An image that has the following text on it: Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding? A.R. Moxon

Fog makes it colder. Power lines vanish in to the mist. The sun.
Photo of a foggy day. View of a field with an overhead power line disappearing in to fog. The sun is out and is trying to burn away the cold fog.

This is my two pence worth:
An image with the following text that I wrote that was in response to yougov.chat poll asking questions about a banana taped to a wall selling for millions of dollars. In a way, art is like a language, you have to study it to understand it. Even people looking at a landscape/portrait need a level of understanding (education) in order to interpret whats being shown. There is an entire history of it. Sadly, people who don’t speak the language appear to not like what they see, but that’s good too. It’s a fantastic and important aspect of life, it always has been.

Photo of a pair of Millionaire waffles. A sweet Belgium waffle loaded with salted caramel, shortbread crumb, chocolate sauce, white chocolate sauce and topped with chocolate buttons. Super yummy x

Photo of the inside of a waffle trailer showing the set up to make hot chocolates. There’s a steamer and pots and ingredients to sprinkle on top. Yummy.
