52 Weeks (2026) Week 41 A fairly quiet week following our week away. However I did manage to work on a couple of abstract triptych’s. Plus a final rose at Alnwick Garden and ever reliable Cosmos still showing well at Howick Hall.

They were always very "out there" for a prog band due to Hammils vocals and the groups instrumentation.

#NowPlaying Peak Todd. I love the Runt stuff and S/A is packed with great songs, but this and its follow-up (74’s ‘Todd’) are acid-fried Todd in excelsis. By ‘73 he could do anything - the missing link between Zappa, Brian Wilson and Stevie Wonder - with a medley of R&B covers thrown in. Wonderful.

More from St James Church Ruin, Bawsey Norfolk. Bronica ETRS, Ilford Delta 400 120 developed in Beutler two part. #photography #believeinfilm #mediumformatphotography @ilfordphoto.com #landscapephotography
Black-and-white landscape photograph of a ruined medieval church, St James, Bawsey in Norfolk, standing alone on a low ridge in the middle distance. The remains are small within the frame, positioned slightly left of centre, with a tall broken section of masonry containing two dark arched openings and lower fragments of wall scattered to either side. A broad, recently cultivated field stretches across most of the scene, its faint furrows and changes in tone creating gentle diagonal lines leading towards the ruins. In the foreground, a rough verge is filled with dark brambles, grasses and tall dried stems. A simple wire fence runs across the lower part of the image, supported by irregular wooden posts, including a cluster of posts near the lower right corner. Beyond the field, a dark line of trees forms the distant horizon, particularly on the right. Above everything is a large, pale sky occupying almost half the photograph, with long soft bands of cloud sweeping horizontally across it. The bright open sky contrasts with the darker earth and vegetation below, while the ruined church appears isolated and fragile against the horizon. The overall scene is spacious and restrained, emphasising the relationship between the small surviving structure, the worked agricultural landscape and the immense sky.

Good thanks. Though been in a bit of a slump with the photography. Probably just the hot summer. Not been as bad as your way but too hot for me.
