I normally post as I go but my interest in this platform is waning hard. But I’m definitely going to post a selection of my faves here for those who may enjoy them while I consider my next move with regard to sharing pictures.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-09-15-from-hells-dark-heart-we/ Sun, 15 Sep 2024 09:10:31 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2024-09-15-from-hells-dark-heart-we/ <div class="swiper carousel-container"> <div class="swiper-wrapper"> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="17858822892249210.jpg" alt=""> </div> <div class="swiper-slide"> <img src="17858048673250821.jpg" alt=""> </div> </div> <div class="swiper-button-next"></div> <div class="swiper-button-prev"></div> <div class="swiper-pagination"></div> </div> <p>From hell’s dark heart we stab at thee.

This huge flock are riding this giraffe to pick at an open wound on its back.</p> <p>It’s no good shaking them off. They just swoop back seconds later.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-06-weve-been-seeing-more-giraffes/ Mon, 06 Sep 2021 08:21:26 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-06-weve-been-seeing-more-giraffes/ <p>We&rsquo;ve been seeing more giraffes that ever before so far on our holiday. From youngsters to grizzled veterans towering over the car with their scars and lion-lost tails. While I&rsquo;m sometimes used to them, I&rsquo;m still sometimes struck by what zany nonsense creatures they are. Evolution can take you to really strange places if you&rsquo;re not careful.</p>
