So massive it looks photoshopped. It isn’t

It fell during a storm in May 2023, and the nation mourned, although a fragment of the tree remains alive

🔆 Sending warmth and light to you all.
One for All Hallows' Day - not taken today, but still worth posting. My favourite photo I've taken of York Minster at first light - it seems to magically exude warmth and light - after the darkness recedes and night turns into day...

The scene for Soloman Soloman's 'The Breakfast Table,' (c1915) is the dining room at the family's home in Birchington, Kent; it depicts his wife Ella and daughter Iris, denoted by her hand holding the newspaper and her dangling leg and shoe.

Updated thread on The Lost King film:
I’m digging over old ground but I have to challenge Steve Coogan's line. He claims it’s all true (as has Philippa Langley): Langley will be celebrated for her achievement, Richard Taylor & his personal gripes will be forgotten
So what’s the real story? 1/15

I saw your posts! Yes it’s a fab area. I love Dunstanburgh too, a little further north but another distinctive outline
