Some landscapes… ©Stephen Tanham 2024 All photos taken and processed on an iPhone 12 ProMax or created using NightCafe Studio AI. Stephen Tanham is … Read More Bigness…

It’s just across the bridge; but it’s another world. The bridge in question is the Rialto, which spans the Grand Canal – the central waterway of Venice, so it’s not your everyday transition. On the St Mark’s Square side is Venice at its most popular – and busy. On this side, you can walk till you come to a dead end… or get lost, … Read More Santa Croce

A glorious sunset glimpsed from the motorway. Would we be able to get ‘there’ before it faded? The most reliable ‘there’ is the halfway point to Arnside, via the A6 and hope… And there, at Sandside, we got the last of the sunset, mottled in red-golds and lilacs. And stood and stared. ©Stephen Tanham 2024 All photos taken and processed on an iPhone 12 … Read More Standing and staring

I’m having a conversation with a lizard. Nothing to be alarmed about, the lizard is only in my head – quite literally, in fact. As Homo Sapiens developed over the long course of our evolution, the nature and function of the brain changed with us. At the top of our spine resides the first proper brain we possessed, named the Limbic. It is a … Read More Conversations with a Lizard

The strange object – bottom right in the photo – is the top of our folded sun parasol which lives next to our patio table, outside the house. The ‘shades of lilac’ object in the background began its life as one of the biggest explosions the Earth would have ever seen… And its effects took approximately three days to reach the sky over our … Read More Aurora

I can say that I believe that the awful weather we’re having will shortly change to something more appropriate to the month of May. I can’t say I ‘know’ this to be true, but I’d be willing to defend my opinion. I can say I know … Read More A challenging belief

We are born vividly experiencing, but our life in society and in ‘convention’ gradually numbs us into an existence based largely on the thinking brain… We may choose to involve our bodies more with sports, walking or other very physical activities, but most of … Read More The tantalising potential of instinctive energy

There is a mysterious fire within the human being. All of us have it, and it’s waiting to serve us … but in most, it is left dormant. The Alchemists named it ‘fire’, thereby hiding and describing it in the same definition. We don’t have to believe in anything mystical to experience it. It’s simply a part of what we are, and can be … Read More The mystery of Intelligent Inner Fire

When the settee to the phone Is half-hearted … and alone And you ring it back, but only in your mind —- If you sit and hold the minute And the people who aren’t in it And wonder how to harvest Passing time —- Does a ghostly alter-presence Steal your silenced effervescence And delightfully rehearsed Excuse or ten? —- When your eyes refuse to … Read More The Moment
