Giving AI a run with a photo of myself, starting with a likeness then stylising radically. I was running the Thames Path with fresh bread from the village baker in Barnes. Hammersmith Bridge in background.
But is it Art?
Flying display at the Birds of Prey Centre at Muncaster Castle near Ravenglass in West Cumbria. These amazing birds fly with a precision and speed that is unimaginable from TV alone. Their flight is almost silent and of course deadly for their prey. Raptors are carnivorous: each display was rewarded with meat. It’s quite unnerving to be looked at directly by one of these birds of prey, ether through the viewfinder or by eye. And in this display the birds fly low, including over the heads of the audience, you feel the size and power of the predators with such a close encounter. The pair of Vultures were particularly impressive, working as a couple. And cute in thier own way; Note that Vultures are technically not birds of Prey as Vultures only eat meat that is already dead.

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. New life.
High summer in Margravine Cemetery, Hammersmith.
The old trees. The stones. The dust of the earth. The new growth.
