Took a shine to this little thing at the Wildheart Sanctuary.

What if the Square and Compass in Purbeck merged with Windmill Campersite (including Russell West who doesn't mention his campsite contribution on his website) on the Isle of Wight?

"Poll after 'uproarious' response to axing of model village's streaker"

https://www.countypress.co.uk/news/26429523.poll-uproarious-response-axing-model-villages-streaker/

Interesting that they used a poll on Facebook to justify their decision. I wonder what proportion of their visitors are regular Facebook users?

Not every festival photograph needs to be of the headline act.

Sometimes it’s the details in between that tell the story — the people, the colour, the quieter moments and the atmosphere that make it memorable.

These were all shot on 35mm film using a Pentax 17 loaded with Kodak UltraMax 400, and a Ricoh 500 G with CineStill 800T.

Each brought its own character to the festival, from warm summer afternoons to the glow of the evening lights.
