Drink Driving

With, apparently, 8-10 people pedalling, we were walking at least as fast as the Beer Bike Tour!

We went to Rottingdean for their annual village fête on the day of the Pride parade this year, forgetting that there would be lots of road closures, so we wound up walking home to Hove from the Marina. Along the way, we met some of the celebrants who were happy to have their pictures taken.

Great Desire

I’ve photographed (and posted) this already but each time I’m there I want to try and get a better shot.

Cardoon

That big black shape on the middle flower was some kind of big fuzzy bee.

Rainbow

Sunlight streaming and dispersing onto the carpet – another one for the light and shadow collection.

More Light and Shade

A couple more images for my collection of sunlight and shade.

3 O’clock

We went to see the Zurbaràn exhibit at the National Gallery, which featured quite a few crucifixions in deep chiaroscuro. I was curious to see this detail, the shadow cast by the nails in Christ’s feet tell us the time was 3 o’clock, the biblically recorded time of the event.

Foule

We took the train into Victoria, then made the mistake of walking to the National Gallery past Buckingham Palace just as the changing of the guard was set to begin. We were penned in and were allowed to go neither forward nor backward for about 20 minutes, stuck in a crowd of tourists with volunteers warning of pickpockets. But, of course, nothing can be said to have happened unless it’s been captured on a phone.
