What is this site?

This is my (photo)blog. I love taking photos and they need to go somewhere. It is updated fairly regularly and is usually vaguely chronological, unless I have a dry spell with the camera and the archives need raiding… I occasionally post things other than photos.

Why ‘Fakecactus’?

I once owned a real cactus. In high winds it got sucked out of my bedroom window and died. My Grandmother bought me a fake cactus to replace it. Bored one afternoon, and in need of a domain name, I gazed around my room. The rest is history.

This blog has been running since October 2006, which is 2409 days 22 hours 51 minutes 56 seconds
