My next short story collection read is The Haunted Trail: Classic Tales of the Rambling Weird. Another in the British Library "Tales of the Weird" series. This one is edited by Weird Walk.

An eerie yellow on black background drawing of a path winding through spooky looking plants and trees into the distance. The atmosphere is very foreboding.

I especially liked this photo Martin took yesterday afternoon in the wooded river valley near our home. More photos are posted on my Mastodon, Bluesky and especially (most numerous) Facebook feed.

Every week I check the descriptions Martin types into Flickr for his latest photos. Just got to this one:

"The east side of the southern end of the Seven Arches Viaduct in Monifieth viewed from in the Dighty Burn."

Yes, photo taken from _in_ the burn (river). He goes out on his walks wearing wellies and waterproof trousers, and usually ends up in the water!

This photo.
