Picture this: Historic Sussex.

I visited my hometown of Crowborough for a couple of days last week, primarily to see my mum, but I managed to fit in a bit of exploring while I was there. I’d seen photos of Saxonbury Tower before, but never in real life, so I thought I’d take a drive out into the country and see it for myself, along with two smaller follies, Eridge Park Towers; both of which were originally part of the Neville…

Return to Arlington Court woods.

At the weekend, as part of The Cosmic Photo Challenge, I took another stroll through the woods at the National Trust’s Arlington Court. I took many photos and couldn’t bring myself to leave anything out so here are the ones I didn’t have room for in the main post.

The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Art for art's sake (AI Redux)

This week over at The Cosmic Photo Challenge, we’ve been having one of our semi-regular forays into; Art for art’s sake.

Picture this: A summer walk in Venn Quarries Woods.

Hi there, I hope you’re doing well and are enjoying weather as nice as it’s been here over the weekend. I thought I’d post some photos I took for The Cosmic Photo Challenge, many of which I didn’t have room for in this week’s edition, but they’re too nice not to share. So here’s a tour of Venn Quarries Woods just outside Barnstaple, in the glorious summer sunshine of Saturday afternoon.

Cosmic Photo Extravaganza: Broomhill Sculpture Gardens.

On Sunday morning I took a drive just out of Barnstaple, to Broomhill Art Hotel and Sculpture Gardens, which I have visited many times and I’ve taken a great many photos there, too. The National Sculpture Prize is hosted here and a lot of the previous winners are on permanent display in their own part of the beautifully landscaped, lightly wooded river valley. But there is hardly anywhere on the…
