I made a new dog bowl because I dropped a bottle of olive oil on the old one and it split in three. I made this one with a super thick rim to hopefully give it some extra durability against #hurricaneosa.

West Gate whales: Giant humpbacks swim up to Melbourne’s busiest freeway
As traffic rolled overhead, the whales made their way underneath the West Gate Bridge, swimming past navigation markers and boats berthed at a marina.

Nighttime

#urban #photography
The exterior of two residential buildings separated by a central illuminated section. The dominant colors are muted grays of the building facades, contrasting with the warm, reddish-brown and brightly lit central panel. A metallic, open-tread fire escape with multiple landings and a spiral staircase component is attached to this wall. The strong artificial light emanating from unseen sources above and below illuminates the fire escape and casts dramatic, elongated shadows of its structure onto the wooden paneling behind it.
