Nearly 900years ago Stephen was ‘waltzing’ Matilda, through The Anarchy, the prize being the English Crown. So named because of the lawlessness that spread through the country as the two contenders ( and supporters) slogged it out oblivious to what was going on behind their respective backs. For example, many upper crust landowners built their own private castles (like this) ad nauseum ….without permission from the monarch.  Rather opportune as we enter 2024, an election year in the UK ….and more political waltzing is on the cards.  Click here to comment on this image.

Daniel’s Mill is the oldest working waterwheel driven corn mill in the UK (maybe further?)….so I am told. Built in the 18th century, its remained in the same family for over 250 years….located in Shropshire.  Click here to comment on this image.

Yes Graham I am going through some IR shots that I never worked before. I am finding it extremely good training on the Mac/Photoshop combo. Couple more before I sign off…  Click here to comment on this image.

It is never too late - the question is - is it worth it?

Back in 2018 my wife and I had cause to visit Angers, France (for any America guests). The wife had ‘disxovered’ on line a shop that sold statues…and one had taken her eye. After visiting the castle, the Apocalypse Tapestry ( amazing) visited the shop and purchased the said statue (leaving it for later collection rather than cart it around the city) we ventured to the gallery of David d’Angers…to view not buy, as you will realise from the following… Set in an old small church which had it roof replaced with a modern steel and glass, David’s fantastic work was beautifully bathed in sunlight with the juxtaposition of the old and modern. I couldn’t resist taking a few photos…  Click here to comment on this image.  Click here to comment on this image.  Click here to comment on this image. But the funniest part of the whole visit was the ‘site security’. As we walked around the gallery we were somewhat singled out by a young man who steadfastly followed us obviously viewing us ‘English’ with suspicion. I mean, as if we were about to steal a 4ton statue? But he insisted on popping up in shot and I had to use Jan as a decoy to lure him around a corner in a suspicion manner such that he had to follow her in preference to me ….while I grabbed some shots without him in the frame. Well I couldn’t resist it anymore and when he positioned himself amongst the head sculptures I couldn't not immortalise him (note the sideways surveillance) …..  Click here to comment on this image.
