The arched windows and curving walls of Copenhagen's Rundetaarn.

The design allowed horses to pull wagons up 34.8m to the library and observatory.

That's an awfully nice sandwich you got there. Sure would be a shame if something bad happened to it.

(Pure coincidence, but this pic is 9 yrs old almost to the day. November skies in London are a rather grey blue.)

A not at all suspicious looking Grey Heron in the London Zoo Penguin biome.

"Undercover Boss" (2010- )

A pair of pour paintings from about 5 years ago. A dear friend has them now. I ended up calling them Kindred A & B, because — much like the two of us — despite being wildly different they somehow still flow together. <3

Mini-me 2.0 has discovered he very much likes "The View" (1997- ) from his window this week.

"Blood swept lands & seas of red,
Where angels dare to tread.
As I put my hand to reach,
As God cried a tear of pain as the angels fell,
Again & again.

...

I put my hand up & see the land of red,
This is my time to go over,
I may not come back
So sleep, kiss the boys for me."

I think if trees could have ADHD they'd look like a good chunk of Toronto's trees did today: freaking the fuck out and desperately trying to drop all their leaves in one go because they misplaced their Winter is Coming memo.

Did some floral arranging this week for the first time in ages. My bit for an autumn themed teacher appreciation breakfast at my son's school.

Until recently, I didn't realise robins in North America were entirely different birds to those in Europe. I thought the UK just had a strange socially agreed upon stylization of odd little chubby robins for Christmas 😬

I've posted a version of this shot before, but I enjoy the way really leaning into warmth and saturation pulls through the underlying copper tones of the Cutty Sark's Muntz metal hull.

Fences are basically #masks for yards.

This blue one I passed was looking especially pretty with the bright red Boston Ivy growing on it.

Some of my favourite rocks are (grave)stones.

The only thing better than interesting #architecture is interesting architecture decked out with Christmas lights.

An old shot of the Allen Lambert Galleria in Brookfield Place.

Space is older
than the air moving in & out
of your lungs

For years I've drifted
the math of a divinity
that goes on & on

And I wonder
where have you gone?
And I wonder
what have you done?

One of Mini-me 1.0's new favourite things to do together is experimenting with long exposure shots.

The Playground Reaper (aka: my hoodie obsessed kid on a swing).

An old bit of temporary assemblage for #AnimalArtTuesday.

The photo was used for a short class at the V&A on laser cutting and screen printing. More in #Alt-Text.

I think I'd be happiest if I could just make recycled bling carousels all day.

I'm conflicted about this one.

On the one hand, the texture difference between the tree and the box car pleases my eye immensely.

On the other, why are people painting on the trees FFS!

Back when the London Zoo reopened mid-pandemic the pathways had a system of one-way routes. I told the kid to "stay on the arrows".

He may have got a bit literal about this.

I really love the compounding word construction of Icelandic. This is Snæ (snow) fells (mountain) nes (peninsula) vegur (road).
