Here are the last photos taken this summer. I actually walked the Chisholm Trail again on the Platinum Jubilee weekend in June, about six months after it opened, but I’ve only just found time to create the Chisholm Trail Phase 1 – Six Months On walk page from the photos I took then.

Book Benches Gallery
I’ve added a new Book Benches Gallery page, containing photos of all the Wild In Art Book Benches that were placed around Cambridge between July and September 2022.
Dinky Doors Gallery Update
This is the first update this summer as we are no longer in lockdown and I’m working more of the time. I photographed two new Dinky Doors and two refurbished ones at the same time as the Wild In Art Book Benches, for which I hope to create a gallery page soon.
Reality Check
The Reality Checkpoint Dinky Door has been removed for maintenance, leaving behind a drawing and hazard notice. It will hopefully be possible to check reality again soon.
How Not to Find Us
Today I received a menu flyer from The Grill Brothers, which helpfully contains the map shown here. Quite apart from the facts that… Thoday Street and the part of Mill Road east of it have become cul-de-sacs. Hope Street has been rebranded as part of Catharine Street. The driveway behind the Mill Road Broadway shopsContinue reading “How Not to Find Us”

Chisholm Trail Phase 1
This is the first walk I’ve photographed and added to the Walks page since last summer. Chisholm Trail Phase 1 is now open, if somewhat unfinished, and I decided to take advantage of the mild weather over New Year to explore it. I’ll probably get back to adding more walks after Easter when there isContinue reading “Chisholm Trail Phase 1”
Rocket Rocket
A new Dinky Door has appeared – the Rocket Rocket. These pictures were taken on my first visit to the city centre in daylight since it was installed, using my phone. When I have my DSLR with me I’ll try to get some better ones, including the cat and A-Z map in the cockpit. MeanwhileContinue reading “Rocket Rocket”
#Cattlelogue Contents Pages
I’ve added tables of contents to the two #Cattlelogue gallery pages as the Large Cows Gallery especially was tedious to search for specific cows by scrolling. This would be easy using JavaScript/JQuery, but personal WordPress.com subscriptions don’t allow JavaScript so all the links had to be created manually. A professional WordPress.com subscription is expensive: aContinue reading “#Cattlelogue Contents Pages”
