#UrbanGaze - A street view of Wenzhou, China. Notice the large church to the rear left of the image. Religion is not banned in #China despite the anti-China mythmakers saying so. Also notice the space quite different from the crowded dystopian apartments blocks usually shown by said "commentators"

As we head into the Chinese winter (temps still in the 20's C here in Wenzhou but will get cold soon) The always stunning fields of rape seed flowers (Canola) remind us that spring is not too far away. #stunday #phonetography #yellow

A large italianate style church looms large over a river in Wenzhou, China, giving lie to the myth that religion is banned in #China #scape

When people tell you about the "polluted air" in China, show them this picture of a November (16th) sky, pure #blue not a cloud to be seen. This is where I live Ouhia District, Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province. #BlueSkyMonday - The white building is the #Tesla Showroom and workshop.

Sunset over the montains of Wenzhou, China. The valley filled with smoke from the autumn burn-off in the fields. #MountainMonday #ClassicMono #China #phonetography

Daoist (Taoism) temples in China are fantatsic example of local Folk Art. Everyone we visit is stunning. A continued traditon of over 2,500 years - this is the one we visited today - its just down the road from us. #Stunday #art #artyear #eastcoastkin #religion #China #taoism #daoism #folkart

Having a Sunday nap I have to make sure there's enough room for one of the cats, who now the weather/room is getting chillier, has decided that the sofa is now for sharing. I have to wedge my legs to the right to accommodate him. #cat #cats

One of my larger artworks sold. The first one really, after a year of showing my work. Here in China my smaller works do sell but to sell bigger at a higher price is more difficult. This is acrylic on recycled cardboard (another hard sell) in a clear perspex frame. #art #artyear #eastcoastkin #dog

Ive been gettin many emails from Book Clubs, Agents, Publishers, Book Marketers about my book. Apparently they love it. But I don't seem to have sold one recently despite its 5⭐️ Maybe they borrowed one from a friend or library?

You might like it too (Xmas!) (C ALT)

Yes, my (late) Brother-in-Law George Brodie,
Yeoman Serjeant, was Master of The Keys and he did that for many years. Because he and my sister lived inside the Tower of London. Myself and my wife were lucky enough to be able to stay with them for a few day on many occasion inside the gates.
