The first of three times I have been there. Struggling to light it was a challenge this time too; all of these photos have the exposure dialled way down, to avoid looking like the brightest gloomy forest there ever was.
I wrote a script that allows Flickr users to take advantage of the 4.0 licences that became available in June 2025 and apply them to photographs uploaded before that date.
Updater 2.0 → 4.0 updates a Flickr user’s photographs that were using Creative Commons 2.0 licences to the 4.0 equivalents of the same licences.
It will update photographs using a 2.0 to have the closest matching 4.0 licence, eg a photo licenced Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 will be updated to be licenced Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0.

It was still, nearly, freezing cold!
I started uploading photos taken in 2021 to Flickr on January 13, 2021, including these:
Today is the 1684th day of 2021’s photo processing, the last publicly accessible upload I made from 2021 was:
I might not seem to be accelerating that much (2020’s photos took 1775 days) but I have mostly complete uploads from 2024 and entirely complete for 2025, so I only have 2022, 2023, and part of 2024 to catch up.
The literally thousands of photos I took in a two week period in Europe in 2022 will be a journey though.
This photo is something of a favourite of the algorithms that display my photo history to me, and I’ve stared at it so much in the last four and half years that I honestly have no idea now whether or not I like it:
More: Penguins Head, Tilbury Cove, Warrain Beach, more Warrain Beach. (Just this sequence, about a week in real time, took me two months to upload.)
More: Hang gliders, clifftop views
More: storms, last light

The Double Cross Trail, perhaps the longest walk I have ever done, a cold and windy day in mid-summer.
July 2021 onwards
Too excited about the vaccine rollout for copyediting:
AstraZeneca, the workhorse of winter 2021 vaccination in NSW:
Rapid Antigen Tests, which were not approved in Australia until November 2021, were the workhorse of the Omicron wave:
QR codes really had a moment, although when I took this photo they’d been rarely used for nearly three years:
Earlier: 2020 lockdown
