Two Chanukah menorahs. The taller one, in brass, is made up of abstract dancing figures. In front, a ceramic lacrosse-themed menorah.

A beautiful day in Kirkland, WA. 3-4,000 people are out in this #Seattle suburb.
Two women at the protest. A woman dressed as a taco. Sign says: Measles, tariffs, and Nazis? So 1930s. Ssign says: Democracy dies in silence.

Sagres lighthouse, Portugal, last week.
#blueskyartshow on the theme of #sunlight.
A 1960 lighthouse in a midcentury modern style. It’s a simple, blocky concrete building with a red light on top, standing in the middle of a flat grassy area.
