your brain’s likely to release dopamine due to a positive response to colour gradation, certain bright colours & looking at images our brains find appealing. A pause here will make your day slightly easier to tackle 🍁
