Actually, I think Richard Wright’s poem Close says that September is the turning time, but the way life’s been going recently, it’s understandable that I’m a wee bit late.
Went to Burnham Beeches again yesterday with S, to see whether the leaves had started turning yet.
They had - just - but even if the woods weren’t stained umber, on a cold, sunny day it was good to get out into the fresh air and play with the camera. I’m especially happy with the shots from yesterday as I was working in 100% manual mode under tricky lighting conditions - bright skies and shade under the canopy, plus lots of strong colour and no tripod.
Oh, and speaking of seasonal changes, if you’re visiting this site on the web (rather than via the feed) you’ll have spotted that there have been a few costmetic changes around here. Hopefully this will make the page a bit lighter to load, and fix various problems with feeds and archives. Let me know what you think!
I like but I would like even more if the comments counter was moved to or replicated alongside the "leave comments" link. I tend to read a post and then think about reading other people’s comments once I have got to the end.
Just my two euro cents.
looks good, but i thought the random headers were gorgeous and i miss them!
@graybo: no sooner said than done!
@the other Karen: me too, but they were taking forever to load. I’m investigating a way to reintroduce an element of randomness back into the site. In the meantime, the header images are still available in the header archive…
Burnham Beeches is great. I used to run a pub there, the Crown. (And, very briefly, the Stag)
If it’s all changing colour, think I might go up there next weekend with Hound…
Well its better than the Guardian’s Guide new design, actually that’s unfair - its a lot better than that.
We need a ‘Bring back random headers campaign’ website?
I’m having viewing problems with meish on Firefox 2.0 (which is far from bug free) might be the lego kiss chase video embedded as Firefox stalls, sulks and reports a plugin not responding and that tab dies. Doing this post after following a RSS linked specific page. Is the video trying to load or does it need clicking?
Also the Flickr moast recent 10 images display has been not showing (to me) since before last week. Firefox only? Scripts are enabled from you and Flickr and this was with good old Firefox 1.5.x installed. Those were the days…
I’m getting problems viewing in IE7 - it’s very sluggish and stalls. Might be the embedded video.
