Exciting news…my online shop, selling some of my landscape photos, is now open! 😀

Please do have a look to see if anything takes your fancy and also let me know if there are any teething issues, as it’s all new to me.

N.B. All prints come unframed

I think this is one of the most poignant photographs I have taken, an abandoned cottage on Benbecula deliquescing back into the landscape, while the bottles of a ruined life glint savagely on a bright cold day. c.1999.

I was thinking about how much joy this gave me as child.

Historic graffiti recording yesterday, out of all of it, this I found most stirring. Couple of youngsters up the tower scratched their names into the lead of church roof, alongside their evacuation year. One of them I found is a new find #archaeology #history #WWII #graffiti #church #London #Devon

My fave feature from today & a nice follow on from last night LFG talk by Joe Thompson. This is an inserted/altered stack with 17thc repurposed beam, flipped & incised in the 18thc to mimic a brick segmental lintel. Love spotting cheap, resourceful upgrades #buildingsarchaeology #archaeology #LFG

How much historic colour are we missing colour from our streets?

#31DaysOfGraves day 30 - colour. Intrigued by the blue pattern on the top of George Powys’s (c1856-1925) gravestone at Berrington #Shropshire. No other like it there.
Oh this is just great! Myself and @millyallen.bsky.social are working on applied colour on headstones- they are everywhere once you start looking. May we use your image and credit you? Please do let us know if you see more. Ta very much.

An important and overdue piece of research - hopefully just the first - which will inform future development in both sectors. 🙌
So happy to see this article out!

In this ethnography of the relationship between archaeologists and construction, we explore how both disciplines communicate, and how concepts such as risk, incommensurability, uncertainty and translation..

I love the timelessness of covering buildings and people unable to resist throwing snowballs. A detail from the Cycle of Months, Eagle Tower, Castelo del Buoconsiglio, Trento. Maestro Venceslao, c1405 –1410. Our thanks to Vrinda Jariwala , Vivienne Whyte , Sarah Mayfield for their LFG talks.
It might have been cut back Michael, because it was on that exposed corner where the masonry touches the rock. 2019.
Twisted tree growing from where the Old Castle Lachlan meets the earth and overlooking Loch Fyne on the Cowl Peninsula.
Multiple layers of limewash.
We fell out - ran off in the woods this morning.
This is just perfect, tiles bedded in a thick lime plaster and at ground level, where there are likely to be salts, a thick coarse plaster which has been lined out. Guimaraes, Portugal.
It’s just fabulous Claire.
