21st Century milk

Cravendale boast, in their jovial cartoon advertising campaign, that they filter their milk.
I suspect they do it to reduce bacteria and - in turn - lengthen freshness; although it seems they are pushing the 'fresher, cleaner taste' angle.
Filtered milk. I can remember when I was a lad that fresh milk - from an actual cow - was revered as the embodiment of healthy freshness. Obviously that now needs filtering.
God forbid I played in mud when I was young. And bumped my head on stuff. And didn't need a mobile for safety.

A filtered, purified, semi-skimmed generation is born.......

Tibetan struggle


I saw this photograph yesterday and loved what it captured.


The young Tibetan child symbolises perfectly the comparative weakness of the Tibetans against the crushing and dominant oppression of the Chinese might.

It's incredible, really, how a single photograph can say so much more than - say - a few minutes of video footage.

The true power of photography.
