That noise!

Probably the only time I've ever seen a Cicada 'close-up' and docile enough to photograph. This was taken with a mobile phone, no specialist equipment required! Taken in Split.

Hag Stones

Naturally perforated stones, with a hole worn through by water, believed in folklore to possess magical protective powers against evil, witches, and nightmares.

St Margaret trampling on a dragon....as ya do.

Lichfield Cathedral earlier today, had a few hours to kill and the cathedral is always a good wander.

No BlueSky here (in my part at least) of the UK.
But you can have a Blue Peacock instead!

Allium

Would you believe I take lots of flower photos when the season's right. I don't often post them here as I don't want to become 'that flower guy' 😁 But 'Close-up' is a big temptation!

A dry run for...
#AlphabetTechPhoto #DoubleExposure
as the week has nearly expired, i.e. this wasn't taken this week so wouldn't qualify for this interesting new sub challenge. Next week though 👍

I used the DE filters in Analog Efex Pro, via Lightroom.

Is Yogi a harsh critic about my (daughters) choice of reading material, or does he just want the box to himself?

'The French Lieutenant's Woman'

I've never read to book I have to confess, but I love the film.

Inception

A good week for #AlphabetChallenge and it's made me revisit some older images for #WeekAForAbstract
Interesting to see other posters take on Abstract and made me think about a subject with a sometimes difficult interpretation.

As a life long Bowie fan I need no converting, but are the younger generation going to let his legacy fade away?

"This approach serves affluent middle-aged fans – but the releases are out of the price range and field of interest for teenagers who might become the Bowie obsessives of tomorrow."
Ten years after his death, is David Bowie’s musical legacy at risk of fading from view?
From the V&A to the Stranger Things finale, the pop icon still looms large – but with lower streaming figures than his peers, how many new listeners are discovering his music?

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars
