Caught this industrious chap in the evening light.
Week 3 after quitting my day job. I had better hurry up and find another one, the planning committee is starting to come up with chores that need doing around the house. At least the dress code here is more relaxed than at most workplaces. Naturism has the best outfits for home decorating.

Met up with some people from the Hastings Beginners Photo Quest to try Astro Photography, but the cloud conspired against us. Making the best of the poor conditions, a bit of trial and error, some lessons learned and a whole lot of laughter with a great group of people I now consider friends.

Naturists have a philosophical belief that the naked body is inherently non-sexual, yet social media treats all nudity as sexually explicit and blocks it.
Imagine if religious beliefs, symbols or texts were automatically blocked? How much outrage would there be?
