Photographs

Love
I have been visiting the ruins of Tintern Abbey since I was a kid. I like to be there after the day’s visitors have left, to sit beside the river Wye, taking in the stillness that inhabits this beautiful place.

Discovery
Back in the late 80’s when I was out discovering the world and myself. This slide is of Erhai Lake near the then small town of Dali, Yunnan, China.

Day 30 of mbaug

Flake
I feel that this door’s look benefits from the flaky look as the paint peels off. Taken in Hudson, NY last year.

Day 29 of mbaug

Emotions
My wife will be arriving home tomorrow following the sad passing of my wonderful mother-in-law. We shall no longer look out over this Florida scene.

Overcome
This vehicle has been overcome by age.

Day 23 of mbaug

Home
Nothing more to add.

Day 22 of mbaug

New moon and clouds at dusk last night.

Crunch
The crunch, crunch of a pebbly beach. This beach is in Porlock, Somerset, UK. The photo was taken five years ago.

Day 21 of mbaug

Change
I’ve watched this old railway carriage, in a corner of South Wales, change over the decades as it is slowly taken over by the natural world surrounding it.

Day 20 of mbaug

Ribbon
I’m not sure if these count as ribbons, but I’ll take them! Rolls of indigo cloth tied up with ribbons in a fabric factory in Chikugo-shi, Fukuoka, Japan.

Day 19 of mbaug

Grid
The wire grid pattern that makes up the fence around our property.

Cuddly
Bronx, mostly cuddly, but not always!

Day 17 of mbaug

Stationary
This one wasn’t going anywhere very quickly. Taken in Florida a couple of years ago.

Silhouette
Inside looking out.

Day 15 of mbaug

Nature’s patterns.

Among
Among the ruins of Glanum, south of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. A sober reminder of the transitory nature of civilizations.

Day 14 of mbaug

Filter
Filtering the morning brew.

Day 13 of mbaug

Sound
This photo was taken in a fabric weaving factory in Yame, southern Japan in October 2016. Noise might have been a better prompt than sound as the volume was deafening!

Day 12 of mbaug

Transport
This was taken during travels in my twenties. I am in Pakistan, somewhere between Karachi and Lahore. Out walking, I was offered a ride on a cart pulled by a camel.

Day 9 of mbaug

View
For 16 years this view was my view. Sitting in South Wales, looking across the fields to the Black Mountains in the far distance (just out of view in this photograph).

Day 8 of mbaug

South Wales towards the Black Mountains

Listening to Saturday Morning, Lying in Bed by Indiemono, except that I have been up for a while. For the last few weeks, this playlist seems to have been my morning sound. 🎵

Daytripping
Weston-Super-Mare during the spring of 2016. The family and grandparents use to day trip here when I was a kid. Fond memories of riding on the donkeys, and trekking through the mud to the sea during low tide!
