Many years have passed but in some ways Prague remains unchanged, full of lightness and colours but also deep darkness.
I have never forgotten the Old Jewish Cemetery here in Prague where perhaps as many as 100,000 are buried in up to 12 layers. The museum lists the some 81,000 Czech Jews who were deported…

Our Zeppelin Airship just about navigated the turbulence over Europe before crash landing on DOX, Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, in the middle of the ongoing FALL: Festival of Arts, Literature & Learning.
Suddenly we found ourselves listening to a conversation with the writer Colum McGann, talking…

Some say "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" but is that really true?
Earlier today we soared high above the clouds to visit a place from my past. Many years have passed and much is likely to have changed. Will I recognise anything?
It is dark outside now... Adventure awaits tomorrow...

I have long been fascinated by J.M.W. Turner's late works, of how his obsession with capturing atmospheric effects heralded a new kind of painting, less concerned with realism but speaking directly to the emotions with its dynamic use of light and composition.

Back in the Ox, Serafina wanted to fly free again; she found the narrow contraints of Amsterdam airspace stressful...

On one of those glorious summer mornings where warm autumn mists cover the landscape at dawn, I jumped on my gravel bike and rode south. I followed the pleasant winds up to the ancient Ridgeway, the oldest road on the British Isles. A flock of horses guided Serafina to the White Horse overlooking the…

At dawn, we once again sauntered down the mighty river to experience a new beginning in the endless book of days. Serafina was beside herself with excitement that @Son🌞JA🌻 was joining us part of her amazing ongoing Komoot cycle tour.
She is a most remarkable woman, fully open to experience and with…

The composer Eric Satie was born in Honfleur and many believe that this is where Charles Baudelaire wrote "Invitation au Voyage". On a beautiful August morning, I was up before dawn, as always in search of harmony and beauty - or in the words of the poet:
Là, tout n'est qu'ordre et beauté,
Luxe, calme…

At dawn, darkness slowly gave way to light as the sun rose magnificently over Prague. Serafina's images brought back memories of a Bohemian Bolero played by the old master Abdullah Ibrahim.
Later we cycled with friends, following the Vltava River to the north of Prague, crossing over by boat and then…
