Pictures far apart

For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))

Pictures far apart

I'll tell you something about the following two pictures ... and that's that I'm the photographer in each case. The I'll ask you how far apart in distance and in time you think they are.

I have some pictures that look similar that are taken at similar times ... and then others where you say "they're almost the same" and they turn out to be far apart. I was looking at a picture of a crowded Pilning station the other day and thinking how similar it looked to a crowded Melksham taken last December.

But the two above look worlds apart, don't they?

They're not - they're about 100 yards apart, and the time interval between them is the time I took to walk that 100 yards. And if you wonder, it's not some European City that's been fought over and is now easily reached (daily, at an obscure hour, from Stansted) by Easyjet. It's Winchester!
