A month in four photos. September 2026. #FourPhotosOneMonth Salves… 1.Electric storm - Seaburn. 2.Night Swimming - Georgeham. 3.Sunsets - Woolacombe. 4.And breathe - Whitburn.
Looking out to the dark sea at night, with just the tips of the waves visible. On the horizon a streak of bright orange from lightning.A garden swimming pool in low light with a cottage & trees in dark silhouette and a hot orange patch of sky as the sun sets. Looking out over the sea & headland from a high viewpoint as the sun begins to set.A single figure walking on a clear beach towards the edge of the sea under a big cloudy sky late in the evening.

Railway workers report the signal box at Lugford as haunted. Talk of a constant presence, of being scrutinised as they work. Talk of objects being moved, levers being pulled. Odd voices down the line. A place not haunted by dread, but by unwelcome intrusion. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Right strap in, bitches, I refuse to be the only person here to have seen the inside of Le Gast church. All the windows are made of the same functional yellow frosted glass, casting that morning urine sample light on everything, though in my other snaps my cameraphone insisted on adding more light.
A grey stone font, maybe octagonal, with a pot of artificial flowers on its wooden lid, stands in front of an arched window of frosted yellow glass. Just in the window alcove is a figure of a holy man in a surplice etc.Close-up of the holy man, lifting one hand in benediction. He has grey hair, a domed forehead, and what would probably be a kindly expression if he wasn't painted quite badly and doused in jaundiced light. Also the mould growing on the white blocks of the wall behind him doesnt helpJ-boy, also made in naif painted plaster. He wears a golden loincloth and looks peaceful, though considerable enthusiasm has been expended on the gouts of blood on his forearms. The church walls here particularly remind one of some public temple of convenienceLook I don't know who this mitred figure is but they are in the most dark-yellow corner of the church and they look horrified and a bit horrifying. The hem of their raiment is very scuffed and the wall around them is blotched.
