I’ve been to this twice now as I find the chapel fascinating and lovely inside. We also found out about the tradition of the choir there and the chapel’s involvement in the community.

My left eye

My left eye

The is a wide scan of the back of my left eye. While looking at it I was struck by the thought that landscapes are not just outside us, but inside us as well. For some reason I was reminded of astronomical deep field photograhs. The dispersed features of space and the fine tracery of the back of my eye seem womehow to match.

Banksy grafitti spotted at Belmont, England, near Durham, 2013

Strolling down a road just off the motroway at Belmont, England, near Durham, I spotted this Banksy effort [or copy?] sprayed on the wall of a service shed near the shopping development. Nice to have a brush with fame!
