#FacesInPlaces - and misty legs, floating arms. I know we're a few weeks off #Halloween, but it was getting a bit spooky as the @metwalkers.bsky.social wandered around #Chelsea yesterday
With the spring #tide, the banks doth floweth over and it becomes #Thames upon #Richmond. But the local animals are pretty used to that by now! Thanks to @thamespathnt.bsky.social for the tidal-tipoff!
I have no idea about hairdressing, but I'd say with further/higher ed, one of the points is the room to do other things at the same time, exposure to new people and ideas, wide horizons, stumbling onto what you never realised you love.
So including some room for that seems worthwhile, if possible.
Of course, my #Walktober wanders aren't always A to B - sometimes I walk around a place. Sunday was #LondonZoo with especial attention to the #reptile house, as I was watching Antony & Cleopatra that evening. #LoveLondonWalkLondon#WildlifePhotography
Also, a thank you to the couple who glanced down this alley and gasped to see such a clear and low moon - I so often see things thanks to the eyes of others.
When the #moon took a lover in posh Belgravia, she loved to talk with him all night long. The neighbours hated it - all 'statutory nuisance' this and 'unreasonably and substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment' that. "Ahhh, but you see" said he "Ancient lights." #Walktober#NightPhotography
My #walktober wander yesterday took me from Harrow on the Hill to Stanmore, via the tomb where #Byron lay for inspiration, and onto Bentley Priory nature reserve, with its longhorns and #deer. #Wildlife#LoveLondonWalkLondon#photography
One of the ideas behind #Walktober is keeping on #walking as the nights get darker, colder, wetter. I love a nightwalk, and don't feel the cold that much (there's privledge there, I know). But it's nice to be reminded to go see the darkness 🖤
I think the young kits have recently been kicked out/encouraged to find their own place - saw 4-5 as a semi-group on an Islington street.
And the nature of spotting foxes whilst wandering urban streets in the evening is you're never quite sure if an earlier fox doubled back round on you 😂
#London is a city perpetually creating itself out of chaos. A.S. Byatt (possibly)
There's always something… no, a lot of different somethings going on, all at once - and my #Walktober wanders show me a lot. Here, a protest behind me and a closed main road ahead. #StreetPhotography
It's #Walktober so I'm doing a #walk every day, and sharing what I see. It's always a whirligig of interesting sights, like this #StreetArt last night (artist unknown). Along with somewhere in the region of fifteen foxes! Credit to @gojauntly.bsky.social for inspiring me to a month of walks!
Maybe @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social could cover the rise in the far right, in racist attacks and, you know, the effect on millions of British people instead of platforming them every night
I'd settle for @theguardian.com doing even basic coverage of racism in the UK
"No thank you! We don't want any more underpasses, diversions, or traffic escalations!" "And what about ancient highways of #London?" "St. Martin's Le Grandalf! 🥰"
"Ah, my sweet princess, you've come to save me! … what do you mean you're just here to go skinny-dipping in the Roxbourne?? I may look like a plastic amphibian but I'm really ROYALTY! … oh, you're anti-monarchist? Shit." #WeirdLondon#TellingStories#LondonsRivers
Welcome to the seaside, we've got fun and games At the seaside, welcome to the seaside We're watching you get sandy knees, Oh we wanna watch you in the sea breeze
