I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

    1. Yep – they were next to each other in an internet font somewhere. Had to do some searching and copying and pasting. The new ‘block’ system that WordPress has rolled out is useless and has taken away some functionality it used to have. so annoying.

    1. Thank you – On my phone. It didn’t stop long. The resolution on the original picture is much sharper, but I downsize my images when uploading them to WordPress to minimise the storage use.
