Looks like this boulder isn't going anywhere - it's firmly chained up for the night. Sometimes, I find the details of street furniture really visually interesting...

This fishing boat has clearly seen better days, but is somebody still living on it, I wonder? The bespoke pallet path to the front door suggests there might be...
[Some 'diligent' research tells me this is the 'William Stevenson', out of Penzance, which was built in the Netherlands, and once served as a spraying boat in the wake of the Torrey Canyon disaster.] -
The word 'bench' is very, very old. It's derived from Proto-Indo-European, and variations exist in most European languages. It's where judges sit, where moneylenders sat (before they opened their banks), and where your reserve players sit, waiting to join the game. I like to think of today as the August Bench Holiday...

There is light at the end of this tunnel - but also at the beginning and middle. Metaphorically, therefore, it tells us nothing. I enjoyed cycling through it the other day, all the same...

When I was a kid, I used to like sandy beaches best. But, as I've gone through life, I've come to appreciate stony beaches more and more. I love the infinite variety of the pebbles, and it's really nice to go home without sand in every crevice.

It's been the longest, hottest summer I've witnessed since the notorious summer of 1976. Back in those days, I was sweating it out in London, but now I live in leafy Devon. Even here, though, most of the fields have become a scorched shade of brown, and the trees are turning early...

Do you ever get those dreams where you find yourself walking down a long corridor with many doors?

Yup, anyone actually paying attention to the world has got to be up to no good...

Hippocrates Square Rhodes Old Town
A brief moment in time captured then repeated down the ages. Our presence nothing but an echo of former intent.

Old cannon repurposed as a bollard outside St Helen's Church, Bishopsgate, London. London still has a few such cannon bollards, mainly taken from defeated French warships. Newer bollards were made in the style of cannons. #history #folklore #London #architecture #weird #psychogeography #urban #cities

The Northern Line ticket hall in Bank Tube Station was once the notoriously overcrowded crypt of St Mary Woolnoth's Church, which was cleared of bodies and reinforced when the station was built. Passengers often feel a sense of desolation and some have smelt putrid odours wafting through the tunnels. One ghost sometimes glimpsed in and around the station is the 'Black Nun', a woman whose brother worked at the nearby Bank of England and was executed for forging a cheque. St Mary Woolnoth was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, a mysterious figure known as the 'Devil's Architect' for embellishing his buildings with 'pagan' adornments like pyramids and obelisks. In 'The Wasteland', T.S. Eliot wrote: "St Mary Woolnoth kept the hours, with a dead sound on the final stroke of nine." #PhantomsFriday #folklore #history #London #gothic #psychogeography #weird #paranormal #architecture #ghosts #poetry #poets

Down on the shores of the Mediterranean, in Tunisia, the breeze eddies the fine sand around under sturdy sunshades...

here's a random paperpost, from 5 January 2015:

Within dreamscape we have the chance to see the world differently. The architecture of the streets beneath a transdimensional cloak.

The maize was so high in this field that I got lost for a few minutes. There was supposed to be a public footpath running through here, but the farmer obviously didn't give a hoot about that...

One from the vaults today: taken during a long, hot summer spent in the French Alps - many, many years ago...

I've been doing a lot of cycling with one of my grandsons in the last week - much of it in delightful forest, serenaded by the scent of pine trees in the sunshine...

I was sat at a pavement café yesterday afternoon when I noticed this chimney, opposite. My first thought was: 'I bet those ferns aren't enjoying this 30° heatwave very much'...

This is a souvenir from my trip to Rotterdam a few weeks ago. The city turned out to be much nicer to look at, and built on a more human scale, than I'd imagined.

The Greek god Eros has a brother, Anteros. While Eros ignites fiery desire, Anteros is about affection that is mutual. He acts as a balancing force in relationships, but can punish those guilty of rejecting the love of others. The famous 'Eros' statue at Piccadilly Circus, London, is actually of Anteros, erected to honour the philanthropist Lord Shaftesbury. Anteros points his bow down Shaftesbury Avenue, with London legend claiming it indicates the direction of Lord Shaftesbury's Dorset home and last resting place. #FairytaleTuesday #folklore #mythology #history #London #psychogeography #weird #urban #architecture

A receding vista of sandstone, medieval arches, holding up the roof of the C14th Westgate, in Warwick. Arches were such a great invention, or were they more of a discovery? Nice as it would be, there is apparently no connection between the word 'arch', and the word 'architecture'.

One from the archive. "These places, defined by what they are not, are not yet or are no longer, have attracted many writers over the years. Marion Shoard, Richard Mabey, Iain Sinclair, Will Self and others have explored edgelands, usually on foot. I followed in their footsteps one January day when I undertook that most edgeland of activities: getting the car serviced." #edgelands #psychogeography #cycling #walking #biketooter #writing #photography

hello mastodon —
sound, listening and performance as ways of thinking with territory.
non-anthropocentric perspectives, infrastructures, measurement, and resistant environments.
psychogeography, cultural studies, and the arts as ways of attending — including alternative mappings and cartographies.
photography as field note. sound as method.
slow conversations welcome.#SoundStudies #SoundArt #Listening

As green comet C/2022 E3 passes overhead, we're releasing 'Green: Multispecies Entanglings', a reader from FoAM's Anarchive. 🌱 Planted firmly on the Earth, contributors explore how we relate to the plants, animals, landscapes, and other beings with whom we share our planet. 🌍 Blending shades of green to paint possible futures where gardening and gathering, fieldwork and storytelling, contemplation and experimentation foster reciprocal relationships with the living world. Nobody walks the path alone. 🗺️
