A black and white photograph captured from a low angle, showing three people leaning against a stone windowsill inside a gothic-style arched window. The window features three vertical openings topped by ornate, pointed stone tracery. The people—two men on the ends and a woman in the center—are positioned within each of the three frames. Through the window, a courtyard and the stone facade of a historic building with similar arched windows are visible in the background. The interior foreground is in deep shadow with a tiled stone floor, while bright, natural light from the window illuminates the subjects and creates a high-contrast, moody atmosphere. The man on the left has his arms crossed, the woman in the center wears a coat and crossbody bag, and the man on the right leans forward with his hands on his knees.

This weather. I just booked Thursday off work and I’m staying in bed. I would’ve taken tomorrow or Wednesday off but I’ve got too much on.

Idly wondering what Starmer’s moral crusade is 🤔
marcdavenant.bsky.social Davenant 📸 @marcdavenant.bsky.social · 4d
Harold Wilson by Yousuf Karsh in 1963.
Wilson famously said “this party is a moral crusade or it is nothing” and he was right.

#TidesOutTuesday
As predicted the maiden voyage of HMS Shopping Trolley was short lived 🚢🛒😀
The tide is out on a cloudy January day at Maryport, Cumbria.
In the far distance across the Solway Firth is Scotland.

The image captures a solitary, discarded shopping trolley partially submerged on a wide, wet beach under a cloudy, overcast sky. Taken on the beach at Maryport, Cumbria, England on an overcast January day. It shows a bleak, expansive coastal landscape with a moody atmosphere. The main subject is a blue and black wire shopping trolley, abandoned in the wet sand. The horizon is distant, with faint hills visible in the background across the water. The tide is out with the grey-white clouds and tiny pockets of blue sky reflected in the wet brown sand. In the far distance across the Solway Firth to Scotland is the faint outline of Criffel Hill

La Escalinata del Óvalo, Teruel
A grand, ornamental staircase built in the 1920s that connects the train station to the old town. It’s a masterpiece of "Neo-Mudéjar" style.

Outside a bar a man buys a lottery ticket from a typical stall. The street is wet and there are characteristic slot machines outside the bar door.
