Next up in the Kaleidoscopic series, a dark mode abstraction made from an apartment building in London.

The residential and mixed use complex, known as The Corniche, was designed by global architecture studio, Foster + Partners.

The weekend's in sight... Happy #FlyDay!

A kestrel soars towards the camera, wings outstretched and talons ready. Its sharp eyes and slightly open beak give it a look of focus and anticipation, as if it's spotted something exciting just ahead... the weekend.

Love it or hate it?

This January our *Scone of the Month* is... Cheese and Marmite!

Try with a whipped Marmite butter and smoked cheddar cheese and we think any hater would be won over.
A plate with a freshly baked cheese and marmite scone cut in half. The plate rests on a yellow cloth napkin on a wooden table top. A pile of scones is plated up behind. Also on the table are two small white dishes. One contains pieces of smoked cheese, the other a whipped marmite spread.

Victorian seaside shelters; a common sight in most tourist-based coastal locations in the UK.

Once loved and used a place for relaxing and socialising. Now, based on the offensive smell, mostly used as a public toilet 🤢

Today, wildfires are wiping out twice as much forest as they did 20 years ago.

It may be hard to visualise, so here's an interactive map to see just how big these burned areas are. 👇

A high-contrast, black and white close-up photograph of an open book. The camera is positioned at a low angle near the spine, looking up as the pages fan out in a dramatic, radial pattern. The thin edges of the pages create sharp, white lines that contrast starkly against deep black shadows in the gutters. Light hits the edges and surfaces of the fanned-out pages, highlighting their texture and the presence of printed text. The book sits on a dark, textured surface, and the overall composition is geometric and moody, focusing on the repetition of lines and the interplay of light and shadow.

Just back from New York 🇺🇸

Unfortunately, the ride was closed for the winter, so I just had to walk around Blackpool instead 👟📷

Man it was cold 🥶
