For 2014 I set myself a project to take and publish a photograph every day. Hopefully. Here are the results.
Regular readers will be aware that Maude and I like a walk in Royal Victoria Park in Bath. This park is a large, beautiful open space right in the middle of Bath and is a real benefit to residents and visitors. There was a problem that people were using the park to leave their cars…
Some years ago some friends and I went for a week trekking in the Karwendel Alps in Austria. After a long first day we were forced to bail out as there had been an unexpected big dump of fresh snow and all the trails were closed; even the guides were not going out. Plan B…
Are we being lulled into a false sense of security regarding the weather? Is Spring really round the corner? I don’t know and there’s still plenty of time for ice and snow but I found these that cheered me up. 21 January 2014
The beautiful city of Bath has many historic buildings which are one of the main attractions for visitors. There are also some parts that are not so scenic but our sensibilities are protected by a local council and by local pressure groups. Some of these pressure groups appear to take a firm stance of DO…
There has been a strange bright light in the sky today that was very worrying until I remembered what it is, SUNSHINE! And it lasted all day and it was quite nice and warm. It won’t last of course but it was lovely while it did.Tonight we get frost. Here is a picture of the…
I’m afraid that I never got round to posting yesterday but it was “one of those days” and I just could not get myself in the mood for anything. However I did get one shot that I thought was quite interesting, looking down our road with a mixture of roofs, wires, aerials and into the…
Sorry to say that today has been a complete washout photographically so rather than offering you a stock picture, here is a pub sign. The Dog and Duck! Now I’m off for a pint. 17 January 2014
Some days it is proving to be a real struggle taking a photograph for this project. The weather really isn’t helping and the time of year is making everything very dull indeed. Today however I actually took twenty one photos; some showing the rain and threatening clouds and some this evening as I was in…
I do like a good trompe l’oeil, from the French (obviously) meaning “deceive the eye”. These are paintings on buildings in a lifelike style to create an impression of something that is not actually there. They are very popular in France,I’ve seen them on visits to Paris and when I used to make business trips…
At last, nearly half way through January we have had a decent frost. All slippery roads and pavements and car crashes and journey delays; well it was going to happen sooner or later. On the plus side it cleared fairly quickly so that people could go about their business safely. I had intended to try…
