Lightning striking twice
I managed to catch the photo mode pause just as a bunch of lightning bolts came down during a storm on the planet. Love the vibes.

Blood Moon
The moons always look great in No Man’s Sky. But something with the birds flying in front of this one made me want to capture it.

In the fire and the flames
I’m super proud of this one. Taken at the village in the north of the map – I’ll update the post when I find out the name again. The fire used to save progress was used to almost show her walking through the flames.

Gliding down to the Tallneck
Aloy glides down from the Cinnabar Sands satellite dish, towards the head of the Tallneck. I died far too many times from the two Scrappers and Skydrifter on site — with no metal shards left at the start of the encounter no less. I should add that I’m playing on ultra hard mode (not new…

Climbing Post
I’ve been trying to get some PlayStation time in again. It’s been a while with two small children about. I took this shot of Aloy just after the battle at the Forbidden West gates near the start of Horizon: Forbidden West.

I’ve been a fan of Richard and Linda Thompson for many years. However, I have somehow never listened to this album — at least I can’t recall hearing it before. “pour down like silver” and “hokey pokey” I have heard a few times though. This album did not disappoint. Really love their idiosyncratic sound.

Continuum by John Mayer
First time listening to John Mayer. Nice album. Quite relaxing whilst programming with songs that have nice messages.

Damaged by Black Flag
Loud, fast punk album. Was okay. Not my complete cup of tea but I respect it for what it is.

Jar of Flies by Alice In Chains
I’d heard that this was one of Alice in Chains’ best releases. However, for some reason it took a while for me to get into it. I’m glad I persisted, as this has become a favourite album / e.p. of mine I’ve heard in a long time. It just gets better with each listen for…

On a distant moon
Really getting back into this game when i have time. Took this whilst on the Atlas path missions. Taken from a moon, with the sun over the nearby planet.
