Mostly to be found obsessively learning languages, reading or gardening (in the far north of Scotland).
'Cliffs, South Stack, Anglesey.' The darkness implicit in so many of Kyffin Williams's mountain landscapes was a facet of his own make-up. He recognised in it the Celtic tendency to melancholy and that a certain despair and gloom were the logical sequel to his epileptic seizures.

In Llanbedr Church, near Crickhowell, S Wales. Taken in 2012 when we were walking The Beacons Way. Beautiful window (on a VERY rainy day—we were togged up in all our waterproofs)!

Four years before John Constable painted this in 1821, John Keats was writing about 'Negative Capability: 'when man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts without any irritable reaching after fact & reason.' This is what negative capability looks like in paint.

Went out to Anamori-inari today. Just a few stops on the Keikyu Line from our place. Light was beautiful. Had some slow time, shooting with the Hasselblad 503CW and CFV50c back. A setup with eccentricities, for sure. So it makes me shoot very differently.
Night night
Luv&peace

Will definitely be checking this book out after watching Robbie's review on Marginal Reads! Even though written in the 60s, looks so relevant to today.

Found another real estate gem, in London this time.
It's gorgeous, like a time capsule.
The front door alone is magical, you'd imagine bumping into Victorian street urchins some foggy evening.
The building is over 300 years old, lets go inside.

Looking out of the window this morning, a cloud inversion over Loch Shin makes it look as though there is a greater body of water there!
