The new car
Posted on February 2, 2023
One of our near neighbours is something of a car enthusiast. Given that the most common form of automotive transport in these parts is a small white panel van, this turquoise Porsche Carrera is pretty much guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.

There’s a metal five-barred gate that allows tractors to get into the fields behind our house. It’s secured by this bolt, as seen on a very frosty morning.

This quirky and unusual chandelier hangs in the foyer of a hotel in Toulouse.

Madame made this at a glass-making workshop. Together with its companion pieces it adorns our terrace.

I took this photograph at Al Ain Zoo, in the United Arab Emirates. A bog-standard common duck may seem out of place surrounded by all manner of exotic fauna, but its feathers are nothing to be ashamed of.

This baby lamb was intrigued as we walked past their field about half a mile from our house (humans are vastly outnumbered by sheep in these parts).
The tangled undergrowth and monochrome treatment gives an almost abstract feel to the overall image.
