On a recent visit to France I saw this lectern and thought of you. Lovely thing - solid, presumably copper? In St Malo's cathedral, with heaps of other good stuff. (Twitter folk tell me you're here now.)

I'm back on BlueSky! So here's an odd thing on the left bank of the R. Seine in Rouen.

The pedestrian staircase up to the Pont Guillaume le Conquérant is adorned with a well executed graffiti showing Rowan Atkinson. Just... why?

Is it a subtle French joke? (We won, Blackadder!)

And a few more yellow Snowdrops found during today's outing. A winter delight, and a bit of a Northumbrian speciality... #wildflowerhour #botany

Good luck, Canadian friends. 👍

There's always "Wolford Chapel in Devon, England... The building and land are publicly owned by the Canadian province of Ontario, and flies the Flag of Canada despite being in the English countryside." Wikipedia.

Wonderful place. Maybe a bit small for y'all...

#BlueSkyArtShow is closed until next Saturday but the calendar is full of opportunities to share art and mingle.

Today is Sunday #Stunday run by Robyn @handcranked.bsky.social. Post something stunning under the tag.

I get stopped in my tracks by wet leaves. The texture and play of light is ✨✨✨

Here's a photo from a trip to France. I've posted another, very different one just recently. I'm interested to see if they get different numbers of likes...

I'm pleased with this photo from a trip to France. I'll post another, very different one, from the same trip next. I'm interested to see if they get different amount of likes...

An unusually high tide created a fun effect under this walkway as the waves poked through the cracks.

#MosaicMonday this week features an extraordinary #mosaic wall panel from #Pompeii via #Naples. The amazingly rich effect of wall mosaics was due in part to their reduced exposure to wear and tear, unlike floor mosaics, and in part to their material, #glass rather than stone.

Yes!
A section of the Roman Wall at St. Albans which was built between AD 265 to 270 to defend the Roman city of Verulamium. The surviving sections are located in Verulamium Park which is a short walk from the city centre. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday #RomanBritain
