So sang Keane back in 2006.
Great song. Creepy video.
But that’s not what this post is about. It’s a reminder for me. Yes, whizzing through my Flickr photostream just now, I noted that I haven’t done enough crystal ball photography.
What with the Mavic appearing on the scene and life happening and stuff, I haven’t really got around to it, and I must.
Note to self. You know what.
Having given the crystal ball an outing in the Derwent Valley in Derbyshire last month, it seemed only natural to give it a go in Newlands Forest this morning.
No, I’m not quite sure on my thinking there either.
Anyway, here you go:
It was a wonderfully clear day, and – perhaps predictably for a forest – our view was only obscured by trees. Occasionally, we escaped these arboreal obstructions and this was taken at one of those times. Readers willing to go the extra mile will be able to zoom in and see Cape Hangklip in the magical glassy globe, and that’s some 60kms south east of where we were.
More photos of the day can be seen on Flickr.
This afternoon, we had fun with a crystal ball. I bet you didn’t see that coming.
This is the naturally beautiful Derwent Valley, inverted through my new glassy toy.
You can expect several (or more) images of this kind over the coming days, weeks, months or years.
