Considering how the day started.

It turned out quite nice.

Certainly the local ‘Petanquers’ thought so.

📸 A test as much as anything to see what Gemma 4 26B did with providing ‘accessibility text’ for my photo.

This is what it came up with:

A small structure with a dark roof covered in solar panels sits nestled among a dense backdrop of lush green trees.

Not too shabby. It was that kind of phrasing I had in my mind when I took it down by the beach last week, observing how the roof of an old boathouse (Unused? Do not know.) could double up as a baby solar ‘farm’ and not be that distracting.

Farm? Ok ‘backlot’.

📸 Aerial view of Herne Bay - exactly 100 years ago. The big white buildings in the middle? The Tram Barns. Long gone. To give you a clue of how long ago that is - a number of the buildings built after the barns were demolished are of the Art Deco persuasion and are now ‘listed’ buildings.
