I'm still not doing a lot of walking; I am now doing rehabbing exercises for my ankle - including a lurid orange foam roller with medieval torture instrument vibes - and wearing an ice pack when I remember.
I therefore apologise for the lack of riveting content, it is very frustrating for me to be not outside and also the weather is too atrocious for bike riding. The rain seems unrelenting, but I'm guessing our reservoirs need it so I'm not complaining about that.
I can at least do my best to get outside, and just enjoy the sights and sounds. The harsh honking of the geese at the marina is rendered almost melodic by distance, and there is usually a robin to be heard singing somewhere.
There's a new noise too, one I've only recently discovered. The little sculpture outside Rumbles cafe, which I thought was actually a pretty little piece of polished metal, is actually a sort of steel drum as I found when I heard kids tapping it in their mittened hands, a soft "bonging" rather less tinny than a steel drum in actual fact.
It's a sound oddly out of place under skies of battleship grey.

I am enjoying your photographs Si - so different from usual.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos none-the-less. you are very good at capturing a certain quality of light (an Impressionist with a camera). Interesting sculpture - do those cut out things make a different note each? All the best for a fast recovery on the ankle.
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes they do play different notes!
