Senegal has won the Africa Cup of Nations in dramatic fashion.

Pape Gueye scored in extra time for the Teranga Lions to beat host Morocco 1-0 in a chaotic final which at one point saw Senegal’s players leave the field to protest a penalty decision. https://cnn.it/49GLXZ1

“This piece is a handprinted limited edition fine art linocut print in blue. Handprinted in Cranfields oilbased ink onto cream/white BFK French Rives acid free archival paper. A whole other world under the waters of the ocean. This piece depicts the abundant life in our oceans just below the surface. Image size: 9” x 12” Paper size approximately: 12” x 14” This highly detailed relief print started as an original drawing which was transferred to a linoleum carving block and then the design was carved into the block, inked and hand pulled individually from the block. Because of the hand printing process, each print may have slight variations making each one of a kind and unique. Each print comes numbered, titled and signed in pencil on the front.”

What are we
Just a trace
A #scintilla
A small drop
In the ocean
Barely visible
Like a whisper
In darkness

Yet we are
A spark
Of hope
That echos
In time
A drop
That ripples
That changed
Everything

#Nostagia
A form of amnesia
Memories we tell ourselves exist
More than a dream
Our past rewritten
So we can forget
The life we lived
Replaced with the
One’s we wished for
To cover the pain
When the truth
Is to hard to bear

Yearning for light
In Darkness

Chill winter's whisper,
Icy shrouds adorn the outside,
Inside, nurtured by heat.

Swaying with the Wind

A little blue butterfly, dancing on a blade of grass in the wind. Fragile in form, strong in spirit. He sways, not breaks. Just like us.

A male Red-bellied Woodpecker waits along the nature trail for any fallen peanuts. Different Red-bellied Woodpeckers have different amounts of red on their face and chest. The Red-bellied that will hand-feed has some faint red stripes on his chest; this one does not hand-feed but will get close.

Last week, civilians welcomed #Sudan 's army as liberators when it retook the strategic city, Wad Madani.

But then, the army began summarily killing people it perceives to be RSF sympathisers based on their ethnicity.

My long read for @ajenglish.bsky.social
