In South Africa's Cape Peninsula, a wave crashes against a cliff, in one of the world's highest impact zones. Freak waves occur rarely, but patience was rewarded and it came straight at my camera, exploding at least 5 m above sea level! #bluesky #photography #landscapephotography #nature #landscape
Enjoying a little shade this afternoon... π Actually it wasn't sunny all day - we had a few light and fleeting rain showers! Better than nothing, I suppose...

With a few rare exceptions, the only coin minted from around AD 780 - 1279 was the penny. Fractions were simply the penny cut in half or quarters. These are my three oldest Penny, Cuthred king of Kent, 798-807 Halfpenny, Cnut, 1029-1037 Farthing, Aethelred II, 997-1003

Called the 'Magnet centre' after the family that owned the land. odd nik-nak and dress shops... ...and in the mid-90s briefly, hidden at the back, the town's first comic shop. we discovered it as teens. it was like finding heaven /1
A few more from Worm's Head last week. With no manmade path, crossing the causeway means picking your way between rock pools, over uneven rocks encrusted with barnacles and mussels. A truly wild walk! Yet this isolated spot abounds with wildflowers, butterflies, bees, and songbirds π #miniadventures

Absolutely gorgeous clouds this morning here in Glastonbury shortly after sunrise. π

Earlier this month in Greenland. Overcast skies give all the ice this blue tones.
Morning Bluesky. Another blazing 32Β° day forecast here, but life has been non-stop since our holiday and I'm looking forward to hiding indoors, resting, and catching up with myself at last. Might even put away the camping gear...
Neuroaesthetics is a growing area of research showing that seeking out & engaging with images & things we find beautiful each day can significantly improve mental health-my photo of dried flowers is some neuroaesthetics for your brain. Also spot the dried viola/tiny pansy...
