Christmas Eve: a lonely walk around my neighbourhood where I captured these glorious sunflowers basking in the last rays of one of those long slow Summer’s afternoons that seem to sidestep evening and slide straight into night. It’s been a spectacularly difficult year for everyone and while I can’t see this changing at scale in the immediate future, we should all be ok if we can keep the idiots away from the steering wheel where they seem quite clearly and entirely unwittingly intent on driving this human civilisation bus off a cliff.
