Spreading some light and pleasure to those confined by the current crisis. See post 1, here, for a fuller explanation. This is post 26.

Long, early morning shadows and a blue sky. With much of the world’s population confined to their homes, or at least only able to be outside if isolated from other people, my wife and I decided to take one of our regular walks in the forest to celebrate the day. Our daughter is currently living …

Walking toward Mewslade Bay. Day 4 of our visit to this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Day 1 is here, day 2, here, and day 3, here.

The approach to the hill. On our third day at Rhossili (click here for day 1, here for day 2) we celebrated our wedding anniversary (31 years), so, naturally, we decided to climb Rhossili Beacon, where a force 8 gale was blowing! I took only 273 pictures this time, so selection was a little easier. …
