Reading Time: 2 minutes Its that time of year again, when all the city’s munters and loons congregate on Hyde Park. Hyde Park Unity day began as a community kick back to the 1995 riots in Hyde Park, though over the years it has become bigger and more messy, …
Reading Time: 2 minutes We’ve just spent 10 days living in a field. Yes, it’s that time of year again. This year’s Northern Green Gathering has been at the lovely Lime Tree Farm, which I have posted about before. More chilled than the environs of Pontefract last year, but …
Reading Time: 2 minutes A more personal set, but I wanted to just post a little more of the beautiful Lime Tree Farm, and a recent wedding we attended in the stone circle. And wo can resist (not even some of the veggie types it seemed) spit roasted spring …
Reading Time: 2 minutes In preparation for Northern Green Gathering this year we have been spending a weekend doing some work at Lime Tree Farm near Ripon. This is a truly lovely site, no longer a working farm, but an event space with a number of fields and a …
Reading Time: < 1 minutes We’ve just been to see Skindred. They were really, really good. A band to watch.
Reading Time: 2 minutes Another dreary day, save photographically by the beautiful way the light has fallen in the ginnel at the top of Grosvenor Road and on the track aside to Walkers Lane. We walked up through Headingley to the top of The Ridge below Meanwood for this. …

Reading Time: < 1 minutes For somewhere that in many ways is so scummy, Hyde Park seems to have some wierd charm to it, and this is something that I guess has made up the core of this ‘blog (and the predecessors which have been subsumed into it). I’m not …
Reading Time: 3 minutes More exploration of the new camera. This is getting fun. I have been playing with the slow sync flash setting which uses a longer exposue, to let in the light of the background and a flash to freeze the subject in the forground. I instantly …
Reading Time: 2 minutes I’ve found a setting on the new camera to take shots of fireworks – a long exposure that saturates the image nicely. Hyde Park is literally like a war-zone at the moment, and this is one of the things that does piss me off about …
Reading Time: 3 minutes This year is dissertation year, and I have been thinking about my dissertation and what I want it to be. I’ve been playing about with taking pictures on my phone for some time, but due to my overall shit financial situation (ok, yes, I spend …
