Had to photograph a new worship space for the Quakers at work for the cover of our magazine. I tried hard with a conventional approach, but this detail of light spilling in was ideal. NB- no cropping!

A taxi could go anywhere on a surprisingly deserted Embankment. Grabbed from Waterloo bridge as the lights changed!

Just before I get home each day I see this panorama across the Thames. Today the clouds and sunlight were a bit more portentous than usual.

Very damp cycle to a resident’s meeting this evening. Saw this flyover with one light and thought it captured the sense of gloom quite well.

Trying out some long exposures on the way home (no time for pics at lunch!) Like the swirl of the water against the steps. Glad to have the camera sorted again after its lens stick woe.

An interesting door knob near Limehouse. Sadly just after taking this, my first pic of the day, my camera died! Made for an easy edit, though…

Most people accept that there are right and wrong actions- immoral and moral behaviours, if you will. This feeling presupposes some kind of framework or system for judging whether actions are immoral or moral.
What is this system? Natural or supernatural? Human-limited or utterly objective? Learned or innate?
My own instincts push me in the direction of a minimal, open-ended system, something like ‘what if everyone did what you did/you were the object of the action you’re contemplating’?
I also feel that respect and empathy (some of the key drivers for moral behaviour) are learned, so in a way, morality is learned.
I’ll need to write more on this in my final year philosophy dissertation. Watch this space for developing thinking!
