“What is this life if, full of care/We have no time to stand and stare,” wrote W. H. Davies in his 1911 poem Leisure.

In this week’s Reader Picture, we are invited to do just that at Skegness’ Tower Gardens – thanks to a spot of long exposure photography from Jerome Slater.

The result also brings to mind another couplet from Davies’ poem: “No time to see, in broad daylight/Streams full of stars, like skies at night.”
