London Diaries_21/08/2020
Contrary to what everyone told me about how short lived English summers were going to be, I can confirm that it is anything but. I guess most people still don't believe that climate change is real. (Huh! What's that?) Anyhoo...summer days provide us with more opportunities for exploring the countryside and experiencing such installations. "The Scallop sits on the beach at Aldeburgh, in Suffolk. It is a 13 foot-ish (4 metre) high monument, by local-born artist Maggi Hambling, to the late Benjamin Britten, composer and past Aldeburgh resident, who used to take his afternoon walks along the beach." (https://bit.ly/2Sxohit) "I hear those voices that will not be drowned." _from the opera "Peter Grimes" by Benjamin Britten. #aldeburg #newadventures #exploreuk #nonperiodicoscillations #summer #climatechange #climatecrisis #beach #scallop #art #installation #zeitgeist
