The shed was done earlier this year...Reminds me of a Ken Dodd sketch where he describes a couple in the throes of passion, when she says: “That ceiling needs painting.....and when are you going to do something about the shed?”

October seems to be a good time for birthdays - it's my birthday tomorrow. Nothing planned for the day. But decorating a bedroom starts the next day. Can't complain - the last time it was decorated was 30 years ago .

Stunning and original. Full marks for realising that there are incredible sights to be seen inside such a common thing. And more full marks for technical excellence, too.

When Blake wrote Jerusalem (c1804) the Enclosure Acts were in full swing, with cheery (??) peasants tending their strips of common land being ejected in favour of enclosed fields and labourers employed (or not) at the whim of the landowner. The land might have been green, but it wasn't pleasant for those who tried to scrape a living as agricultural labourers, lived in insanitary conditions and whose children mainly died young (or very young). Perhaps Blake didn't notice that... As Gwyn says, people have to live somewhere. And thank goodness the houses of today are so vastly better than the rural squalor that many of my ancestors had to put up with. Modern houses may not be much to look at, but without the rose-tinted spectacles of an idealised past, neither are thatched cottages... .

I'm with the 80% too, but because it shows too much. On the principle of 'less is more', remove the top of the tree and for me it becomes more arty and mysterious, emphasising flow and swirls. Something like this (hope you don't mind)...

A fascinating picture. Every time I look at it, my eye immediately lands on the near-circular hole in the cloud (if you can't see it, don't look or you'll never be able to look at the picture in the same again!). Crop below the hole and the eye is drawn along the drain into the distance. Leave the hole in the picture and the drain becomes an accompaniment to the cloud and hole. Very strange!
