Loving how this measure is not just attributed to Labour, but to Starmer’s Labour.

Decorating graves is out of control in the local cemetery. Or maybe this is the new normal? #Leeds #Yorkshire #Snow #Lumix

Ireland Wood, Leeds. The area was named in the nineteenth century for the Irish who came to England to build canals. Today it is a tiny wild forest.

Quite a lot actually, and gone some way to repairing the fourteen years of horror from the Tories. And more to come.

A pie chart showing the final result of the 2024 US presidential election in order to show an elderly relative that the biggest group by far were non-voters. This was the only one I could find from when the count was at 97%. Is there a final version or has it been suppressed by the oligarchs?

Portugal has issued a special €2,025 note to celebrate the new year.

Banknotes folded to read as if it is a Euro note of 2,025 Euros.

It is done as a joke.

Shot with Ricoh Digital II (2007) raw, edited in Snapseed. I save the settings in Snapseed as a ‘’look”, sometimes it works to my taste, sometimes not. But the fun is in the trying.

GRIII & GRIIIx users - if you can be bothered I would really appreciate to learn your in-camera image control settings. I’m finding it hard to get the same results as I get with my ancient GR Digital II in raw and then Snapseed.

No coincidence that The Doll in last night’s opera from the Met, Tales of Hoffman, just happened to be wearing a crown that looked like the corporate sponsor, Rolex’s, symbol. Anyway, marvellous performance from Erin Morley as Olympia.
