Taking Things Literally



A painter was working on a medium sized canvas off to the left, with the pier columns prominent in the painting, forcing me to look again as we walked past the pier and notice, once more, how photographable it is in every different light.





The small white sign reads, “Hahahaha Yes we know. It’s the Right way around inside. ‘Merry Christmas.'”

The Tories are out, but are Labour succeeding?



The last of the dusk’s murmuration before the starlings all dove beneath the pier to roost.



…God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Hard not to think of words like these (at least in the West) upon seeing such a sight. Probably the wind turbines don’t support the imagism, but don’t tell Donald.

I was struck by the blue-grey of the sky against the green of the sea on this particular day in mid-December, not quite fully realised by the final image, but such a view is available from many East-West streets in Brighton and Hove.

Christmas lights have been up for at least a month in Brighton. This message didn’t seem to strike the note one might have expected.
