Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Another of the fab collaborations between Alan Call and Charlie Graham-May for last weekend’s #FringeFeb in Chippenham.
I love how shooting into the sun has added to the mood of this photo 🙂
Waving
A number of new signs cropped up around the centre of Chippenham at the weekend as part of the first #FringeFeb. A great way of cheering up what’s been a dreary February.
It was fun to go round spotting them. I didn’t get them all, but watch out for a special Friday Bench later this week 🙂
Friday Bench: Roundel
A prominent version of one of the most iconic brands in the world. You can find out more about its history here.
Friday Bench: #whippetgood
Not quite sure how comfortable he’d be, though it looks like plenty of people have stopped to pose on other days 🙂
Friday Bench: With friends
Last week’s Friday Bench from Lake Bled was spectacular, but this one is even more so because it contains some of my friends 🙂
What a fun time we had!
May you have a friend-filled Christmas and New Year.
Is that really a rhea?
One of the more unusual sights of Ljubljana – a man taking his rhea for a walk across Butchers’ Bridge.
He simply gently guided it along with his hand. Our guide told us he makes a regular appearance in the city – sometimes with a peacock instead!
Friday Bench: Lake Bled
Friday Bench: Thenford
At Thenford Arboretum and Gardens, there’s a wonderful rill. But, lo what do I see in the distance?
Ah yes, it’s a little clearer now…
… oh, my goodness! 🙂
Friday Bench: Willow Reader
On view at Avebury Manor’s fab sculpture exhibition in the garden until October 13th. Unless it gets sold!
You can go for a wander though some of the other exhibits here.
Friday Bench: Edelweiss
Edelweiss are quite hard to avoid in Switzerland. They’re everywhere, except in the wild it seems. These were in front of our hotel, and then…
… a quite different form can be seen at the top of the Brienzer Rothorn mountain which advertises an airline!
