Whale bones and shadows
We have a curious structure in one of our city parks that's a little controversial. Some people really don't like it, most aren't sure what it's supposed to represent. It appeals to me, although I can't quite work out how to photograph it. I took advantage of a couple evening walks past the park to [...]
Chalk worth hoarding

Touring Mini Israel and exploring Israeli tanks
Last weekend we hired a car, and went out for much of the day on the Saturday. We opted for two local attractions: Mini IsraelPark Latrun (a military tank museum) Mini Israel Mini Israel is pretty much what it sounds like. It's a park with miniature versions of various Israeli cities, and attractions. I had [...]
