Some pics from a recent trip to Wells – starting off with a typically grey English lunchtime:
I’ve taken a liking to cider, recently (and to a certain cider drinker, though that’s another story!) – one wonders if the tor cider company’s apples are as full of holes as the protocol…
We could hear music lessons over on the left hand side – sounded like a bassoon and saxaphone.
Yours truly:
“Let nothing perish” – clock dates from the 14th century, apparently!
They wouldn’t let us inside the Cathedral, on account of not being muzzled. Fuck ’em.
Not seen: Thai street food, that was far too delicious and far too greasy to photograph.
Holy shit, are these pics overexposed – no more full-auto mode!

This Wells might not even be all that bad but why not actually *write an article* with the pictures as illustrations instead of just dumping a load of pics and thinking that does anything somehow (magically!)? What you have here is not an article by any stretch of imagination, it’s again just a sort of “highlights”, a half-assed “done” in name only, a jumble of disjointed bits and pieces of which the reader can hardly make any head or tail.
Re images and automation – there was even at least one script published on trilema.com making use of imagemagick but at any rate and first of all: do learn to set the images properly. How can I refer for instance to one of the pictures in this pile of yours?
Go and read about that img html tag and look around at others’ blogs to see how they did it so much better, you know? For any page you visit (hence, retrieve locally), you can always just look at its source to see how some parts are done.

http://fixpoint.welshcomputing.com/2019/blogging-photos-and-chat-logs-some-handy-scripts/ was mine on image processing; it does assume that one knows the basics of how to write & use a script.
Ha! Hadn’t heard that one before. Do you not have oaks on the Isles, or are the natives just not exotic enough?

Thanks for the feedback! I was frustrated after all the manual tedium of image editing, and wanted to publish SOMETHING; but you’re right that the above isn’t an article in any sense, nor much of anything other than disjointed, context-less first notes (and if published, should’ve been labelled as such, rather than presented as a finished product).
Leaving the original up for future reference, I’ll redo it properly (note to self: other people have already solved problems I’m struggling on – check their methods!)
