A chilling view through a window for this week's #FensterFreitag. This is in the original Auschwitz, which was an ex-army barracks repurposed as a concentration camp in 1939. Until 1942, it mostly contained Polish and Soviet prisoners, and these inmates were subject to the first, experimental gassings in 1941.

We went to see an exhibition of Beryl Cook at Plymouth Box yesterday. It was a pretty full retrospective of her work, and I enjoyed it tremendously. It's also free, and I'd recommend a visit to anyone who is in the area.
I've put an unusual example of her work in a reply to this post.

Looking down a rockface at the restless sea crashing into its base below - taken with a long exposure, which emphasises the movement of the water, and renders the scene somewhat impressionistic and painterly.

We went out to see a movie last night, and had a slightly strange experience. For the first time in all the thousands of cinema visits I've made, we were the entire audience - just the two of us. That's me waiting for the film to begin. Great movie though...

My offering for today comes from deep down in my archives. This is a fisherman mending his nets, in Sicily, in 1982.

Mein Beitrag für heute stammt aus den Tiefen meines Archivs. Es handelt sich um einen Fischer, der 1982 in Sizilien seine Netze flickt.

A fine tree, with a bench set next to it for admiring the view and resting weary legs after climbing the hill.
On the back of this particular bench, which seems to be dedicated to someone called Victor, there is a 'Dartmoor Letterbox'. You can find these in hidden spots all around Dartmoor, and there are thousands of them. They have been going since 1854, and are probably best understood as a pre-internet version of geocaching.

The far South West of England is home to many clapper bridges. They are made of large, flat, stone slabs, supported by stone piers, and are mostly medieval in origin.

Yesterday's bike ride through the forest afforded me some lovely views of the snow-capped Lakeland hills.
