A photograph of a large sow atop a hillock viewed from a footpath below. Seemingly standing on a man made platform in front of a squat farm building, perhaps her shelter. A gull flies low over the scene and another stands on the roof of the shelter structure. In the foreground the grass is long and a dirty gold. Echoing the dirty pink of the pig. The sky is overcast and even threatening. In spite of the brightness of the scene on a day mixed weather wise.

A photograph in close up of various reed, weed and fauna stalks some of which are scarlet in colour. In different focus but nice verticals against the hatching of a wire fence just visible. Taken on a bright day with the BlueSky visible through trees in the background. The movie references an adaptation of a book of same title about a disadvantaged woman growing up as an outsider to an adjacent community, finding meaning and purpose in the nature that surrounded her family home. The site of image is a nature reserve located at a point marsh gives way to sea.

A photo of a small part of a beautiful and restored train station. That used to bring tourists (amongst other folk) to the coast, often to journey onwards across La Manche (Channel) to France. Mainly painted in creams, and featuring the soft tones of exposed brick and pavement the green is dark and rich where it coats the uprights and the platform signs. It’s a sunny spring day so light floods the scene and casts pleasing abstract and geometric shadows. A group of elegant women, one in a full length cream coat stroll the platform. To the champagne bar for brunch perhaps.

A photograph of a human made waterfall as part of water way diversion connected to a local paper mill site in Chartham near Canterbury. Visible are two ‘steps’ of a diverted course of the river Stour. Taken face on, on a bright Spring 2025 day with the sun pouring into the space. The image is bordered by ivy covered fauna. To the background the ‘step’ has a bridge like structure to it traversing the water. The closer ‘step’ bridged seemingly by a pipe of sorts. I can speak a little French and I enjoy using language beyond my mother tongue for the pleasure of it. Sort of.

A photograph of the same sea defence wall featured in earlier posts this week. In this image the wall is adorned notably with a stylised and cartoon like illustration of a cat. Outlined as a loose square with two triangles for ears, a semi circle paw and tail and oversized facial features. In bright red spray paint. Other marks and shapes are visible in black and red. Too a profanity (in the UK) reading fanny and made using the abundant chalk from the cliff face. The latter partially featured alongside the sandy beach creating a banded quality (3) to the photo. Fun and funny.

A photograph of the sea defence wall in main post. Face on. Featuring a variety of colourful cartoon like images including a pink cat, a green snake like creature and an orange with a humorous expression. Scattered with cute hearts and the word ‘bum’ 😆. In front is the chalk strewn sand and a pool of seawater. Behind the ever crumbling chalk cliff face. Fun and cute - imagine that had by the creator(s) of the mural. 🤩

A photograph taken from a low position close to a sea defence wall, visible at an oblique angle and adorned with colourful graffiti and tags. In the foreground a pool of sea water reflecting the sky and the wall. Beyond the sandy beach, low cliffs forming the headland and a small glimpse of the sea itself. The cliffs in the distance still bathed in sunlight as the days lengthen heading towards British Summer Time. Taken late in the afternoon. FTFOI. Broadstairs area in Kent.

A photograph taken from atop a now disused railway embankment at the point at which a line once crossed the river stour in Canterbury. At a near 180 degree angle looking directly down onto a pathway below and the river Stour itself. Visible are vines decorating the broken bridge with pleasant green and red leaves. The guard railings separating path and river and the waterway itself. Notably close to the bank a bicycle is just visible beneath the murky waters. Reminding me of that Einstein (I think) expression about judging fish on their ability to ride a bike. Fun. Sort of.

A photograph of a bend in the road of a small Kentish Town called Sandwich - interestingly. Notable that it’s a bright sunlit image backed by a dark grey sky as a hailstorm approaches creating a nice tension. Visible aside the road is a low and ancient brick wall, a variety of older residential buildings and just in shot an Oast house famous in Kent as places to dry hops (I think). A blue double decker bus is arriving on the scene and put me in my mind of a tune lyric (The End by The Doors) which for too long dominated the playlist in these parts. Thankfully Jim plays in a kitchen elsewhere now 🤩

A photograph of a window recess or sill in an older property. Washed with lunchtime light arriving via the original window, framed in painted (cream) wood. Featuring in close up but at varying distances and focus two vases one of thicker and patterned (natural leaf like forms) glass and a larger cream colour and enamel (I think) jug. So they are abstracted to a degree. TFL as an acronym is the common TLA for Transport For London but if you have to explain the joke! 🤩

A European Stonechat gripping (sort of) a bent reed stalk. He or she are cute and small with a breast akin to a robins but more otherwise brown and in different tones and with a little white collar. Learning.

A photograph of an Ivy draped trunk of a tree to its left and more focused. To the right a more fully vertical post, I think possibly a lamp example. Between them a river flows and in lower focus. The principal subject however is the afternoon sunlight both bathing the scene and highlighting aspects as it shines through trees and from an out of shot direction. Spring time!

An archive photograph of an empty (of visible humans) retail space on a grey rainy day on Statin Island. A plaza of sorts open and flanked by two multi-storey glass fronted outlets connected by a walkway. Other features of note are a pooling of rain water, a staircase and pleasingly (in this blue, green and grey scene) a bright red and open umbrella against two blue trash cans.

A photograph of a gift come garden store display located roadside somewhere in Maine. An archive image from 2025 it is principally of a baby or young child’s head made from a white porcelain type substance and about the size of a large orange. Notably it’s a little worn as if it’s an ancient artefact but it might be contrived. It is surrounded by more commonplace gift store wares, vases and ornaments of various sizes and colours. I like its gentle macabre nature.

A photograph ostensibly of a row of 9 (fully visible) beach huts situated facing a car park (for accessible badgers holders) and in a range of traditional UK beach (seaside) colours and designs. Notably the car park is empty as the image was captured a little early in the season. Visible in the immediate foreground is the rock of the wall the iPhone was perched to take the scanning shot and unfocused. And of course the sky behind the scene is a bluest of blue fettered by a handful of fluffy white clouds. Bright days will become more frequent - exciting.

A photograph of a No Overnight Camping sign affixed to railings separating humans and dogs (presumably) from the edge of an inlet wall. Including a black graphic representation of a box style camper within a traditional red ring with a diagonal indicating the ‘ban’. The railing features repeating inverted and elongated u shapes to form the vertical. With a single thicker horizontal. Beyond is the rise of the inlet wall, the sea, a modest peninsula and finally the sky. Taken in late afternoon as the visible sun dips towards the horizon adding to the golden tones and echoing the gold of dried brush fringing the sea or inlet wall. ✨The opposite view to photograph of aged Lifeboat posted yesterday - separated by the visible car park reflected in the boat shed window. 🔴✨‼️ I don’t own a camper but one day 🤩

A photograph taken from a low position on the themselves low slung, dunes of a beach in Suffolk on the sunniest of near spring days. In the foreground a collection of natural materials form a made semi hide or shelter a very small person or child could play at taking cover in. Or a professional birder disguise themselves a little. The sand is powdery and glowing its light gold in the afternoon sun between and beyond long beach grasses. Further still the grey blue of the North Sea and the bluest of blue skies flecked near imperceptibly with tiny traces of clouds combine to have made the scene feel other (than the UK East Coast). 💙🦋✨

A photograph of a tailors dummy of old in female form afore a fireplace and as room decoration. With the word STOCKMAN across the chest capitalised. Within the fireplace a large old clock approaches 4 o’clock and sits on top of wooden crates labelled Schweppes. Notably one breast of the dummy is more worn than others reminding me of public statues. Often worn in places where they have been rubbed for love, fertility or luck in either. Fun.

A photograph of a tiny long tailed tit - partially obscured by the prickly branches of the scrub it was hopping about. Such an absolute darling of a little bird. Taken on a dull-ish day brightened by the cute encounters. Suffolk.

A photograph of a finch with the softest peach coloured breast perched in similar scrub to the tiny tit. So very cute and obliging.

A photograph taken close to the wall of a very old building predominantly constructed (externally and ostensibly at least) of wooden beams. Central Canterbury. In the shadow of that Cathedral. Visible is the intersection of two cobbled lanes or streets. Perched on a beam acting as shelf is a discarded can of Budweiser, the red. Of note is a permanent bollard at an approximate 80 degree angle, at odds with its counterpart across the street. A hoodie dude arrives stage right working his phone as he strolls down the otherwise empty street on a February Saturday. I like his headwear.

A photograph of a close up of a rope swing or at least a thickish branch hanging from a thicker equivalent by a piece of bright green rope. On a bright day the green is prominent against the more muted greens and browns and golds of a landscape coming back to life as spring approaches. A wise person I’d met that morning made points about the land never really having experienced winter as I or he would have known them decades earlier as a warning re climate change. And looking back on this image he was mostly right. The landscape of Kent at least didn’t this year appear to become fully dormant. For example many trees still have some leaves be they autumnal coloured or not, still hanging from them.

A view across an empty section of an otherwise busy bar, empty save for two men sitting across from each other at one table. The decor is fun and prompted the photograph. Wooden tables and plastic-esque chairs retro styling. The floor boards are exposed as are the brick walls. Notable is the red of the table the photographer sits at, a floor to ceiling double red door affair AND the double decker London bus passing the full length window at the front of the bar.

A photograph of a pipe and valve configuration taken on a multi level car park landing featuring a red turning mechanism presumably for a valve. The rest of the configuration is filled grey and bronze coloured metal. Taken from a low position also visible is a small fragment of a clip type frame of an adjacent municipal poster display and railings protecting the public from falling from a window type aperture. All tones are muted and versions of grey and white albeit a little dirty. Light is entering the scene through the aperture in a diffused kinda way on the clear-ish day. Fun.

A photograph taken on an unanticipated sunny late winter morning with a pleasant blue sky flecked by parting clouds. Featuring prominently a triangular red warning road sign indicating a hump in the road, itself in view and more pathway than road. The sign is tagged with at least two distinct tags. Also visible are trees and shrubs lining the river Medway, itself out of view save a hint at it by a partially obscured floating structure. 21 days to go!

A photograph featuring a floating vessel moored at a local quayside taken on grey and rainy day in February. Two different shades of blue adorn the painted deck (turquoise) and the cabin area (navy). Taken at an oblique angle visible at its tip is a bright orange-red life preserving ring. In the foreground is an aged wooden post used to moor the vessel to the land at the base of which is a tyre, chain and rope configuration. The colours pop and shine in the rain - beauty where I found it. Faversham. Kent. February.

A photograph of a single snowberry surrounded by the brown twigs of the bush it clings to. The near pure white orb is intersected by a tiny twig end creating pleasing point of interest. In my mind anyway.

A photograph ostensibly of a ‘No Cycling’ sign on a post dictating the rules of the path it relates to. Just visible to the right are puddles in the muddy path. A wooden fence partially obscures a further ‘No Horse Riding’ sign on the same post. Beyond is the expanse of the view across the bay to an outcrop beyond on a very sunny day in January. It’s a repeating location across some recent posts. 🔴 The sun is behind the sign creating a glow to part of it.

A photograph featuring dry and remaining seed heads in the very immediate foreground and occupying nearly the full frame. Their browns and golds are complimented by the golds of the reeds and stalks beyond them and the bluest of skies. Streaked a little with the white clouds that are at the horizon line forming a low band whilst closer to dispersed vapour trails elsewhere. January, Pegwell Bay, Kent.

A photograph of a relatively standard high street wooden bench but notable for its scarlet arms. Situated in a site with a desolate and deserted vibe. Behind it is a ‘this store is closed’ sign on the window of an empty store and neglected lamp and other posts. Atop of one is an angled yellow square fire hydrant sign. The pavement is block with a pleasant concentric circular pattern to it. It’s an overcast afternoon although no sky is visible.

A photograph taken close up and from a low position of the now golden reeds or grasses or sedge carpeting the land bordering a river. They have the colour of pale caramel and are interspersed with occasional glimpses of medium height green shoots. Their own structure and weight has caused them all to bend and flop at their mid points doubling their volume in appearance. Beyond trees are visible against a gloomy grey sky that affords a degree of closed-in-ness to the image.
