I’m loving being here on BlueSky all the art challenges have really forced me to expand and stretch my art, especially my photography. Like today on our walk I was keeping an eye out for “unloved” themes. Like this broken compass. But I don’t like the shadow so I probably won’t use it 🤷‍♂️

My old : William Walton : Coronations.

My mother was a huge Anglophile and she had this album with the two marches. Both of which I really like. The cover also has an old fashioned simple design.
