Using my Panasonic Lumix TZ7 and it’s fantastic zoom and image stabilisation, and at low-ish light levels (dusk), I took the following pictures last night of the thinnest, slimmest, almost invisible moon that I’ve ever seen.  Just after the sun set, the bats were flying and the moon was ever-so-close to the sun.  On 12x [...]

Final preparations for Xmas dinner involved another trip to Wallace’s venison Farm  on the Blackdown Hills for some Venison and Bison roasting joints.  Across the main road is a National trust area which has fantastic views over Taunton Vale, as seen here!  All pictures taken on a Panasonic Lumix TZ-7, although not all by me!

Following a cold, frosty night, when the early morning fog had lifted, I noticed that the air overhead was exceptionally clear, transparent, and un-disturbed.  This is readily apparent with the cropped aeroplane flying at over five miles up, where the engines and red markings on the tail are quite clear. The pictures are taken using [...]

Pleasant but Not Decisive Days in Evreux Full Gallery Here Evreux is an old cloth & dye town where the poor were much troubled in olden days and where the current mayor (unlike mayors of nearby towns),  refuses to boot out all the black people.  France is a strange place.  Some towns really are like [...]

Some may recognise this post’s title – it’s the opening line from David Bowie’s ‘Quicksand’ and refers to Alistair Crowley‘s OTO-like organisation.  Personally, I like the tune and it always comes to mind on mornings like today when the sky was like the photosphere of the Sun, absolutely flawless in it’s colour transitions.  The pictures [...]

Evelyn has moved to a new place (in Bristol) with her mate. My mate Nobby and I helped her move. Amazingly, she’s got her own bit of (probable) Banksy art right outside her front door – a headless chicken! Hopefully it’ll stay as it’s quite neat, I think. (The pictures are taken with my Panasonic [...]

Assorted pictures taken on my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 yesterday.  All photos are 16:9 wide-screen resolution, batch resized using Irfanview from the initial 3712 x x2088 to a maximum dimension of 1024 pixels and set to 85% jpg compression.  This means they should have a reasonable load time in the browser and display adequately.  Some back-lighting  [...]

Exploring the Simultaneous Nature of Cause & Effect Star Trek: The Next Generation: Finale, Episode – “All Good Things…” I’ve just watched the double episode finale to the TNG Picard series just after the cyclists finished their ascent of Mont Ventoux in this years Tour de France.  It was “All Good Things…”(see link, link & [...]

Northumberland Northumberland is a lovely place – cold, sunny, windy, dry, overcast, damp, clear, clean and historic.  But mainly brrr  and wow!  Especially on the coast. It’s quite popular with tourists.  Here’s why I go there… …why do the fuckwits? The historic island of Lindisfarne (Holy Island) is connected to the mainland via a tarmac [...]

Butterflies and Convolvulus (and George the Dog) Just a few shots taken today using my Panasonic Lumix TZ5 with a mix of flash, action and automatic settings.

Sex and Death, Death Sex, Death and Sex, AND the Death of Democracy. I’m yet again struck by the rampant hypocrisy from America.  It’s citizens seem to think that everyone in the world has to follow their peculiar mores and morals to the letter, conveniently forgetting that they won’t abide by their own rules written [...]
