Here is a close-up view of "The Bird Cage", a historic pub that was moved on concrete runners during construction of a motorway then moved back into its original place.

It was not possible to get far enough away from the desired subject to include it in a single photo but by taking many photos from the same focal point hugin could create a panorama of the scene.

Although not one of my better panoramas it illustrates the power of hugin to retain architectural accuracy in the vertical plane

@jaz Brexit, the gift that keeps on taking!

There was one death recorded in today's official #Covid19Cymru figures. Total now 1547. It's a measure of how far we have come that this is now a disappointing figure. The 7-day average is under 1 (0.86), and weekends are usually quieter.

On the Ceredigion - #Powys border today. What sort of bird builds a nest like this? A crow?

In HG Wells' "Men Like Gods" (1923) the Five Principles of Liberty which govern life in Utopia are:
* privacy
* free movement
* unlimited knowledge
* truthfulness
* free discussion

Written nearly 100 years ago for a fictional parallel universe, those principles should apply to our present day real world.

Until a year or so ago, I don't think I'd ever seen the word "normalcy". Over the last few months I've seen its use increasing.
Is this to be the new normal, or will "normality" be restored?

There were zero deaths recorded once again today in the official #Covid19Cymru figures (total remains at 1545). There have been just 5 deaths in the past week, meaning that the 7-day average is now 0.71.
The main risk now I think is complacency, coupled with tourism (especially in rural areas).
