Boulangerie – Terminé

This – really very good – boulangerie in the village has just closed down without notice and no indication of why. At least we still have the local superette (which used to be based in these premises – hence the ‘Viveco’ sign), where the bread was better anyway, although not quite a match when it came to patisserie.

Muscat’s Grand Mosque

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is to show an image of something large. It’s all relative of course, but if you notice the human figure on the lower left of this photo of the interior of the Grand Mosque in Muscat, Oman it’s pretty clear that it’s…well, Grand.

I’ve been framed

I do still have a ‘proper’ camera – it’s in the title of this blog – but nowadays it only comes out for special excursions. Smartphone cameras are now so good for normal occasions, and much more convenient than lugging around an old-school full camera kit all the time.

This is yours truly, hiding behind my iPhone 12.

Irresistible buds

The ants just can’t stay away from the juice that oozes from these buds.

A World Of pink

The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is certainly a broad one: ‘found in nature’. It’s almost harder to find something that isn’t.

All-Day Ovine Buffet

The commune in which we live consists mostly of agricultural land, principally for pasture and mainly for sheep. This particular field is adjacent to the village recycling point.

Cloudscape over Anstruther

The monochrome treatment certainly adds a lot of drama to this cloud formation, seen over the Scottish fishing village of Anstruther (pronounced ‘Anster’)
