Street Scene at Sunset

After a long spell of absense I have returned! The world has changed much for us all since I last posted, but life goes on, and soon Christmas will be upon us. Therefore, I've chosen a somehat festive photograph of my local neighbourhood as my first post for a while; a street scene and a sunset. Plenty more to follow!

Waiting for a Train...

Like everyone else, I'm longing for things to return to normal in these strange, unprecedented times. I long to get out and about travelling again, socialising, visiting interesting places and discovering the odd and wonderful and taking photographs. I've taken all sorts of pictures right through this pandemic, more close to home, but I've been very lax in posting any here. So I thought it was about time I offered at least one picture, if only to demonstrate that I am still alive and kicking... unlike (perhaps) these boots –which moonlight as novel flowerpots next to a stretch of the mid-Norfolk Railway. Standing as if in anticipation of an arriving train (you can almost see one of the toes tapping impatiently) they at least put a smile on my face when I spotted them last year.

Gloves and Mittens Gone AWOL -No 16

Winter may be all but over, but in these corona-virus times perhaps the most sensible piece of clothing one can wear is a pair of gloves, no matter what the temperature is. If you don't have a pair of gloves of your own there are plenty of individual gloves out there, draped over hedges, stuck on posts or –in the Norwegian tradition: hanging on trees! Here's a beautiful example of a blooming Norwegian glove, happily residing on a branch with the top of the famous Holmenkollen ski-jump in the background. Stay safe, people, and don't lose your gloves at this time.
