A black-and-white photograph captures a narrow urban street or alleyway from a low angle near the ground. On the left, old stone buildings with white-framed windows and doorways line the street; on the right, a row of parked cars follows the pavement. The textured surface reflects light dramatically, and the perspective leads toward a distant building with a chimney, framed by hills in the background. Strong contrast and deep shadows enhance the sense of depth and atmosphere.

That pesky evidence getting in the way. It's all so much easier if you pretend it doesn't exist.

Yesterday Nigel Farage again pledged to scrap the default 20mph policy if Reform is in power in Wales

I asked Dan Thomas (Reform’s new Welsh leader) about police collision figures (Jan ‘25) showing around 100 fewer deaths/serious injuries on 20/30mph roads in the year after the limit was introduced

Polaroid-style photograph showing the front of a vintage red Alfa Romeo. The shot centres on the grille and round Alfa Romeo Milano badge, with the radiator cap and curved bonnet visible. The background is softly blurred, showing a beach and the sea beyond.

In victory, there is no defeat; in defeat, there is only one way up.

Black-and-white photograph of a lone silhouetted figure seated in an airport terminal, surrounded by empty chairs. Strong sunlight cuts across the floor, creating sharp geometric shadows against the dark interior, evoking solitude and reflection.

I watched the first episode of #Industry S4 last night and I can confirm that I still can't really tell what they're talking about most of the time.

The Geometry of Waiting
#llandudno #photography
A nearly empty seaside car park sits beside a beach with wet sand and distant coastal hills. Painted lines mark parking spaces, and a single car is parked near the shore. Yellow and red metal frames, height restriction barriers and signage supports, stand upright. Parking signs are visible, and the ground appears damp from recent rain. The sky is overcast, creating a quiet, subdued atmosphere.

Seems as though they have laid off their entire photography staff. Photojournalists don’t just take photos, we report, we pitch, we take photos while our lives and safety are under threat. We explore our neighborhoods, restaurants and sports with a creative eye. Photojournalists do it all.

Washington Post laid off many of their staff photographers, too. Which seems missing from a lot of coverage I’ve read.

Tesco sorry for putting up Welsh bilingual signs in Cornwall
Tesco sorry for putting up Welsh bilingual signs in Cornwall
Campaigners say they appreciate attempt to use Cornish but mistake points to need for more access to language Shoppers in Cornwall could have been forgiven for feeling bemused after a supermarket put up bilingual signs – in Welsh. A branch of Tesco in Helston – about 200 miles from south Wales by road – pointed shoppers towards pysgod, which is Welsh, not Cornish, for fish. It also labelled sweet potato as tatws melys – again Welsh instead of Cornish. Continue reading...

Vatican appears to order removal of restored painting that looked like Italian PM after embarrassing debacle The face of a winged angel bearing a striking resemblance to the Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni has been erased from a fresco in a historic Rome church, putting an end to a debacle that embarrassed the Vatican. The image on the wall painting in a chapel of the Basilica of St Lawrence in Lucina in central Rome was removed overnight, leaving the cherub headless. Continue reading...

A blue wall with various drain pipes. The side of a building, mostly white with a blue section at the bottom. A sign reads Vardre Lane. An alley with a blue door at the far end. A blue door, a patch of sunlight lights up a section of it.

When you spot your very first mejiro of the season, it is very important to jump up and down while squealing メジロだ、メジロだ〜 so that everyone knows you’re normal.
Omg omg a mejiro. Exceedingly green and white around the eyes hence the name. Gazing up into very blue sky. White plum blossoms in the foreground. The blossoms in the back form sort of a pink and white bokeh confetti against the blue sky that is pleasing to me.

BREAKING: This is Richard Carrington, the first person to document solar flares on the Sun & suggest their influence on aurora at Earth. The largest solar storm on record, the Carrington Event, bares his name. But, there has been no photograph available of Carrington – until now!

A black-and-white close-up photograph of seaweed with elongated, glossy fronds featuring rounded nodules aligned along the central veins. The high contrast and detailed textures highlight the organic structure and surface sheen, creating a visually striking composition that blends botanical intricacy with artistic abstraction.

It has long been rumoured that part of #Conwy was still in the EU... I think I may have found it.
Weathered sign mounted on a metal pole in an outdoor wooded area, surrounded by tree branches and a blue sky. The sign features two European Union flags, one on each side, but the central surface is heavily marked with rust, dirt, and possible impact damage, obscuring any original text or graphics.
