Kinda dodged a bullet there, TBH.
Photo from Google Street View showing 535 Poydras St, New Orleans in 2022. Surface parking lot in front of an old brick building with a mural advertising Zatarain’s and also recently renovated condos painted grey.

This statue of Hannibal Barca at the Tuileries gardens goes fucking hard
A statue of Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca, portrayed victoriously holding a Roman legionary Aquila upside down and standing on the broken remains of another. A legion losing its Aquila was a serious loss of honor. A closeup of the same statue, showing the detail of the seized and broken Aquilas. One is intact but upside down, with the surmounted eagle on the ground. The eagle from the broken one is under Hannibal’s foot. Other battlefield detritus forms the base of the statue, including a shield and a sword.

There appears to be some kind of bus “driving” in Lake Pontchartrain.

Quote skeet a picture you took in a National Park
Arches National Park at dusk. A formation of light colored Navajo sandstone, petrified sand dunes, is in the foreground with a ridgeline and the Le Sal mountains in the distance, sunkissed with orange, pink, violet hues.

Might as well say “here’s a loaded gun, try not to shoot yourself.”

Yet again…
Photo of sign saying 0 days since it was DNS (it’s always DNS). The zero is in red and rendered to appear as if it was hand written onto the sign, similar to those “# of days since last accident” posted at industrial workplaces.

The trunk of a 1994 Honda Civic is surprisingly spacious.
A red smiley face ball, floating in water. To the left of said ball is white, black-bordered text that reads, "'Tell us a true, one-sentence story from your life that absolutely opens more questions than it answers and demands further context.'

My mom is trying to befriend the ravens by enticing them with dog treats.

One took a shine to her.
Raven silhouetted against a foggy bay, perched on the back of a patio chair, peering into the window of a cafe looking for more treats.

Glaciers are big. Like really big.
A tidewater glacier in Blackstone Bay, Prince William Sound, Alaska. Photo taken from about 1/4 mile away. A small fishing boat is in the foreground closer to the glacier and is minuscule compared to the size of the front wall of ice. The glacier appears blue and white in color with streaks of black and brown from the sediment it has scoured out of the mountains. A arched ice cave is visible at the waterline. Small rivulets of melt water are cascading down the rocks next to the glacier.

Only fireworks I need
Sunset through the remains of a dying thunderstorm, trees in foreground. The sky is alive with orange and pink and red, with grey and blue threatening to take over when the show is done.

Tattuesday!

This is one piece, wrapping around my forearm.
Part of a tattoo on the arm of a pasty pale white dude: a bat/gargoyle wing depicted in shades of brown, black and grey. The wing is tattered and torn. Center section of same tattoo, an hourglass in black and grey shading with reddish/sepia sand. The sand has mostly fallen to the bottom, representing time running out. Final section of the tattoo, the second wing wrapping around my forearm. It has the same shading as the first wing.

If you see this… post a photo you made at sunset
Trees silhouetted against a pink and violet sky. Photo taken from inside the eye of Hurricane Zeta in 2020 as it passed over the New Orleans area. The west side of the storm had begun to deteriorate after landfall, allowing a view of the sunset.

Reminds me of this one I had in London a number of years ago… craft cocktail in an edible gel, like fancy Jell-O shots but more liquidy on the inside. Each one had different floral/herbal garnishes on top that made them taste slightly different.
A plate containing 5 translucent blobs, with leaves, dried flower petals or spices on top.
