I’ve been ill this past week or so, but am feeling better now. It was one of those bugs that alter reality, high temperatures and blocked head putting me in a strange, dream-like state where I wasn’t sure, at times, what was real and what was not. My dreams were strange as well, lucid thenContinue reading “Kaleidoscopic Dreams”

Wednesday Wander – Haiti
This is a photograph of a ruined brothel on the shores of a pristine bay in Haiti, which comprises the western half of the island of Hispaniola. I visited Haiti briefly nearly thirty years ago and, I have to be honest, had a fairly sanitised experience in my short time there. Nonetheless, I was struckContinue reading “Wednesday Wander – Haiti”

Thursday Doors – St Mary’s Church
This is one of the entrance doors into St Mary’s Church, Hemel Hempstead. I love the colour of the wood and the curling ironwork hinges, reminiscent of the more ornate doors at Notre Dame, Paris. St Mary’s Church is in Hemel Hempstead, England. It is a Norman building, built between 1140 and 1180, and hasContinue reading “Thursday Doors – St Mary’s Church”
