My son wanted this for a few minutes until he decided it was a Blur t-shirt and not a Gorillaz one!

This was directly underneath your post on my feed… I struggle with people talking at concerts. How you managed not to “cause an incident”, I’ll never know. I’d have gone ballistic!

This is Irish band Beoga. They have just lost a massive opportunity by leaving the Ed Sheeran US Tour in support of Macklemore. If you can give them any support, please give it a thought… 🙏
Beoga, an Irish band with principles.

Objects may appear smaller in your rear view mirror… Time to move forward #MercatorIsOver

And a few eclipse photos that went wrong but somehow came out as beautiful images. A lesson there for us all, I feel...

So, I'm late to the party (as ever) but I had to wait to get home to take my photos off the "good" camera... They're not great but they're mine. An experience that went far, far beyond my furthest expectations.

Time to say that my experience of flying to Spain to see one of the most amazing spectacles in nature was somewhat tempered flying over said country this morning…
Spain is parched and burned this summer. Travelling there for over 30 years. Never seen it so bad…

This is a brown lake surrounded by burnt hills. Black, grey and pale ochre. Devastating.

When you come to Valencia for the eclipse and this is outside your window…

57 years to discover that there is such a thing as a Vampire Deer... I'm home...
A Siberian Musk Deer looking at the camera. To my anthropic eyes, it is the strangest mix of sorrow and weariness and massive fucking teeth! Also, it's ear is a bit mangled, presumably from fighting other vampire deer...The skull of a Siberian Musk Deer. Its teeth are very large. Well, the two fangs at the front are...
