From Buster Hill heading towards Coombe, the shade covered north facing slopes on the left remain frozen, still covered in white ice. The distant grass green slopes catch the sun as they rise towards Old Winchester Hill.

Roofs of Iron Age roundhouses at Butser Ancient Farm under a cloudy sunlit sky. Nothing at all to place you in the present.

From inside the Roman villa at Butser Ancient Farm, looking out onto the garden. Today is a bit grey and blustery so here’s a pic from bluer skies. #uk #travel #roman #butser #thewayfaringpath

Three people are posing for a cheerful selfie outdoors on a sunny day. The person in the center, wearing a large black sunhat and oversized sunglasses, smiles brightly. The individual on the left is adorned with elaborate face paint and a vibrant floral crown, while the person on the right is dressed in an intricate costume made of green leaves and foliage, with their face painted green to resemble a forest or nature spirit.

A woman is smiling brightly in a close-up selfie taken outdoors. She wears a wide-brimmed black hat and large sunglasses that reflect a fence and people in the background. Her outfit features a colorful paisley-patterned garment, layered gold necklaces with various pendants, and a black top underneath. She has a nose ring and three vertical blue lines painted on her chin, possibly part of a costume or cultural event. Lush greenery and sunlight add to the festive and vibrant atmosphere.

A towering sculpture made from woven natural materials stands against a clear blue sky. The figure resembles a giant warrior or deity, outfitted with a red skirt, a golden belt, a net draped over one arm, and a tall yellow trident in hand. Its head is topped with a red plume and features circular eye cutouts. Several people, including a man in a green shirt standing beneath the figure, give a sense of the sculpture’s immense scale. The setting is a grassy park area with trees and scattered visitors. Overlaid text humorously reads, “Dunno who this dude is 😶.”

A large crowd gathers at dusk to witness the burning of an enormous wicker figure resembling a warrior or deity, complete with a trident and red garment. The towering sculpture, made of woven natural materials, is set ablaze from the base, with flames and smoke rising dramatically into the air. The scene is framed by tall trees in the background, and many spectators, some in costume or festival attire, watch and take photos of the fiery spectacle.

The family minus Isambard—Spouse to my right is tall and black and is dressed all in black with huge black feather wings and a ribcage design T-shirt, dark glasses and white stripes makeup, then centre Rosewind with golden antlers and sickle yellow sunglasses and a general Demeter theme and then child dressed as Persephone in her spring goddess personification with a purple gold and blue silk dress, matching hair and fairy wings and a crown—despite her heels RW is notably shorter than the other two
