Been watching the French firefighters strike They do love a good protest. I always wonder: did the revolution provide a way of being that's resulted in centuries of protest, or did the attitude already there mean the revolution was inevitable (obviously with help from Icelandic volcanic ash clouds)

At the risk of sounding like Bob Mortimer, I went to the wedding of the person who introduced the blue smartie, and never spoke to him ever again.

This is just a fantastic story, summarised wonderfully by David Nihill. Do watch it, 2 minutes of how and why protest matters. youtube.com/shorts/O5yK7...

It's stopped raining and now Wester Ross has decided it's down with kids and showing us a lovely 1930s Art Deco sunburst. That's crepuscular rays innit
Cloudy sky over the sea hiding the sun but producing rays that go both down and up from the lower cloud.

Coastal view stilin', Wester Ross 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
4 step ladder stile over deer fence. So the gaps between the rungs are substantial. It's on a low hill overlooking the sea and island.

Big gate, small stile - for @lakesstiles.bsky.social on this final #StileSaturday of September. 2026... Photo: Edale, a couple of weeks ago 🥾 #Hiking #Edale #PeakDistrict
Landscape oriented,  3:2 image. 

A farm track in the foreground on the left.  It leads diagonally across the scene towards the upper right side of the frame. 

A dry stone wall runs parallel with it on the left.

Another wall extends at a right angle to the track from the right. This ends in a wide, metal farm gate across the track with six horizontal bars. Squeezed between the gate and the end of this second wall is a traditional wooden stile.

The background is a series of hills around a valley that lies below the track. There is also a plantation of trees on the right. The sky is covered in light grey cloud.

Stiler's eye view of the last (or first 🤦🤣) two rungs of a ladder stile.
View of photographer's feet in trainers placed on the lower 2 rungs of a ladder stile. The socks are foolishly light coloured given the terrain followed, but more sensibly shorts are sported
