Anomaly

An anomaly in the landscape can generate a new idea. I glanced at this book every day for a week as I walked along the seafront in Brighton last Autumn.

Rain soaked deeper into the story and a page was turned with each passing day,  perhaps an anonymous reader or perhaps just the wind.

 

Shrapnel

In spite of the bombardment the Victoria and Albert Museum stayed open to the public during most of the second world war.

The damage from shrapnel remains to this day.
