Recent Scenes from My Near West (i)

What is “my near west” - ? It is the transatlantic path that connects London, UK, where I usually first re-enter the “west” when travelling, and Denver, Colorado, USA, where I most often take my leave of it. Here is a series of pics from a recent sojourn there.

All images were taken with a Canon Powershot A80, and put through the open-source app. digiKam’s color balancing (some would say “colorizing”) wringer. They are displayed in sequential order: the first photo is the oldest, the last the latest. Go to Flickr for the captions; this is part one of four.

Off to the Green Man Festival

I’m travelling to London, Wales and ultimately the Green Man Festival at Brecon Beacons National Park over the next ten days or so; and I hope to get a chance to post on some of the festival’s music and literature offerings (my highlight: David Berman’s band, the Silver Jews; Berman’s the author of the excellent book of poems, Actual Air).

At the very least, I’ll have a few bits from the festival to share after returning to Cape Town, meaning boswestblog is guaranteed an update sometime during the week of 21 August, if not before.
