Too much thinking can be dangerous for your health!

Evening visitor

Let it not be said that moths are uninterested in modern technology.  This little fellow, no more than 1.5 cm long, flew in through the open window yesterday evening and, for an hour or so, settled on the computer screen.  I don’t have macro equipment but I felt the incident was worth sharing.   (I think its a fruit moth, but I’m probably wrong!)

Out of this world

Ageing door

It is  sometimes said that ‘every picture tells a story’.  On this occasion there seems to be a complete saga covering a long history.  There have clearly been security problems, indicated by the blocking of key holes, the replacement of the glass pane with mesh , and a further stronger metal grid has been added.  Layers of carelessly applied paint reveal changes in taste and colour preferences.

The study

Abstract ‘The Conspirators’

Portland (4) Views from the lighthouse

 

We were recently fortunate enough to spend a few days at the Old Higher Lighthouse mentioned in the previous post.  It was here that Marie Stopes entertained various  eminent visitors including Thomas Hardy, George Bernard Shaw and H G Wells.

The original lantern has been converted into an observatory with spectacular 360 degree views.  Whilst enjoying the comfort afforded by the protection of the windows, the scene outside is constantly changing.  The sunsets are  especially impressive and sometimes quite dramatic.
