Going for Gold

The whole of the moon

England, Walmer – December 2023

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands

But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

As Below So Above

England, Walmer – December 2024

The panoramic mode on the iPhone is not a favorite setting for me. On Instagram you get bombarded by adds about all Apple did not tell you about taking photos on iPhone: some work, eg using panorama setting for a wider angle (the fun for me using an iPhone is to be curious about all you can do finding it out for yourself).

But making a panorama having a straight line in front of you (a road eg) is hilarious. What would a sky panorama look like? So I did a 360 sky and a 180 horizon of the sea front at Walmer. Just for fun.

A Brand New Day

England, Walmer – December 2023

The start of a brand new year, the first day with 365 following, given this is a leap year. A calm sea, the light breaking into the waves, painting a gorgeous sky in the clouds. It’s all in the details. The small boat heading out to a new port of call.
