I don't know if it's the recent cold nights at the caravan but I've already started thinking about Christmas. Today, warm n toasty at home, I've found my printer labels that I use to print the addresses for my Christmas cards.

Another view of the Hotel Portmeirion staircase but this time, from above. This one is through glass, which created some interesting aberrations that I decided to keep, with one exception, removed by AI. #photography #portmeirion

A far better day. Even the short walk to put out the recycling can be a real pleasure when greeted with warm sunshine and views like this.

A much more pleasant day, especially after rainy Saturday. Lovely to see the sunshine again, though there’s a chilly breeze. Astronomical Autumn begins tomorrow.

This is what I was up to ten years ago today. What an experience! #Banksy #Dismaland

My current view and it seems hotter than the 18°C on the weather app, which is also warning of thunderstorms and possible flooding today. Back from the village store and parked car on tarmac, instead of the grass next to my caravan… just in case.

After yesterday's visit by the gardeners, I'd brought in a fair bit of outside into the caravan on my shoes, so decided to hoover it up. This then developed into a polishing and dusting fest. Quite hot and tired now on this muggy day but pleased I got it done.

Happy 20th Birthday, Iron Men! ‘Another Place’ by Antony Gormley was put on display at Crosby beach, Merseyside, on 1st July 2005. It was decided that it should be made a permanent installation on 7th March 2007. My photo taken on 3rd September 2013. #photography #gormley #art #anotherplace

Had a play with Lightroom's new Distraction Removal tool for people. It's not perfect (yet!) but very impressive and so quick to do.

Happy Summer Solstice everyone and Solstice Blessings to those who celebrate this time of the year. Ah well, give it another week and we can then go back to moaning about the nights drawing in. 😉

Well, the temperature in the caravan reached 35°C (95°F) this afternoon. It’s now a still toasty 33°C. I’ve coped pretty well considering I’m not a fan of hot weather.

Been spending an afternoon playing with the various settings on my new camera. Although it’s supposed to be “entry level”, there are still a lot of options buried away in the settings, some I’ll use and others I’ll make sure are switched off.

An old cast iron street sign and a shop sign painted directly onto the brick wall. This shop contained the Queensferry Post Office for over 120 years. It closed in 2015 and has been a number of different types of shop since. Literally signs of bygone times.

Not too bad a day, weather wise but rain and cloud came in later. Getting cooler too. #photography

A lovely day out with friends who picked me up and took me to lunch at Castell Deudraeth, followed by a walk around Portmeirion. Good company, food and sunshine in my favourite place. 😊

1 shot, 3 treatments, all in the Leica Lux app on my iPhone 15Pro. The VIVID treatment is closer to what you’d get straight out of the iPhone, though I’m enjoying the warm tones of BRASS. The GREGG WILLIAMS version produces a proper monochrome look, complete with grain. #LeicaLux #Photography

Went shopping at Corwen and Llandrillo today. On my way back I played “Spot the McLaren”. Here’s a few.

When I come to the caravan for the first time in any season, there's a lot to bring with me. Most of it is now here but I did manage to leave my USB fast charger plug. Of course, I have others but lower charge rate. I'll just have to sit back, enjoy the scenery and be patient. 😊

It’s a little scary but this isn’t the first time that I’ve arrived at my caravan in hot sunshine and within a very short time, it’s rained heavily. Still, when you get rewarded with a double rainbow, it really doesn’t matter 😊

Alan Jones @alanjonesphoto.bsky.social · 13/05/2025
Lovely to be back at my caravan in the Berwyn mountains. A few irritating things still need sorting on it but they’ll get done (hopefully!). Weather ranged from hot sunshine to a couple of brief downpours.

I was deeply honored to meet President Zelensky via Zoom when he asked me to become an ambassador for UNITED24 to raise funds for surveillance drones. I'm proud to have walked this road with @u24.gov.ua to support the sovereign nation of 🇺🇦 & so grateful to all who have donated! 🙏❤️👍 #SlavaUkraine

Not my best photo and not a first for me, a photo across the fields at my caravan but it’s the first panorama I’ve made using my camera instead of my iPhone. No “stitching” in software, the camera does it all.

Nine days after my camera and lens issues, I’m up and running again. Tempting fate, I’ve repeated the photos of the same model car and everything is still intact. It’s an IXO 1/43 La Storia Ferrari 156 F1, Italian Grand Prix, Monza 1961 (Phil Hill 1st). #photography #modelcars
