I’ve just added a new page with some photographs of a simple version of a harmonograph – two pendulums connected to a pen which traces their combined motion. The resulting traces are quite fascinating. See it here.

I’ve done a bit of trawling through pre-website photographs, and found some of a red squirrel, taken at Skygarth Farm, Temple Sowerby, Penrith, Cumbria, UK in the summer of 2006. You can view these on the unsurprisingly named Red Squirrel page.

Goosanders on the River Wharfe
April 7th, 2009 · No Comments
A very enjoyable couple of days spent in Wharfedale included a very pleasant walk along the River Wharfe upstream of Grassington. A pair of goosanders was quite unconcerned that we were close by, and we were able to watch them for about twenty minutes. Some of the resulting photographs are posted on goosanders page.
