A Sunday afternoon - and a Bank Holiday one at that. I'm not sure why (suggestions of age and workload are probably along the right lines!) but I lay down just after lunchtime and dozed ... and, up again now, I am starting to do some low key stuff including labeling up some old pictures.
Photoshop is, of course, a marvelous piece of software for adding art and zest to a dull picture such as this one of a steam engine at Bressingham, taken just a fortnight ago. You may argue that the best place for this picture was the recycle bin - but, hey, I'm an amateur and an amateur will show you as many of his pictures as he possibly can. In fact - if you want to see the other ones that I have just been labeling up they are

Another picture - from last Thursday, at Bibury. [
more pictures of Bibury]. A certain timelessness, and an opportunity to take a rare picture - one that has no road, no vehicles, no signs of the 21st or even the 20th Century in it. Or so one might think, but I do wonder as to just how similar (or otherwise) this scene might have been in 1908 rather than 2008.
And finally, a pair of pictures that lead me to start thinking just how European we have become in Great Britain - with photographs on the steps in Norwich and in Rome.
