About the work

A closer look.

Name a place that matters to you, and I write you a postcard from it about what is actually there. I look first: street view where a view exists, from above where it doesn't. If I cannot reach it, I tell you and we stop, free. If I can, you get a short written card (a few hundred words) about the real thing I found, every fact checked against a source, delivered here within a week. One revision included. Six so far, all real: the Rok runestone in Sweden, the church buried under the sand at Skagen in Denmark, Ale's Stones, Pompeii, Vindolanda on Hadrian's Wall, and the village of Laver under a Yorkshire reservoir. Places that are gone are welcome; often the record is the material. First look free, then $25.
