A rare image of the lesser spotted @mainlymono.bsky.social, in Bradgate park, nr Leicester, yesterday. Delightful day. A tonic.

In recognition of my younger brother, Marcus, who would have been 53 today. He died in Dec 2024, at the age of 51, from cancer. This was taken in Oct 2005, before a Real Mallorca home game we went to. I prefer to remember him as a gentle soul, like this, before the disease took its toll ...

One of those quiet days in the office, where you open up Photoshop and try out a few things on a recent photo. One is 'photocopy' filter, the other is 'posterize'. I taught @mainlymono.bsky.social everything he knows about image manipulation ... 😉

Lovely day with @mainlymono.bsky.social yesterday. He truly is a man outstanding in his field. Don't call him mellow yellow ... 😉

What I am calling 'Sammy the Crab' - Cha Am beach - 17 Feb 2026 - took a Grab taxi from my apartment in Hua Hin to this interesting town about 15 miles away.

An old steam locomotive at the old Hua Hin railway station - image edited - with a fine historic waiting room to the left of the image that, as I understand, only royalty were allowed to use. Not for plebs like me ...

Retired recently, then spent 7 weeks in Hua Hin, Thailand. Apologies to my adoring fans for not posting much of late ... 😄 ... Several photos may appear here over the next few weeks of the trip, some photoshopped, some not ... this one of the resort where I stayed ... unedited

Walking through the park in Hitchin a couple of weeks ago, and was mesmerized by this natural red leaf display. Flaming fall foliage flourishes for fellows fascination, figuratively a-fore foto ...? (OK, you try making an alliterative sentence with F's ... without swearing ... not easy ...)😉

Lovely day out on Saturday with @mainlymono.bsky.social - visions of Burton on Trent - and Daniel Porter playing a solo set at Stanfest - and Arsenal won - and I had Kung Po Chicken for dinner - and a home cinema experience

I snapped the snapper, which makes me the greatest snapper of all ... boastful? me? ... anyway, lovely day out with @mainlymono.bsky.social on Saturday, in the delightful town of Market Harborough, with toasties and 'bob' cakes and gentlemanly conduct ...

And you thought Trump was the orangeman ..! This from Nov 2021 in Lithuania, at a national symbol/castle, called Trakai. They dont teach that Lithuania once ruled half of Europe in UK history lessons, but maybe they should. One day, I'll return. A trek to Trakai beckons ...

From the archives, I believe in 2010, cropped and posterized photo of a jetty on Lac Leman at Geneva. An expensive place to visit, but hey, I'm worth it ... 😉 ... seems insane that this was 15 years ago.

How much better would this world be if there were indeed 10 Kens, instead of just one? Points for guessing the city. Image taken 1 Dec 2018.

Walking around, minding my own business, in Clerkenwell, London yesterday, and came across outdoor chess gathering. Had to get down on my knees for this shot. How we suffer for our art..! Was on the 'threshold' of playing, but opted out (a clever reference to one of the images)... I'm wasted here...

Rare blue sky morning in Moffat, D&G, Scotland last week. Towards the end of my morning walk, came across this lovely park, with view of hills in background. Quite pleased with this 'snap' ...📷

Is it St Patrick's Day yet? What do you mean, no ...? Don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry ... 😉

Wishing my good friend @mainlymono.bsky.social a wonderful day, on this significant day. He's got a ticket to ride, as the Beatles almost sang ...

A cropped and sepia'd image from Aug 2024, which speaks of generations of class divide and rules in the UK. Quite proud of this snapshot in time. But where in the UK was this taken? The clue is in there somewhere. You might just need to reflect on your answer ... 😄

Was in Tesco this morning for a few provisions - yes, today, Sat 4th Jan - do these retailers never stop pushing merchandise for events so far in the future? - Easter is Apr 20th this year - 15 weeks away ... 😞

A recent picture taken in Balgay cemetery in Dundee, looking west over the Tay. Was searching for the resting place of Scotland's greatest male singer, which I eventually found.
