A small pocket of light on an autumnal Hyde Park tree. #sharemondays2025 #phonepic
A gnarly, autumnal tree, with a small amount of sunlight picking out some of the changing colours.

Looking askance. #sharemondays2025
A large graffitied mural of a chicken appearing to look balefully round the corner of a building at a fast food chicken joint.

Oystercatcher and Curlew. The latter resolutely ignoring the former’s shenanigans. #sharemondays2025
Two wading birds (curlew on left, intently hunting for dinner, oystercatcher on right shaking its wings, as if (sorry for anthropomorphism) describing the size of its last catch).

A marble floor of geometrical loveliness.
A mono shot of a marble Italian church floor from the duomo in Urbino; the sheer precision of both the selection of shade and the laying of the slabs gives rise to a sense of 3d.

Castle in the air. #sharemondays2025
A phone snap of San Marino’s tower no 1, a castle perched on a very vertiginous cliff. Blue sky behind and the red rooves of the town at the bottom of the cliff just visible.

New album out today…. Some hopefully interesting stuff including a great completion by the excellent @bernardhughes.bsky.social of an undiscovered work by Britten. #brassmusic. Thanks to the @rcmlondon.bsky.social research department for all the support.
The album cover for the new Onyx Brass album, out today. An ICM picture of the sea at dusk taken by me.

A nice poem from 1943 by the composer Paul Hindemith. #poetry #music
The old is good not just because it's past, nor is the new supreme because we live with it, and never yet a man felt greater joy than he could bear or truly comprehend. Your task it is, amid confusion, rush, and noise to grasp the lasting, calm, and meaningful, and finding it anew, to hold and treasure it.

Just pre-sunrise, into the woods. #bluebells #photography
A path through the woods, surrounded by bluebells, with some verdant spring green at the back of the shot. Quite dark
