This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

'Art' For Art's Sake?
Would you 'Adam and Eve' (believe) it? A 'Black Eye Friday' image of three police arresting a drunken man in Swansea's notorious Wind Street, has been likened to Renaissance Art (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/dec/24/photo-of-swansea-police-arresting-drunk-likened-to-renaissance-art). The photo has gone viral online, with some folk claiming it deserves a spot between the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo in the Louvre. Now that's what you call hyperbole ('over the top')! It's an interesting image but presumably entirely unstaged. Anyhow, you see things like this, down in Wind Street, on most term time Friday nights!
