All taken in Glendale, Isle of Skye in the early hours of November 13th. Occasionally visible by eye as slight white ‘streaks’ the colours became visible simply taking pics with my iPhone. Glorious 😍

Currently staying on the #IsleofSkye I’ve seen all of the weather in the last 36 hrs. This is a photograph of (a small part of) the view from the window, with the reflection from another window seen in the sky…. not altered by me. Liked the effect, not sure I have done it justice though 😊

Years ago my mum bought me the smallest, weediest maple tree sapling from a local supermarket. Mostly because she felt sorry for it. This year has been its best so far…. the leaves are just stunning. It’s right outside the lounge window and I’m finding myself gazing at it all the time 🧡

Dose of good sense from the great Kurt Vonnegut. His enduring advice on living well, often rooted in his humanist perspective, is as relevant today as ever. #LittleBookofHumanism @profaliceroberts.bsky.social

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.
English Roundabouts   They’re making the roundabouts great again by painting the flag of St George to keep our circular road systems safe from the dark, satanic hordes. What do they want? Patriotic junctions! When do they want them? Before it’s too late. Good old-fashioned English roundabouts, as decreed by Alfred the Great. Behold the sacred intersection, this blessed plot, this septic isle. English roundabouts for English people, draped in red and white and bile. St George is cross, as well he may be – whipped-up hate, he’s seen before. Give way to the right, the road signs rage, and the far right most of all. Brian Bilston

I was lucky enough to see the ‘David Bowie Is’ exhibition when it toured. Standing in front of his blue ‘Life on Mars’ suit it became very obvious that the room was terribly dusty…. 🥴

Apart from the fact my dad drove mobile cranes for Grayston Crane Hire in the 70s, I love everything about this photograph!
It’s got definite ‘The Bed Sitting Room’ vibes. 😍
Wonder who the lady was 🤔

Morning all.

Glasgow 1960s from @DJSuperLemon1 on twitter. Detail in alt text.
This amazing photo, along with the others I posted earlier, hangs in The Pyramid, Anderston. Apparently, the originals were found in an old box. I was told there are more. They are being digitised, and there may be a display on Doors Open Day. Photographer unknown, sadly.

First pic - Scout
Second pic - Sidney
Scout was much smaller than Sid, but they could have passed for siblings if they had been around at the same time.
Lost Scout around 10 years ago, Sid in June this year 💔

Two of the bestest, goodest dogs.
