Love this slide from Omar Idris (at Design Swansea)

Coastal path somewhere in between Mewslade and Overton.
View of rocky cove surrounded by cliffs. It’s early morning and the sky is grey but clearing and brighter in the distance.

Worst captcha ever?
An icon is presented to the user on the left. On the right a series of scrambled icons are presented. The user has to cycle through the scrambled ones to find a match. Both sides are made difficult to see.

Apple weather thinks Bristol is in Wales. Speaking on behalf of the whole nation, we’d be happy to have you.

6 hour train journey to Birmingham 😭 At least I made a friend.

The Bear on Disney+ is so beautifully shot. Somehow they can even make a crappy online document signing portal look cinematic. (S4:E2)

Adding Oxwich Bay to my list of Swansea and Gower beaches. www.benjystanton.co.uk/blog/visitin...
A wooden barrel sauna on a trailer on the beach. The tide is out in the background and it's cloudy.

Epic weekend rambling around Gower.
Two people walk away from the camera with hoods up. Stepping over yellow and green gorse bushes. Hills, sea, sun and clouds in the distance.

Also went to Hunts Bay which is the next beach over to the east.
Looking down a wide sweeping valley to a rocky bay. The sky is grey but there are nice muted tones of red, green and blue.

Finally managed to visit a new #Gower beach. (Didn’t manage any in 2024.) www.benjystanton.co.uk/blog/visitin...
Rocky cove at sunrise. The sun is behind the cliff so the rocks are dark but the sky is blue and there is a orange glow on the horizon. The tide is high.
