Tonight there is a supermoon!

This happens when the moon is at its perigee or closest to us in its egg-shaped orbit around the Earth. During a supermoon, it looks bigger and brighter than normal.

If you usually grow hair on your back and howl at the full moon, tonight should be a biggie for you!

Sunset from behind a bush
The sun sets behind a line of trees, then broken clouds just above the horizon. In the foreground, a bush without foliage forms an out of focus silhouette over the entire frame like curious tendrils invading the frame. There is a row of cheap, modern house right under the sun. To the left of the tree, a water tower and a white car are visible.

I was trying to take a picture of an aeroplane flying into a cloud lit by the setting sun when this happened!
A bank of clouds lit by the sun just before sunset. There is the condensation trail of an aeroplane flying towards the cloud in the background. A huge flock of birds is flying through the frame and each bird appears as a tiny silhouette.

Sunset over the Loire river from the Chaumont-sur-Loire castle
Another sunset! The clouds, lit by the setting sun, reflect in the Loire river on the right while trees with leaves of differing shades of russet and yellow fill the left side.

Cobwebs in the morning dew
A cobweb on a wooden gate. The water droplets cling to the strands and draw them downwards. The shape of the cobweb is quite chaotic under this weight.

I was given a personal tour of the Opéra Garnier in Paris yesterday, where 5000 people are employed. It seats 1500, but only 800 get a good view of the stage, which stretches back 50m. The fly loft is 40m high. 3 operas play in rotation, as singers cannot perform on consecutive evenings.

Sylvester, my twin, isn't allowed out much but when he does go out, he does it in style!

Fatma Hassona never left Gaza. She documented life under constant bombing by Israel. Her pictures show people, like herself, trying to survive in horrific conditions, exhibiting both her talent and her humanity.

I went to see this yesterday. It remains one of the most difficult and haunting films I've seen in a cinema.

Sepideh Farsi's film consists mostly in a series of broken conversations filmed off her phone with a young photojournalist living in Gaza.

A moving testament to Fatma Hassona's humanity.
The poster for a film about Fatma Hassona. We see the title. which is a quote from Fatma, PUT YOUR SOUL ON YOUR HAND AND WALK. The poster shows a young shrouded woman with a broad smile. It's a film that has had a greater effect in memory than in viewing. It's frustrating to see the conversation between Farsi and Hassona broken up by the poor internet connection. What was an inconvenience in the cinema become a moving testament to Farsi's engagement with, and respect for, her subject. It's hard to fathom the strength of spirit that Fatma displays while describing the deaths of so many of her family during to Israeli air strikes. Besides, her pictures are really good.

Leaf at my feet

As the morning sun rises in the forest, bands of sunlight are projected on the ground. I spent the morning looking for things in these bands.

When I saw thick mist this morning, I grabbed my camera and ran for the door. I staked out this pylon for about an hour. The sun was trying to shine through the mist, which produced this unusual glow!
