Here’s some from Paris. This was from a group of maquis (various factions), trying to dislodge the SS from some buildings on Boulevard St Michel.

You also find this type of repair. The Brandenburg Gate took a hammering because of it being a landmark. It was important to capture. A huge amount of damage was inflicted on it. Much was patched by masons, you can clearly see this on a lot of the pillars. Smaller holes are filled with composite.

This is almost opposite, a low corner. What is particularly fascinating here is the angle of impact from a corner further up the street, and there’s two angles, so either shots taken by one person who moved, or two vantage points suppressing someone on a corner. Plus other assorted small arms.

A few photos of how history pops through the slickness of the now. This is a corner in the Museumincel area. The Red Army advanced through here towards the civic district of Berlin in 1945. There’s quite a few bullet impacts still in evidence including some quite large calibre.

Still does my head in every time I encounter it. The displays also echo the shape and layout of the blocks above, an awful echo. It’s quite overwhelming. Here the lit blocks in the floor, each with notes and stories hastily scribbled to loved ones, Also hanging black displays of individual stories.

Bit more context now I’ve got over how intense that was. This is the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. It’s quite disorientating and overwhelming in itself. Then you go into the remains of the bunker…

Rare sighting of a strange mythical creature steeped in Norfolk folklore. Stranger than Black Shuck, it’s the Bagman of Cantley.

Boundary
Ovillers, Somme, France.
Formed in 16 days from 1/7/1916, expanded during the battlefield clearances. It sits on the downward slope of the rise. I first saw it through some trees, white laced chalk staining from trenches dug here, a ghost in the soil until the crops push through.

The exact dimensions of hell
High Wood, Longueval, Somme, France.
Visible for miles, perched as it is. You orientate yourself in the landscape, road signs, names drifts in and out, Delville, Bazentin, Montaubon and Trones, a grisly memory list, a shipping forecast of danger, extinction and loss.

Sausage Valley
La Boisselle, Somme, France.
Named after a German observation balloon which hung over the valley. Taken facing the British lines, the spires of Albert visible. The valley the other side is called Mash Valley. I could hear countless larks, saw one drop raglike to the field.

Today’s cactus is the first in a while because I ran out of space, but I sold one of my children, so now there’s room for more. It’s a Myrtillocactus geometrizans (blue myrtle cactus, or blue candle). Grows big, branches eventually, this one has twice already hence buying it. Homeland is Mexico.

The Sad Angel of Kemmel
Heuvelland, Western Flanders.
Perched on a glaciated mound of sand and gravel. Starkly beautiful. The trees block her view – south the coal of Lens, north the sweep of the plain towards Ypres. Down a steep climb, towards the Ossuary – over 5,000 poilu, only 57 identified.

Road to Devil’s Wood
Longueval, Somme, France.
While I was here the rising warmth made the ghosts eddy, I thought of John Abigail, he fought at Delville with the Norfolks. His family came from near Bromholm, moved to Norwich. John was shot at Dawn. His name on the memorial in St Augustines church.

Another series of prints. This one is Vanishing Points, shot between 2012 and 2017 on the Western Front.
Lost Light
Bernafay Wood, Montauban, Somme, France.
The wood is full of pits and hollows below the brambles and bracken. A haunted and haunting woodland tracts in a flowing landscape.

Got two, which I’ve had for a few years, ordered another yesterday. They actually do the job and don’t look hideous.

Fairly mammoth soft restoration project is nearing completion. It’s cleaned, refreshed, solid, and midway through having way too many drawer says put back in. All bar three were missing. Fantastic object looking far better than when it entered the building.

Happisburgh

I found a Neolithic scraper here, I have a small collection of flints already found at the bottom of the cliffs, Palaeolithic cores and scrapers from the blue clay. Old, with touch, alive still somehow.

Corbin
Somewhere near the Skeena River
British Columbia
2017
Corbin was our guide, we went by boat up a tributary of the Skeena to watch bears and moose and so on. It rained a bit and was deadly beautiful, a charmed piece of more or less untouched wilderness.

Storm edge
West Runton/Doggerland
2018.
A day in the July heat spent fossil hunting. A storm rolled in across the lost Doggerland plain. Huge threaded cumulonimbus growing suddenly over the sea and across the cliffs. The finale, mammatus formed on the underside, then the sky cracked and it rained.
