After many visits (documented on this website) to Ile de Re, just off La Rochelle on France’s Atlantic coast, I’ve finally ventured an hour south to Ile de Re’s big sister, Ile d’Oleron. Advised to do so by an acquaintance, a little research uncovered a bigger island, less well developed and characterised by multi-coloured wooden […]
It’s full-throttle, as the man says – the cars have gone to bed but the children haven’t. Saturday night, no rain, and Razorlight on the main stage… Who Needs Love?

Or in this instance window photography; time for three frames – not noticed by artist or subject but then […]
It’s that puppy from next door again – but puppy no more. A year old and that’s a one metre fence he is lolling over. Cute isn’t he..?!
