National Barrier

or, The grass is always greener on the other side

In New York for a week or so, so expect a few NY pictures over the next week.

The Garden

This is the last installment (for now) of images inspired by Jim Roche’s Substack on John Gossage’s The Pond.

On the side street there’s a gate leading into the abandoned and overgrown garden. Once I went in and took a picture or two. On this occasion I discovered it had been secured with a thin twist of metal ribbon. I considered removing it temporarily, but decided to honour someone’s property rights and instead photographed at various angles and over the wall.

Descending to Rottingdean

“Rottingdean is a village in the city Brighton and Hove, on the south coast of England. It borders the villages Saltdean, Ovingdean and Woodingdean, and has a historic centre, often the subject of picture postcards.” Some of its more renowned residents include Rudyard Kipling, Enid Bagnold, and Edward Burne-Jones.
