Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business.

This photograph is currently listed as an "unknown location". Can anyone help us identify where this may have been? I suspect that these buildings may no longer exist. This was probably taken in the early 1960s.

I am being diverted here but this is important - my great aunt caught polio and had to walk using a caliper for the rest of her life - and she was probably one of the lucky ones. Immunisation works.
