Barmouth bridge
Tilt-shift of Barmouth foot/rail bridge in Wales by angusleonard, could so easily be a model railway! But here’s a very real Barmouth Bridge in the afternoon sunlight by Eifion. Amazing how such small shifts can appear to alter reality.

Adventures in an anorak

Put your feet up and walk
Conundrums and contradictions; puzzles and paradoxes, I haz dem …

How to be a non-person
You wouldn’t choose to do this voluntarily, but here’s what happens now when you move country - even back to one that is supposed to be your own country - because you have to start over from scratch again.
