Atlas V

August 27, 2021 

A strange light appeared in the sky tonight as we drove along the quiet country lanes on the Norfolk Broads.

A strange light in the night-time sky over Norfolk

So unfamiliar was its appearance that talk within the car naturally turned to UFOs, the conversation fuelled by Twitter, which was ablaze with talk and images of the object (or similar objects) that had been spotted right across Britain and Europe. What the hell was going on?


Well, it was not too long before the flurry of Twitter micro-conversations, which conjectured an alien invasion (it is 2021, after all, where people are prepared for almost anything to happen) became interspersed with the occasion factual tweet. Apparently, this wasn't the commencement of a war of the worlds scenario but was, in fact, the Atlas V rocket, launched from California to deliver the Landsat-9 into space. A little after 10pm (UK time), the rocket undertook a de-orbit burn over Europe, which jettisons and destroys the lower stages of the rocket to help prevent the build up of unnecessary space debris. Being so high in the sky, the gases involved in this manoeuvre were illuminated by the sun, despite it being dark here in Europe.

Perhaps not quite so exciting as visitors from another planet, this was still a fairly rare and exhilarating sighting in UK skies and we were all excited by the unusual event.

Our long awaited Norfolk holiday :)

September 25, 2021

Heading out of the city:





To the Norfolk Broads:


An explosion of colour welcomed our arrival at Martham, on the Norfolk Broads. A glowing Horse Chestnut tree marked our car parking space at our holiday accommodation for the next week. I couldn't help myself but pick a conker from its almost psychedelic branches and I will give germinating and growing a little Horse Chestnut tree....





Our holiday let and the view from its back garden was both more spacious and picturesque than suggested by its advertisement on the internet. I suppose its nice to be pleasantly surprised with our accommodation and setting on arrival than disappointed.






And for the goths amongst us, here are a couple of moodier images:



The evening ended with a visit from this little fella - found sat on our doorstep as we locked up for the night:


Passenger Seat is published!

 My new fotozine Passenger Seat is now available for purchase :) Click image below to be taken to Amazon page:

Passenger Seat - Acceleration


Well, this happened quicker than I had envisioned. I am already on the design stage of my new fotozine Passenger Seat. Hopefully this will be published some time next week :)

Unfortunately, during the editing stage, I had to lose some of the images from this project that I have already shared here in Pixie-Led studio. I hope that I can utilise the removed photographs sometime in a future publication.

Passenger Seat fotozine up date

Writing up the intro for the fotozine Passenger Seat

 As you can probably see by the amount of Passenger Seat images I have been sharing lately, my latest fotozine is progressing far faster than I had envisioned. It looks likely, though I do have to be cautious as I still have a third draft of Gobble to work through over the next five or six weeks, that I may be able to get this zine published a good few months ahead of schedule :) Watch this space...

Passenger Seat 36

 

I think this image is a likely contender to be the first image in the series of Passenger Seat photographs that will be published next year. I love the colours and indistinct feel of location the windows allow into the car. It is almost heralding the magickal journey to follow...
