Photography
Dew pond at Ditchling Beacon (227 m.) on the South Downs Way in Sussex.
A “Mediterranean episode” of weather brought a storm with a lot of rain but also dramatic natural lighting which changed rapidly. A stunning dawn highlighting Menton old town. Later on, it was almost shocking to see the strength of the storm both on sea and at a beach where the Mediterranean usually laps the shore peacefully. Even the guys with the surfboards were packing up and going home as the waves were too violent.
Photography doesn’t show rain well so the photographer has to find ways to show it indirectly. This is the railing on my balcony.

Four views of Marseille from Notre-Dame de la Garde, the basilica built on a limestone rock which overlooks the city of Marseille, its bay and the surrounding mountains.

Four landscape views from my trip to Keswick; compare the shapes and the gradations revealed by the mist and clouds.
