Fabulous image! I'm not familiar with Harold Davis's work.
Whenever I see mist in the morning, I skip breakfast and head for my favourite pylon field. Mist on a cloud free day offers the most striking images.

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!

I was trying to take a picture of an aeroplane flying into a cloud lit by the setting sun when this happened!

More pictures of the fly loft. You can see some of the flies for Gisèle in pic 2. Pic 3 shows a rehearsal room. You may notice that the floor has a 5% gradient, which is the same as that of the stage. Pic 4 shows the famous underground reservoir, which was installed to protect the foundations.

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.

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.

Strange to see! My memory of Gustave Doré's work is his extraordinary use of colour. If in Paris, his home and studio is now a museum and well worth a visit.

I keep finding miniature frogs like this one - 2" long max - by the door inside our new extension. Here is number 4.
I now leave a glass and a piece of cardboard by the door to transport them back to the garden where they can continue with their important work for the Resistance.
French frogs, eh!
