For the last 5+ years people have been sharing coastal landscape images with the Global Shorelines Project. I mount exhibitions in aid of marine conservation charities.
Maybe send me an image of a coast you love with a sentence of commentary.
Some previously posted examples below.

And a great cover pastiche of Théodore Géricault's, Raft of the Medusa by the British artist Peter Mennim.
We lost the wonderful Shane MacGowan two years ago today. The Pogues' album "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash" is one of my favourite albums of all time. The emotion that Shane put into singing the lyrics of "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is profound and very moving. #ShaneMacGowan

This is great. I have followed Howson's work for many years and love that Scottish figurative school of artists like him, Ken Currie, Steven Campbell. Plus John Byrne and John Bellany. Hopefully Ross Muir will get lot's more exposure from this.

One of my favourite American actors. He did a great job with Pollock (2000). Director and lead role. One of the best artist biopics out there.

Cleese: In a nutshell, I thought to myself, 'a little fermented curd will do the trick', so I curtailed my Walpoling activities, sallied forth & infiltrated your place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!

Why do the MSM still give this man and Truss any airspace or credence, after what they did to the pensions and mortgages of ordinary working people. Not to mention the stock market. All while trying to ease taxes for the wealthiest.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Jack Shepherd. One of the UK’s finest actors. Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. RIP
RIP Jack Shepherd. One of the greats. He’s most famous for Wycliffe, but his legacy goes way beyond that, particularly with his performance as the eponymous Bill Brand in Trevor Griffiths’ brilliant series, and also for being the original Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross.

Hate, loathe and despise are strong words, but I am happy to reserve them for Johnson, and his supporters.

Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record.

FACT OF THE DAY. 23 November 1963. BBC1 broadcast the 1st episode of science fiction series Doctor Who with William Hartnell in the title role. The 1st episode deals with Ian and Barbara’s discovery of the Doctor and reveals his time-space ship TARDIS which is disguised as a police box.

We waited a very, very long time for an enquiry to tell us what most of us knew, all along. Johnson and his administration are culpable for a great many (avoidable) deaths.
Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.
