Shortly after the Covid-19 lockdown began in the UK in the spring of 2020, I started putting a daily photo on Facebook to brighten up people's lives. The series of 400 photos went under the name of 'Agan Gwel Bubdedhyek', which is Cornish for 'Our Daily View'. I received some warm tributes, for which I'm grateful.
Here are some of the photos for you to enjoy. Many of the photos are of Cornwall (unless the caption says otherwise), where I'm privileged to live, but with lots of others in and among.
Click a picture to enlarge. Then use your arrow keys to move through them. Enjoy!
