#PhotoJanuary2024 Day 7. Almost didn't post, but it's a cold day so my fire is alight and I do love toasted marshmallows! #Heat #Fire
#PhotoJanuary2024 Day 5 Theme of #Département
In the UK we have #Shires and in a previous career I did some work on this tapestry from the 1590s, which is a map of Herefordshire & Worcestershire. It had been protected from the light for 100s of years, hence the bright colours. For a transliteration of the poem see Alt text. #Tapestry #Elizabethan #HistoricTextiles
#PhotoJanuary2024 Day 4 Maybe a bit of a cliché, but here's Tracey Emin's installation at St Pancras railway station, London for today's theme #Time
#PhotoJanuary2024 Day 3 Theme of #Snow Just like how the sun plays on these snowy twigs.
Day 2 of #PhotoJanuary2024 and the theme #Insect This is not a real creature. It is a Japanese metal model of a praying mantis, about 10cm long, on display at the British Museum.
Looking forward to taking part in #PhotoJanuary2024 Late entry, but here's Day 1. #InExtremis
