@CliveMyrieBBC A painful night for us Blues. Congrats on your very even handling of announcing the bleak results. I can only hope Pep may yet stay...

@AmyDesigns @fasc1nate You're so right. I worked on an event with him and had the privilege of visiting his Paris studio. He said after the barbarity he had covered, he made a conscious decision to focus on the positive in his photography and of course the project. A new life indeed for a lovely man.

@fasc1nate Once seen, his giant photographs of kids working in mines cannot be forgotten. I've often thought how this new forest must have virtually given him a new life, bringing back his spirit too.

In the early 1990s, Brazilian photojournalist Sebastião Ribeiro Salgado was stationed in Rwanda to cover the genocide, an experience that left him traumatized. In 1994, upon returning to his home in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Sebastião hoped to find solace in the lush green forest of his childhood. Instead, he discovered that his home had transformed into a dusty, barren land stretching for miles, devoid of any wildlife. "The land was as sick as I was. Only about 0.5% of the land was covered in trees," he remarked. At this time, his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, proposed that they embark on the ambitious journey of replanting the entire forest. Sebastião supported the idea, and together, over the course of the next 20 years, they planted an astonishing 2.7 million trees. Their efforts resulted in the rejuvenation of 1,500 acres of rainforest, and the site eventually became home to 293 plant species, 172 bird species, and 33 animal species, some of which were on the brink of extinction.

The Jam on U.S. late-night show 'Fridays', July 11, 1980 (part 1 of 2). 'Start!' #TheJam #WellerWednesday

@SohoGeorge Ah, the Roundhouse. In the mid 70s it had a second bar upstairs. Used to sneak up there aged 15 and an Irish barman named Mike used to supply us with illicit pints. Good times!

Also the building on the left was a pub called the Round House, which never allowed amplified music only acoustic Skiffle only no rock&roll🫣

What Soho and Wardour Street looked like in 1957/8 when l first saw it - & recently- date ?

@WilliamSitwell Loved that

💔💔💔💔

@SimonBatesUK Ring for the butler

OK, help! Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how to remove the plastic top on this toothbrush?

@OllieHolt22 @Finders73 Totally agree. Beans, OK in themselves, have no place in a full English. But black pudding...

@Finders73 Don’t like beans, Andrew. Sacrilege, I know

When in Blackpool…quite possibly the best Full English I’ve ever had. So can highly recommend the brilliant food and lovely staff at Compass Cafe in Birley Street.

Written in November 1944, this letter from Chaim Herman to his wife and child was discovered after the war, buried by the remains of the Auschwitz-Birkenau gas chambers. It is read here by Jason Isaacs.

@CliveMyrieBBC Our 'defence' once again...

Ha! Typical City!! Screwed our goal difference too. But the defensive lapses are shocking at the moment. Week in, week out! #mcfc

@CliveMyrieBBC The joy of being a Blue. Even at 5-1 up we have an unshakable sense of doom...

Manchester City edge Fulham thriller and Erling Haaland sets record - but how concerning is their defence? - BBC Sport - The defensive lapses are mind boggling, week after week! #mcfc bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@London_W4 Ah, the Barbican. Great shot.

And so it’s time for sleep and remember people: if you’re working tomorrow, you’ll need to work a bit harder after the budget because the government will take more money off you and give it to people who need it most. Those who don’t work, for instance. Nighty night.

@mjyharris Well you made the most of that pass. Lovely shot.

Alpinista and Luke Morris win the 2022 Prix De L’Arc De Triomphe. This was one of the few times that I have had accreditation on a racecourse so thank you to France Galop for that. I still appreciate it to this day. It makes an awful lot of difference having the trackside access to optimise photography opportunities and this day I was fortunate to have it. It is an extremely wide track at Longchamp and I could have done with a longer lens than the 70-200mm that I was using but was happy with this image given the conditions. Two things that stick out in my memory are the extremely heavy downpour immediately preceding the race when we all got absolutely drenched…….and how well Alpinista was travelling turning in, swinging off the bridle, revelling in the conditions. I loved being on the track to greet the winner after the race, and enjoy the celebrations, and I will always remember the day very very fondly. A great experience.

@martas_ @WildSeascapes @Minimalphotos A lovely shot. You can hear the silence.

@WildSeascapes @Minimalphotos Thanks a lot!

I am excited to win the Landscape category in the Minimalist Photography Awards 2025 💙 @Minimalphotos

@brucemillington So agree. AP also went through the delusion of comedy phase but vastly improved these days.

Faldo has been outstanding this week. He seems to have ditched the weak attempts at comedy and the need to say “smidgen” every other sentence. Instead he has provided brilliant insight throughout his Sky stints👏👏

🗣️ "I think that's such a strong attribute to have." @AJD1Racing gives us one to note at Epsom! #FlatOut | @jacknicolracing | @TomBull4 | 🔞 📺 👇🏻

@London_W4 Moody ..

Home now and as I step on deck, I take a look around and here’s my view tonight.

@NaasRacecourse @RacingTV @RacingPost @TheIrishField Great shot. Who took it?

Following recent heavy rain the chase track was found to be unfit for racing and the two chases race 7 & 8 have been abandoned.
