2025 - 365 Project

011-365 v5 – Stone Sheep Fold

It’s always nice to learn something new. On today’s walk with Jess I scrambled down to photograph this structure. We knew that this was for sheep but had no idea it was called a sheep fold. A sheep fold, also known as a sheep pen or pound, is a simple

What a title, lets see what Google makes of that when it tries to index it! (Only the featured image at the top is a 6 x 17 pano, the “bonus” image below is a pano, but not 6 x 17). I am a wee bit obsessed by 6 x

006-365v5 An Apple a Day

I took this shot as an entry to this week’s 52Frames project. I’m already (apparently) doing a 365 project, so I might as well do the 52Frames project as well. It’s quite useful as at least I have a new theme idea supplied every week. I can always do a
