Alley in Melbourne, Australia

#EastCoastKin #Alley #UrbanGaze #HumansOfBluesky

A cobblestone alley goes between older multistory, dirty white brick buildings. At the end of the alley is a shiny skyscraper made of glass that is reflecting blue sky. There is a person walking through the alley, a bicycle propped up, and a red plastic crate also in the alley. Melbourne, Australia

Too many people and I don't like crowds. The last time I was in downtown Portland (years ago), I heard gunshots, yelling, and sounds of fighting and this was in broad daylight. I actually don't have to live where you or anyone else tells me to. I can choose where I call home.

A black-and-white view of Tokyo Skytree piercing the night sky, its illuminated spire radiating like a celestial signal above the dense cityscape below. The quiet geometry of buildings and streets contrasts with the tower’s luminous ascent, a symbol of modern Tokyo reaching into the infinite night.

I'm guessing Freida tugging a little at her clothing is what the #bluesky #censorship #nanny bot calls "adult content." Who writes these algorithms anyway?

In honor of Joe Sinnott's birthday, I'd like to share this classic story by Stan Lee, John Buscema, and Joe Sinnott.

Fifty-seven years ago, the Silver Surfer made first contact with the Badoon "When Lands The Saucer!"

The darkness and brightness really showed themselves in this sunrise. The contrast was beautiful. I have no idea why it looks so dark at the top 🤔 the sky was a beautiful pale lavender blue🩵💜

I hope you all have the day you want and need ✌️
