Revisiting a #TidesOutTuesday from September. #EastCoastKin #photographersunited #photography

Early stroll. The cold breeze tries to infiltrate my hair. A leafless tree ponders on the idea of spring. A man runs by, hoping the bus is late. I wear the morning like a coat. That motorbike speaks fluent roar.

3 February 1917 | A Polish Jew, Jakob Jeruzalski, was born in Mogielnica. A tailor. In #Auschwitz from 20 February 1942. No. 23354 He perished in the camp on 23 March 1942. --- 🎧 Our podcast talks about the situation of Polish & Jewish prisoners in the camp: https://youtu.be/_ZaWqIsmY4U

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEponymous The conservatory at the Horniman Museum - the museum was created by Frederick John Horniman of the tea family.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEponymous The roof of Hay’s Galleria near London Bridge - named after the owner of the wharf that it was built over - Alexander Hay, who developed the wharf in the 18th century.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDramatic Dramatic rock formations between West Bay and Burton Bradstock which have probably disappeared in the five years since the photograph was taken due to cliff collapses. Thank you @sheena-mck.bsky.social for an excellent theme - really enjoyed it this week!

Early stroll. The moon is a ball thrown at a cloud. A long thin puddle in the shape of Chile. Birdsong turning morning’s page. Bright lights upstairs at the betting shop. A horse stands beside four traffic cones.

It is the first #SundayMorning of February already: my mind is in a spin: where does the time go?! Here's our "usual" start to the day: "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from 1929. It is in the collection at Brighton & Hove Museums where it is currently on display. #CecilOsborne

Decided not to risk my almost healed ankle on a muddy Catford #parkrun. Ran there and back but volunteered - artistic cone arrangement before, marshalling during. #JogDivision #GreenRunners #RunningPunks

Catford #parkrun 334 saw 213 finishers & 4 dogs in muddy, slippery conditions - there were 44 1st timers, with five doing their very 1st parkrun. Despite the conditions 11 managed PBs! As always, a massive thank you to the 29 volunteers who made it all happen! www.parkrun.org.uk/catford/resu...

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDramatic No one wants a neon pink ‘windmill’ running across the background of a scene in a TV comedy drama - so everyone had to get back into position.

You can’t just say AI tutors are going to teach disadvantaged kids. You might as well say inflatable dentists will solve the NHS backlog. The casual anthropomorphising of AI has got to stop. They’re not ‘tutors’, it’s software. It’s not ‘one-to-one’, it’s a kid on a screen on their own.

A short, gentle, very local run to test out my ankle after peroneal tendonitis. Seemed OK afterwards which was positive. #GreenRunners #JogDivision #RunningPunks

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Curse of private equity. UK vets may have to publish prices of common pet treatments. That won't stop rip-off charges and unnecessary treatments. Must break-up local monopolies, have not-for-profit vets, control prices, boycott greedy vets.

Annual reminder of how many days there are in each month.

27 January 1939 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Margaretha Beatrice Swartberg, was born in Groningen. In October 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz with her mother Maria Sara and younger sister Judith Josephine. Most probably they were murdered together in a gas chamber after selection.

Early stroll. That puddle has grown from a sentence to a paragraph. The swirling wind chases its tail. The soft geometry of a fallen leaf. Rain chucks its weight around. Passing cars splash performatively.

Early stroll. I try to eat a pear artistically. The white line meanders down the road. A takeaway coffee lid like a plastic moon. Two men carry trays of bread to a door. The betting shop is in darkness.

Some of the highlights from this year’s Winter Lights Festival at Canary Wharf #WinterLights2026

A late afternoon walk towards Canary Wharf through Greenwich, seeing some balls of fluff being taught to walk like an Egyptian.

Early stroll. The argumentative harshness of cold air. Fallen leaves: last autumn’s tattoos. I pretend I am crossing a dry river bed as I cross the road. The first bus turns a corner in slo-mo. Star as a pin on the sky’s notice board.
