I think that this shot is about lines and colours. The cliff face is at about midpoint and the horizon intersects at midpoint on the right. The line between the sea and the rocks is at just about the third line. The colours are generally muted but the white on the left is balanced by the blues on the right.

Banana

This banana came to talk to me in Brighton

False positives

Chrome keeps warning that this blog is malicious. It may be but the code isn't - it's Chrome throwing a false positive (it also does it on other sites). The long and short of it is that I'm taking out the Blogroll for now until Chrome behaves.

Ashurst church

Thank goodness for that!

I'm really pleased to see this happening. Teachers hide behind an artificial power distance which inhibits the maturity of the interactions in the school and often leaves people with hang ups about people in authority for many years. This very week I attended an event at my son's school and I'm happy to bet that I wasn't the only person in the audience who felt patronised by people far younger (and less qualified) introducing themselves as "Mr" or "Miss" without any regard to forenames and their audience.
