Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

It's next to the western part of Highgate cemetery, but, yes, Waterlow Park is next to that.

What I like most about this postbox is that it is still in use, despite being half-eaten by the tree.

A display of wild swimming books. At the bottom of the display, under all the other books is a copy of JAWS by Peter Benchley.

The Red Post, on Herne Hill. The earliest record of a red post here is 1768, but it is thought that one was here long before that. #FingerpostFriday

Sheep on Romney Marsh.
Don’t know much about sheep but I think there’s a fair chance that they are Romney Marsh Sheep. But maybe 🐑know different.

Postcard From The Past @pastpostcard.bsky.social · 2d

Writing this card at the Post Office Tower. We have just been up the top looking at a lovely view, you could see Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge & lots of other famous places. On Monday we went to the cinema and had dinner at a Wimpy Bar.
