Who decided that ”portrait” and ”landscape” are the default shapes for pictures? Why not diamonds? This little snap was taken while waiting for my train to come in, at Totnes – once famous for hippies and home of the Totnes Monster. I adore the little stations of England. Often, on weekends, we randomly pick a town from a map and visit. This leads to all kinds of impromptu and unexpected discoveries – things that a planned tourist adventure would never yield. And almost every town we meet this way is a diamond – sometimes shiny, sometimes in the rough.
