Back to the beach, again! With the North Sea Observatory and the wind turbines it could almost be another planet.

National Monument
Cottam power station has been decommissioned and the turbine hall demolished. Should at least one of these structures be preserved? They are a monument to the 20th century, and the folly of an age of fossil fuel that has brought us to the virtual destruction of the planet as we know it. Seen in a more romantic light they are also a kind of modern Stonehenge. Almost unimaginable structures that dominate the landscape like no other structure.
Having a Laugh
So, I have been researching English romantic painting and it’s roots. Also, for a bit of laugh messing around with some of my images in Photoshop. The idea of a stainless steel Viking ship on a disused railroad in the English countryside sounds more like the fevered dream of an AI bot. Yet here it is – please don’t laugh too loud…
I’m back
It’s been almost a year and my mojo has finally returned. The past year I have continued to wander the landscape like some sort of misdirected pilgrim.
So, here we go again – NATIONAL LANDSCAPE is the latest chapter of Jerusalem. It’s black and white, back to basics! I was always happier with black and white. How can it seem more natural than colour? I guess there’s some irony there given the subject of the project. You might get that better when you read on. Find out more here…
Taking a break
I have been doing this blog for eight years now, time for a reset and a break.
Until I return take a look through the archive on the right.
Back soon-ish…
The World revolves around Cleethorpes
“Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers show that the marking strip for the prime meridian at Greenwich is not exactly at zero degrees, zero minutes, and zero seconds but at approximately 5.3 seconds of arc to the west of the meridian (meaning that the meridian appears to be 102.478 metres east)”. (Wikipedia)
I hope the strip at Cleethorpes is a little more accurate otherwise it will be in the sea.

Topiary at Clipsham.
Wasps Nest
I photographed this old phone box at Wasps Nest [sic] a few years back. It has recently been restored and turned into a local history, picnic place and charity box.
Users of holes
A few more signs from recent walks…
I’d love to hear from anyone who can tell me how the holes are used?
