The August lens dump: a gallery of moments

A hodge-podge, mishmash, medley, motley, a pot pourri (if you fancy), of photos from my diary for August. Moments I couldn't miss.

It was a strange month of travel and transition, with fewer words and more photos because sometimes these images tell their own stories.

‘I’m writing to you because I miss you.’ Isn’t that always the reason?

1 & 2 - Street and window views in Arles. 3 - €18 fleurs. 4 - Love exists! in Le Panier. 5 - Diffused amber lights on tiles. 6 - something fishy from Md Fazla Rabbi Fatiq’s 2020 series Home at The Rencontres d'Arles.

1 - Captivating Le Vieux Port. 2 & 3 - Marseille's old harbour shrouded in morning fog. 4 - Look skyward at Les Docks. 5 - Quaint laundrette on an Arles backstreet. 6 - Panther sighting on the journey to Les Leques beach 7 - Forced joy, anyone? The charm and unsettling mannequins of a Provencal market. 8 - Mucem Museum awash in captivating light. 9 - The haunting allure of Mucem's 'Fashion Folklore' exhibition.

Halfway home, Lille.

As August draws to a close, this collection captures not just places, but also the essence of change, the hurdles we've overcome, and the unexpected journeys that have unfolded. May these inspire your own voyages, whether they're to far-off lands or simply into uncharted territories of the heart and mind.

Here's to embracing what comes next.
More words next time…
