Rather large, menacing cloud lurking over Newhaven. #cloud #dragon #nightphotography
A star shines through a gap in a cloud and makes it look like a shadowy creature. The cloud is white illuminated from below.

I hope people spend days and days talking about her (she is 10,000,000 times more important than Charlie Kirk) and the amazing work she did.

This photo will always be so powerful and as defining of who we all can be.

Be like Jane Goodall.

I can’t believe I didn’t spot this before.

Strong “Observer’s Book of…” vibe from this Guardian article head. Wonder what it would “of” with that pic?
The Guardian “Saturday Read” column of 20th Sep 2025. Headline reads: “Andy Burnham, the man who would be king. Jessica Elgot and Pippa Crerar.” Authors names in red. Below is a rose-tinted graphic picture of AB looking past Kier Starmer from behind. Behind AB is the door to 10 Downing Street. The picture has a thin black line border.

Garden path lined by lavenders, lawn, trees. Clouds between us and Firle Beacon, blue skies above.

Who has the background to replace him? Stephen Fry? I'm blanking after that list of one! I'm sure there are others with the intellectual depth and range who could moderate discussions across all topics.

Who do you think could replace him?

Another Moonlight & mist number from The Cabourn above Glynde on the walk back from Lewes last night. #photography #nightphotography #glynde #lewes #moon
Shadowy trees and shrubs in the foreground, the path down the slope so dark it can’t be seen. Pools of mist above Glynde Reach below. A bright moon, light bleeding in lines at an angle over the shadowy foreground. On the horizon, the lights of nearby towns.

Moonlight & mist. #photography #night #moon #glynde #firle
A bright, moonlit night from Glynde looking towards Firle Beacon. Mist and trees rising above. Some floodlights next door illuminate the flinty stone wall of the garden and the sundial.

Quite beautiful after the first wave of rain. #sussex #landscape #glynde
A dark bank of cloud with white clouds below. Stone wall. A parched lawn which saw rain overnight. Green trees and bushes. A dark bank of cloud with white clouds below. Stone wall. A parched lawn which saw rain overnight. Green trees and bushes. Plastic garden chairs on flagstones. A complex of contrasting grey and white clouds rolling over Firle Beacon. A parched lawn damp from one night of rain. Green trees and bushes. A flagstone path with a central sundial, lavender to each side.
