I finally tried Marcel Borgstijn's RBNXPLRNG: let an app pick your route, photograph what you find. I took my youngest son along. Same streets, two cameras, completely different pictures. A lovely way to see home with fresh eyes. https://gilesthurston.substack.com/publish/post/202892331?r=1reaom&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I stumbled upon this beauty while out on my bike yesterday. Suffered an irreparable puncture shortly afterwards but was well worth the trudge back out 😁📸

Step inside an old church and the noise of the world falls away. The air cools. Your footsteps echo. And you realise you're just a blip on the timeline, in a place that has seen it all before.

One of my favourite times of the year. That point when the fields start to shift from green to gold and I can turn to my kids, just as my Father used to do to me, and declare “The barley is turning!” 😁

A productive week across fewer outings than usual. Cambridge delivered a proper haul, including some colour courtesy of an unexpectedly orange office, with a weekend ride and a couple of runs filling in the rest. My latest Photoweek is live - https://giles.li/446JnJj
