(Please) let there be light
(It’s been grey and gloomy all day)
A brick wall and external light that points lighting both up and down. The overall image is dark, with some brightness seen where the light casts its magic.

Literal signage is literally literal.

A water utility cover in the pavement, observed from near ground level. The patterned grid surrounds a circle in which the word ‘water’ is embossed. The entire cover is damp, and the circle contains a small puddle of water.

The more I look at it, the more confused I become
A black plush receptacle in the form of a black cat’s head, left among children’s board games on the side of the pavement. Random pieces of black plush piping can be seen inside the cat head. The face is made up of black and white eyes, looking toward the top right of the picture; an orange nose, three blue whiskers on each side, and an orange circle under each eye, the relevance of which is unclear.

Remember to season your food

A weathered and scratched frying pan that has been left outside. A bright pink clothes peg has been used to attach a green sprig of fir tree to the inside of the pan, near the handle.

Symmetry. But not.
A brick wall, with a black square drain pipe down the centre of the image. Ivy obscures the bottom of the pipe, with more foliage on the left hand side of the picture. In the top third of the image, symmetrical vents can be seen: two smaller near the pipe and two larger vents with their own pipes further out and slightly lower.

One of these things is not like the others
A child’s pink pom-pom woven hat sits on top of a brick wall. The softness of the hat contrasts against the hardness of the weathered bricks.

Juxtaposition
A square picture. A quarter of a car’s dirty silver hub cap takes over the majority of the bottom left side of the picture. The top right of the picture shows green ferns and random shrubbery.

I've written a piece for the @econ-observatory.bsky.social on the history of GDS. Notably, why you need change both top down and bottom up incentives if you're aiming to help a large, federated organisation adopt radical change.

Street. Light.
A darkened street with old brick properties. The glass of a street lamp is glowing, illuminated from behind rather than being lit by a bulb. The sky is bright, tinted blue with some wispy clouds.

The Lantern Tower doing it’s thing 🤩
Looking up at Ely Cathedral Lantern Tower. Sun is bright behind and to the right in the photograph, which is causing the stained glass in the tower to illuminate.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Too busy preening to swan around
The white of a swan, preening the lower part of its neck, stands out against a tree and shrubbery in a black-and-white photo.

Quivering, not quavering!
A dark red glove is stuck on a stone-built wall. Toward the bottom right, above a black metal air grille, a dark outline that looks like a musical quaver can be seen.
