Sunday evening saw two M.R. James tales performed by the great Robert Lloyd Parry (@nunkie.bsky.social). A wonderful moment during the 'mouth with teeth' wallop of Casting the Runes when the lady in the seat next to me involuntarily clutched the hand of her companion...

Also Sunday. Visited a discotheque grotto and found a rainbow...

Autumn leaf strewn path upwards under ancient rocky bridge.

Cave interior with illuminated patch from a small window in the rock.

Cave interior with carved out arches, tinted red from a coloured spotlight.

New @helleborezine.bsky.social just dropp'd. Pretending it's a late birthday present...

Hellebore #14: The Mirror Issue. Reflections, masks, portraits, shadows and photographs. In folklore, they are believed to contain part of our soul, and therefore to be invested with power. But this power they hold has also inspired some of our deepest fears: worlds hidden below the surface, trapped souls, shadowy beings stealing our likeness.
