The 11 yr old was coaching the 15 month old to play the xylophone. La, Ti, La, Ti... Over and over.

Crept closer to sneak a heartwarming sibling video only to hear him whispering, "Six, Seven, Six, Seven..."

'Into the Void'

Manhattan skyscrapers swallowed by winter fog which had a profound muted effect on the city acoustics!

Sparty 🙏🏼🖤🤍

This atmospheric monochrome photo captures an extreme low-angle perspective, looking vertically upward into a dense, atmospheric fog that envelops towering urban architecture. The image's dominated by strong vertical lines & high contrast, creating a stark, almost abstract representation of a city veiled in mist. On the left, a massive skyscraper ascends dramatically, its many horizontal window lines converging towards a vanishing point high above, the very top completely lost to the thick, grey haze, suggesting immense height and the overwhelming presence of the weather. Mirroring this on the right, another building rises, characterised a repeating patterns of dark, recessed windows framed by solid vertical and horizontal lines. This structure also disappears into the oppressive, monochrome sky. In the lower-left corner, a third building is partially visible. This structure has a slightly different, more ornate architectural style, with an illuminated section at its peak where several windows glow with light, providing the only source of bright illumination within the composition besides the diffused light from the sky. The sky itself is a vast expanse of greys, a featureless void where the fog has completely obscured any view of the true sky or sun. The transition between the solid forms of the buildings & the ethereal fog is soft & gradual, adding to the mysterious and somewhat isolating mood of the shot. The overall feeling is one of urban grandeur meeting natural elements, where the man-made structures are humbled by the pervasive fog. The lack of colour emphasises the textures, shapes & the interplay of light & shadow. The composition uses the edges of the frame to suggest an environment that extends far beyond what is visible, a dense concrete jungle shrouded in a silent, grey blanket. The perspective distorts the usual perception of height, making the viewer feel small & encased within this towering, misty canyon. The silence of the scene is palpable.

Cardiff Castle is Overflowing with Interesting Architectural Embellishments.

An Alarmed bird Announces an Armed-but-in-Underwear man is being Eviscerated by an Anatomically Awkward lion.

#PalacesAndGardens #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVForVowels #Details #Architecture #Wales #Photography #Alt-Text
Detail shot of a decorative embellishment added to Cardiff Castle during the Gothic Revival renovation to the medieval castle in the mid 1800s. Wall coverings are in shades of burgundy with many gold details presumably because yellow is for peasants. A border separates two different burgundy patterns. Linear bands of olive green are at the top and bottom. An alternating pattern of blue and pink follows moving inward. At the centre, a blue and green bird is flapping its wings animatedly and calling back to a second blue bird with a pink head. They are standing on green ground with an entirely gold background because of course they are. Decorative mouldings forming the start of an arch on the wall are painted Tiffany blue and a coordinating softer grey-green that looks like it might be paint they had left from Fortnum and Mason. At the base, a man and a lion are engaged in battle. The literally golden-haired man is wielding a sword and shield, but only wearing underwear. The man is looking upwards, presumably regretting the choices leading to this moment. Meanwhile, the 100% gold lion has a clawed paw splayed across the underdressed belly of the man. The lion is grimacing at the prospect of getting guts in the very lovely braid running through his mane. It was probably meant to be a halo, but the monkey who put it in was hanging the wrong way so instead it's a chinstrap. A brown vine/tree with green leaves is wrapped around both figures. It's unclear if they fell into the bush, or if the bush is of the enchanted sort and trying to break up the fight.

Queuing at the Jewel House within The Tower of London to see the Crown's shinies.

#PalacesAndGardens #People #UrbanGaze #HumansOfBlueSky #SensoryArt #Lines #EastCoastKin #Photography #Motherhood
A young boy with brown hair, a blue wool jacket, brown corduroy trousers, and white trainers is gripping a black iron railing. With one foot up on a stone curb and his free arm jutting forward, he manages to be in nearly perpetual motion in contrast to the static queue formed along the rest of the railing. The grey-brown stones of the Jewel House walls are at the left of the frame. The courtyard is paved with similarly coloured interlocking square and rectangular slabs.

Stop asking me what the baby "wants" for Christmas; I'm dangerously close to giving the honest answer:

- single socks
- old textbooks
- small cans of tomato paste

‘So-called charitable organizations:’ Ford claims groups ‘funnel’ money to ‘left-wing radical groups’
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says his government will audit groups receiving funds from the province, claiming that some of them “funnel it quietly to these left-wing radical groups.”

My wild guess is that if "orders are presumed lawful" language is in the USMC the actual context is something to the effect of 'an effective chain of command relies on the expectation that ranking members will only issue orders which can be presumed lawful. Should this expectation not be met...'

A blue hydrangea turning pink as it dries out.

Aging gracefully like a boss.

A macro shot of a hydrangea cluster which has begun to dry out. The underlying blue/purple tone can still be seen on some petals, but most are deepening into a rich pink shade. The driest ones have turned yellow-brown with one near the bottom middle of the frame looking especially crunchy. The deep green leaves are out of focus in the top right corner of the frame.

One of the decommissioned *engine* gears at Geevor Tin Mine in Cornwall. Visiting there is such an interesting snapshot of the once major industry of the area.

#BlueSkyMonday #MinimalMonday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekVForVowels #SensoryArt #Lines #ArtYear #smArtist #EastCoastKin #Photography
A photograph of a massive engine gear of a decommissioned tin mine. The interior of the gear is painted a bright blue. The exterior has three stacked rings which have an orange rusty tone. The pattern on the rings is a series of slanted parallel lines. The middle ring shafts in the opposite direction of the top and bottom creating a herringbone effect. The floor is painted cobalt blue. In the top left corner there is a partially visible warning sign about "Volts". Presumably running a machine this size required a lot of volts.

Ok, MTG:

+1 pts for Congress should not be "an assisted living facility".

Zero pts for saying 'raping children is bad'. That's meant to be the wildly low bar upon which everyone agrees.

-100 pts for the four page summary of how awful she is in case anyone was blessed enough to have forgotten.

St Michael's Hospital & Massey Hall reflection shot taken inside the passerelle addition. Stained glass windows of the original exterior wall captured in the glass.

#UrbanGaze #NightmareNovember #Black #LiminalSpaces #Architecture #ArtYear #smArtist #EastCoastKin #Photography #Toronto #Alt-Text
A photograph of the western wall of St Michael's Hospital shot from the Massey Hall passerelle. The lighting levels have been played with — particularly the black point and shadows — to bring the layering of windows into focus. Two rectangular art nouveau stained glass windows in tones of orange, cream, and light blue are reflected from the original 1890s exterior wall onto the glass addition. The glass enclosed walkway looks onto St Michael's Hospital and connects the Hall's front of house to the new lounges and backstage spaces added to the rear of the building. The warm colouration is a sharp contrast to the cool practicality of the hospital's lights. Even late into the evening, many of the hospital's floors remain brightly lit. In the middle at the left of the frame, one of the few darkened windows catches a tiny reflection of a pair of arched windows from the gallery level above the photographer. The harsh lighting of the hospital spills sharply through doors at the bottom right corner onto the street. There is a bright lamp in the bottom left of the frame. In the top right corner, interior lighting near the photographer is creating a bit of a soft halo.

A photograph of the west facing wall and windows of St Michael's Hospital shot from the balcony level bar of Massey Hall. The long bar counter is free of patrons during a performance. Four staff members are busy with other tasks. A long rectangular light hangs between two red circular signs above the counter. The longest wood panels and details of the walls and ceiling blend into the stark rectangular frames of the hospital windows.

Anyway please enjoy this pumpkin I saw yesterday
A jack-o-lantern on someone’s porch steps. The pumpkin is old and starting to rot in such a way that it looks like an old man with no teeth, making a grumpy expression, with the top also falling in. This pumpkin has seen some stuff.

Raindrop Globe

#Macro #macrophotography #photography #wellbeing #mindfulness

Have a blessed Thursday my lovelies and gotta love a wee raindrop 😊
A close-up macro photograph shows a single, clear water droplet perched on the smooth, green surface of a leaf. Inside the droplet, a vivid and sharply focused refraction of a small cluster of red flowers and green leaves appears, creating a miniature, upside-down world contained within the sphere. The surrounding leaf surface is textured with tiny bumps and a few smaller droplets scattered nearby. The background is softly blurred in shades of green and red, making the central droplet and its bright floral reflection stand out with striking clarity.
