December surf on the beach at Eastbourne

Big wave from the English Channel crashes on the beach in front of the Victorian pier at Eastbourne. Unusual, because Eastbourne - the “Sunshine Capital of Britain” - is more often about the music at the bandstand, the seaside promenade and deck chairs in the sunshine on the beach.

Limes harvested from my tree on my patio in West London

Good harvest this year from my Tahitian lime tree. It has the most favoured sunny spot on my patio.
31 fruits! Compare with last year's meagre crop: Key Lime pie

Salt 'n Pepper - phone cam photo

Phone cam photo: an intriguing view from the discussion after this evening’s BBC Photo Club which was a presentation by James Burns of londonfromtherooftops.
This image is illustrating the point that you can make a photograph almost anywhere now that we all carry cameras in our phones.
Thanks Mihaiela

JH in the gilded cage at Boijmans museum, Rotterdam (NL)

The sculpture Apollo is open to everyone. To me, it is a circular gilded cage placed on the black and white striped tiled floor of the central courtyard of the Boijmans Museum in Rotterdam. The Berlin-based artist, Olaf Nicolai (b 1962) explains his work depicts a football pitch where the movements of the players are evident to everyone, the floor is a sports playing surface and a football is supplied with the exhibit.

Thanks to my friend Wolf
