The branch in the pond

In time every tree branch that falls into water loses all its leaves and bark. Where the branch is below the water it goes dark with the water-logging. The part of the branch that remains above the water tends to become weatherd and bleached. This branch has followed that path. The reflection that produces a line of symmetry at the water level appealed to me. However, on the pond bank and through my viewfinder I only appreciated it in three dimensions. When I got it up on my computer screen the form in two dimensions jumped out at - it's a fish swimming left to right. You can even see its mouth!

Organ, Worcester Cathedral

The thunderous sound of a large organ in a cathedral stirs the body and, perhaps, the soul. Sometimes it exhibits a quality that almost seems it could bring the building down. I've never heard this new organ in Worcester Cathedral. However, the building is sufficiently interesting that I envisage making several visits and so I am hopeful of one day experiencing it. The design of the pipes and case in its setting of columns, arches and painted vault in quite sumptuous.
