About Field Notes: this is a browsable personal archive rather than an attempt to reproduce the site where some of the material first appeared. Entries have their own Field Note references, while original source identifiers are retained discreetly on individual pages for provenance.

What is a Field Note?

A Field Note is simply an archived observation: sometimes a building or monument, sometimes a tiny detail, sign, carving or curiosity. The emphasis is on the object and the place, using my own notes and photographs wherever available. The classification will evolve as the archive grows.
