Solo camp at Millstone Point. Insulated wellies the footwear of choice! Chilly night, & dawn a bit subdued, but lovely views of an otter. Years ago, I was involved in the rescue of an otter cub who was rehabilitated, then released on this coast. Wonder if this little soul is one of her descendants?

A otter clambers on to a rock at the waters edge. A green tent on the shoreline lit up in the darkness by a headtorch inside the tent so it glows. The sky still has the faintest hints of purple.

I purchased image rights to original artwork for a movie poster of the 1964 film ‘The Fall of the Roman Empire’. I’ve adapted it into a photomontage featuring Trump, Musk, Vance and the rest of the wrecking crew.

Word of the day is ‘quafftide’ (16th century): the season for drinking. Also a pithy way of declaring that it’s time to relax. Works for hydropots (water drinkers) just as well.

Have any of you clever folks got any expertise in searching the National Archives / Lloyds Register? My tiny brain is about to melt! (I'm trying to find what a ship called Pass of Balmaha was up to in Aug/Sept 1914... 🤯) Thank you!

Claudia Steffensen was hiking in the Italian Alps in 2023 when something caught her eye. She stepped on a rock with a footprint embedded in it. Little did she know she had just uncovered a 280-million-year-old ecosystem. explorersweb.com/hiker-discov...

A curious hiker asked experts about some strange prints she saw embedded in a slab in the Italian Alps. The slab proved to be a door to a lost world.
