Shangri-La

“In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
   Down to a sunless sea….”

The Sea

The sea! the sea! the open sea!
The blue, the fresh, the ever free!

WPC : All-Time Favourites

How does one choose “All-time favourites”? Is it the quality of the photo, or the memory it evokes? There are inevitably sunsets, at home and abroad, or the amazing ‘golden light’, just ahead of sunset, when it catches the gum trees. There is the lonely fisherman, in the early morning, on the Vltava River in the middle of Prague, contrasted to the illuminated splendour of the Parliament in Budapest. Here are some favourites, from the last four years

A home among the gum trees
Spring emerges
A visiting tawny frogmouth
Illuminated Parliament, Budapest
The fisherman
Clouds alight
There’s a bird in there!
