Daemon with a halo. Heavy metal mod. Many other contradictions.

An advert for a Senior Copy Editor has a typo in it. Editor is spelled 'Edditor'. You couldn't make this up.
Rows of red velvet seats and a screen showing an ad for Hebden Bridge Film Club. There is no sunlight in here!
Marked-up suggestions to turn product lists into shop links and clarify two different CTAs that appeared in one paragraph.
An olive green square sits in the middle of a larger white square. In the top left corner, in all capitals, it reads Shane Parish. The album's title, Autechre Guitar, is in the top right corner.
A shot of the Rochdale canal. Towpath to the left. Drained canal cutting across from the bottom right. The water is just inches deep. It's not evaporated due to the heatwave alone, although the rest of the canal is visibly lower, with some moored barges at angles.
A yellow field, bursting with buttercups. A cottage peeks out from behind shrubs and trees, and mashed potato clouds scud across the sky.
A tiny spider waits for lunch, suspended above a forest of wild garlic leaves. A closer look reveals the super-fine strands of the web it's sitting in. Seen from below, it has yellow markings either side of its body and its legs are like zebra stripes.
Wild garlic cascades down through a hillside wood in West Yorkshire. A path can be seen to the right, winding its way through a tide of green leaves with white flowers dotted everywhere. In the distance, trees with fresh canopy are bathed in spring sun.
Late afternoon sun lights up ancient English rainforest clinging to a steep valley side near Todmorden. The trees are sprouting fresh green leaves, and the floor is carpeted with bluebells and littered with boulders and debris from recent strong winds.
My shadow stretches ahead of me on a narrow lane that leads down into town.
Steeply rising woodland is carpeted with bluebells. A path can be seen to the left of the picture, with trees ahead sprouting fresh green leaves.
A cropped shot of a lane called Butts Bottom, which is in Calderdale, West Yorkshire.
A screenshot showing my heart rate according to my Garmin tracker. It’s 45bpm, with a resting heart rate of 58bpm.
Hebden Water flows through a rock-strewn riverbed at Hardcastle Crags. The trail follows to the left, and bare trees still await their first buds either side of the steep channel the water flows through.
The river Calder, from Brearley bridge. Sun and fluffy clouds. A hint of fresh young leaves on trees that curve off into the distance. Two geese meander in the middle. I was being buffeted by a keen westerly wind.
A cartoon unicorn that could well be My Little Pony appears in front of a pastel coloured rainbow. There’s a white cloud below it with HAIL SATAN written in a rainbow coloured display font. There are Satanic sigils above.
Peeping out from underneath an ocean of ivy is a wooden sign with 'picnic area' written on it. A yellow arrow points towards more ivy and a large, toppled, dead tree branch.
The flood plain that lies at the bottom of Nutclough Woods. Deep blue skies and bare trees with vibrant green mosses and rising sap.
A screenshot from my Garmin app showing I've exceeded Government recommended exercise target by 355%! I've registered 533 intensity minutes over seven days (when my heart rate goes over 83bpm, which is the lowest warm-up rate). Not bad considering I work remotely, often under intense pressure, and have little time for personal interests.
A capsized boat lies in the Rochdale canal surrounded by heaps of rubbish and wooden palettes.
An almost cloudless blue sky is reflected in the river Calder at Brearley, West Yorkshire. There’s a sliver of cloud on the distant horizon.
Large moss-covered rocks like in Hebden Beck. I stood on a rocky outcrop to get this shot and keep my feet dry. Trees line the steep bank to the right, and there's a fence where the path is to the left. Blue skies and sun!
A job listing for a Social Media Founder Branding and Content Strategist. It asks that the individual relocates to Dubai, and was posted after the US attacked Iran, and while Iran was responding by firing missiles at Dubai.
A red and black widebeam barge called Haddlesley is moored on the Rochdale canal. Opposite, dwarf daffodils welcome the first sustained sunshine of the year! A sweeping curve of grass leads the eye along the receding canal path.
Heptonstall church tower peeps over the trees of Eaves Wood, West Yorkshire. The trees are ablaze with colour and sunlight. Pale blue skies above with wispy cirrus clouds.
A glitch in the iPhone's camera gives this lone tree in full spring bloom a white aura/glow as the light reflecting off background clouds overwhelms the sensors.
A carpet of red and orange autumnal leaves lines the gulley that cuts through Nutclough Woods, West Yorkshire.
A lone duckling races to catch up with its siblings and Mama duck on the Rochdale canal. It appears as a small blob in the top right corner and is heading into a wobbly, distorted pattern that's formed by the water reflecting trees, and is slightly reminiscent of abstract expressionist paintings.
The shot is looking through an old stone bridge that spans the Rochdale canal. The sun is rising on the other side of the bridge, and light is reflected off the water revealing the stones that curve around. There are stone paving slabs to the right, and in the middle are two geese, idly drifting along the canal, silhouetted against the rising sun.
A screenshot of my 50p winning from a national lottery instant play game. I can't even remember the name of the game but it involved pressing a button to release balls that randomly bounced around and hit various things, some of which were prizes. Like pinball, but without any flippers.
The image is of a pair of oversized red Lego bricks that are a pair of clogs. The headline reads: Lego and Crocs launch multi-year partnership with shoes shaped like giant bricks.
A Yorkshire Black Bee collects nectar from spring blossom.
A shot of waterlogged moorland in West Yorkshire.
A dark PC screen shows the caption ‘You're 30% there. Please keep your computer on.’ The joy of windows.
The warped, leathery demonic face that appears on the Necronomicon book used in the original 1984 Evil Dead movie.
Sunset over Hebden Bridge, Autumn 2024 The sun is just about to dip below the horizon in the middle of two valleys. I was lucky enough to be elevated, so I caught some of the town, too. The clouds are ablaze with glorious colours, and through a large gab reveals pale blue sky.
A photo of a YouTube thumbnail advertising a mix of 'Dud techno'. Underneath, it reads 'Deep focus dub techno mix. Atmospheric & minimal. Vol.8.'
Two sheep, one standing behind the other, are by a moss covered drystone wall. The sheep in front is looking straight at the camera. Behind them, bare winter trees are bathed in sunshine.
A lady wearing a jacket and a cap lifts a ginger and white Maine Coon cat up. It’s large enough to cover most of her figure.
The opening title of Jesus Christ Superstar, the film of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical.
A pale salmon pink piece of paper is pinned on a busy community notice board. The following has been handwritten on it, each line in a different colour: Joe GALLAgher 27th December 8 Pm AT White SwAN Pub Hebden Bridgei
A skinny black cat looks with intent at my plate of vegetarian food, and later complained to me that it wasn’t to his liking.
Under street lights decorated with Christmas lights, people line either side of Halifax Road in Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, a farming community. They watch as a succession of tractors, farm vehicles, vans and HGV trucks drive by, all festooned with fairy lights. Some have made a spectacular effort to decorate their vehicles, with one resembling a sleigh with a giant Santa on top. Others have simpler displays, and just enjoy taking part.
A yellow sign on the pavement alerts people to the annual tractor run through Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire. It reads: CHRISTMAS EVE TRACTOR RUN DELAYS LIKELY 24TH DECEMBER SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE
The duck is sleeping with its head twisted round (a la Exorcist), so I was able to get close to it. Its feathers are amazing, in iridescent green and black colours, and it has red fleshy facial skin (caruncles).
A cartoon of a friendly Baphoment dressed in a Santa hat, looking happy and surrounded by presents and seasonal sweets. Above, it reads Hail Santa.
A screenshot from Microsoft word that suggests I spelled ‘a’ incorrectly.
The hills and valleys of Calderdale, West Yorkshire. A trail of flattened grass drops over the edge of the meadow and becomes a steep descent to Nutclough Woods. In the distance, green fields and woodland with trees in full leaf. Blue skies above, with a grey cloud on the horizon.
The leaf wasn't falling. It was caught on a single strand of spider silk. I have a photo from my Fuji that shows the silk, but this iPhone pic is a better composition. I'm amazed I caught this given how rapidly it was spinning in a relentless wind coming off the moors. I'd clambered to the top of the Dill Scout's Wood, late in the day, out of curiosity. The sun was about to sink over the horizon, and I had a way to go, but this was mesmerising.
A tangle of marsh grass, ferns, bramble and nettles obscure the path. Only it wasn't a path, it was a swamp. Despite the summer drought, this was so sodden that water went over the top of my boots, the ankle, not the toes!
A view from the foot of Wadsworth moor looking out over Mytholmroyd and Cragg Vale, west Yorkshire. The landscape undulates and is covered with a patchwork of fields and woods. Mashed potato clouds scud overhead.
The porch of St Thomas the Apostle church, Heptonstall, with the bell tower to the left. I took this using a wide angle lens, so it appears to be leaning back, away from the lens. Like many Victorian churches, its architecture is Gothic.
The trail that leads around the top of Eaves Wood was blanketed in cloud. This was (or wasn't) the view towards Dill Scouts Wood on the opposite slope of the valley. In the bottom of the pic a few small houses in Mytholm can just about be seen.
A screenshot of OSMaps’ summary of my evening walk. It shows me walking in straight lines over the hills, moors, across farmland, through woods and over main roads. It’s very flattering but worryingly inaccurate!
Albert, a female cat that was born wild in Botswana, peeps her head over the top of her favourite shoe box. Behind her is a poster by Hapshash & the Coloured Coat, a collective of English artists who designed posters for late 60s psychedelic acts. The poster is advertising upcoming events at the UFO club that ran throughout 1967 and includes The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, and the Liverpool Love Festival. It's in maroon, yellow and metallic gold, and has strong art nouveau references, and some very trippy patterns.
The cover for an album called Nightfall by the Voces 8 choral ensemble.
