The ’s pyramid.

Color photo from a window of the Louvre museum in Paris looking down on the glass pyramid entrance situated in the middle of a large plaza - the Napoleon Courtyard - between the museum’s building wings. Surrounding the glass pyramid on three sides are shallow triangular pools with fountains. On the entrance side of the pyramid are lines of people queueing to get in and you can see people within the pyramid.

“Chic”

Frederick Douglass’ first pocket watch. Douglass wrote that, for a formerly enslaved man, it was more than just a fashionable item — it was a powerful sign that he was free and that his time was now his own.

More in the alt text.

Closeup on a silver pocket watch with a gold chain draped beside it in an “S” shape, in a neutral gray display case. Displayed in the past exhibition “Superfly: Tailoring Black Style” at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC. Excerpts from the museum placard: “Pocket watch and chain owned by Frederick Douglass, 1846 Silver with gold chain” “In 1894 Frederick Douglass wrote an essay describing the significance of purchasing his first pocket watch, on view here. ‘The possession of a watch in my young days was among the remote possibilities,’ he wrote, as ‘I did not own myself.’ A pocket watch, hung from a heavy chain outside a gentleman's waistcoat, was for Douglass ‘a sign of wealth and respectability,’ and for a formerly enslaved man, the ultimate indication that his time was his own. When he finally acquired one as a free man, he wrote, ‘no article in my ownership has been more serviceable to me,’ as it allowed him to maintain the practice as well as the appearance of sophistication, prosperity, and punctuality.”

°Ziemlich schräg° war auch dieser Spielplatz im Museumsgarten in St.Pölten.

Eine Figur auf einem Spielplatz: eine Spinnenförmige Figur mit einem roboterähnlichen Kopf aus Holzspanplatten. Der Kopf hat zwei runde schwarze Augen und einen großen rechteckigen Ausschnitt als Mund. Die Figur steht auf feinem Kies. ein kleines Kletternetz aus Seil führt vom unteren Mundbereich zur Erde. Die hellbeige Spinne steht vor einer türkisen Fassade, die aus vielen symmetrisch aneinandergelegten Paneelen in Salino-Form besteht. Nur die schmale Abschlussleiste und die erste Salinoreihe sind farblich in dunkleren Türkis abgesetzt.

Europa is seated on the bull, adorned in draped garments. The bull is adorned with floral garlands. Accompanying Europa are two female figures, one standing next to the bull and the other positioned behind. The overall composition rests on a textured base.

“Mittelalterlich” / Medieval

The illuminated manuscript “Lancelot du Lac” (Lancelot of the Lake), recounting the exploits of that knight, seen here defeating an opponent. Written in Old French in the Late Middle Ages, circa 1310-1315 (although its binding was made in the 1800s), on display at the Morgan Library in NYC. I’ve shared a closeup of one page before, but here’s a better view of the whole spread.

Facing pages of an illuminated manuscript on display in a glass case. The pages are made of stained, yellowing vellum. Each page displays three columns of calligraphic text, interrupted in the middle by a horizontal strip of colorful illustrations. The strip on the left shows two knights in battle, one unhorsing the other. The strip on the right shows the victorious knight riding away with his opponent slung over the horse’s back.

Oh, and Andrew McCann was my tutor when I was at Leeds Computational Science, so I assume you knew him fairly well if you were working on SPITBOL.

He was genuinely the only person in that department I got along with, and he was pretty honest with me and told me I should just pack up and leave because it wasn't the right environment for me, personality-wise.

Eventually, he left instead, and I stayed on and slogged through the final year to get a 3rd (the most I could get at that point because I was planning on leaving in my 2nd year and had done nothing, passing my exams was kind of a shock and made me have to rethink). I then got a postgrad placement at Leicester in a place that was the right environment for me, personality-wise.

Amusingly, though, when I left Leicester I went back to Leeds to run systems for another department, and they had to deal with me as a peer. The only person who coped well with that change was Ted Appleby over in Mech Eng. We stayed friends for years, and he gave me a load of SUN, VAX, and SGI stuff for my museum into the early 2000s. These pics were from a 2005 pickup, so he was still there then.

I am going way off topic, but it's an excuse to post pics of old junk :D

I am happy with this DECSystem-10 MUD system for now; it's been a 35-year task.

If anyone is bored enough to be curious!

31 January 1991: Essex University's DECSystem-10 closes, meaning that MIST and ROCK, and the dodgy version of MUD we had on there, had to close. I had a mostly working VMS system that would run it with some extra programming, but I'd already sent out AberMUD to Vijay, and he'd sent it out to the world, and TinyMUDs were becoming common. MIST was losing its captive audience, and it needed that level of addiction and co-dependence to run, so I decided to let it die in its prime, rather than become a sad old relic that nobody played.

2003 and the next 20 years: I decided to build a TOPS-10 system on a VMS machine and install MIST/MUD and ROCK. Got quite a long way, and then discovered there was no BCPL compiler existing anywhere in the known world. A few years later, Richard Bartle told me that Paul Allen (I think) had found one. So this became possible, and Quentin (dot-co-dot-uk) took a great stab at it with some really old code, and Viktor Toth had BL running, so I figured that was enough. Sometime in this period, Bletchley Park got something that looked like a PDP-10, and they suggested that I go and put MUD onto it for the museum. It wasn't a PDP-10, but I did look into putting it onto a VAX for a while, but the management of Bletchley, as it turned into The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC), was getting more corporate and boring, so I gave up bothering.

19th Feb to 22nd Feb, 2026: I decided to build a PRIMOS machine on a Simh emulator for no apparent reason. It went fairly smoothly, so I wondered again about a DEC-10. I was missing TOPS-10 anyway, so why not? Proof of concept, setting up some test systems, seeing where TOPS-10 emulators were at these days and seeing how far Quentin had really got and how much extra work was needed. Realised I am going to have to start from scratch, mostly, using a prebuilt Steuben distro of TOPS-10 7.03 as the base.

Took a couple of weeks off to ponder whether the rest was worth it, but decided my $200 a month ChatGPT Pro subscription may as well pay for itself with background research, so I decided to go ahead.

9th March 9 to 18th March, 2026: A long sprint, and I mostly got it all working. 92 hours of concentrated swearing and about 15 hours of destroying the planet with GPT Deep Research mode later (*), after at least 2 false starts and complete wipes. I got a system I am relatively happy with. Somewhere in there is about 4 hours of relearning TECO and fighting with getting ROCK working on code it was never meant to work on. There's still more to do, but that's just maintenance now.

BUT I FOUND ROCK! I thought it was lost forever. Somehow, that's my major victory in all this. Building the setup was hard, tedious, and very frustrating work. It probably did need somebody who knew a lot about both DEC and Unix systems management, and the MUD engine, to guide it, but it was still mostly a matter of putting together things that already existed and forcing them to work together. ROCK, though, I genuinely thought was 100% lost.

It's taken a hundred plus concentrated hours, two new dedicated hosts, a small town's water supply, and probably a few megawatts of power in the background. But this is the final re-creation of the systems I closed at the start of the 1990s.

MIST (and MUD and ROCK) will still probably end up as relics that nobody properly plays, but this project is not pretending to be anything other than an interesting throwback and museum piece now, which, 35 years after I closed it down, seems a fitting end. It also means I can resurrect Duncan Rogerson's arch-wizard, and that seems right, somehow. I will leave it up and running now.

(*) Since someone whined about my use of GPT - I could not have mentioned it, but I did because, for some tasks like this one, it saved me hundreds of hours and a lot of Googling. If I have to pick (which I do!) I'd rather use GPT than Google still. One of the useful things you can do with Deep Research is to give it a topic you want to aggregate information on (like ACCESS.USR usage) and send it away to make a summary PDF of the key points of what's useful, but triple-checked and sourced. I have read the Original TOPS-10 manuals that are wonderfully hosted on @bitsavers many times, I could knock up a perfect ACCESS.USR in a drunken stupor, whilst half asleep once, but these days I barely remember the 3-part octal protections, so I am happy to have a reference I don't need to read 10 parts of 3 different manuals to make. That's why I use AI, and I am perfectly comfortable with that. Since I work in AI Ethics and actually put into practice what I preach, I am comfortable with my use of AI, and I always disclose it :P

This one might be interesting to anyone interested in computer gaming history.

dec10.uknet.net

I spent the last couple of weeks finally finishing a project I started for Bletchley Park about 20 years ago. Recreating the original MUD and MIST on a mirror of the original Essex University system that finally closed in 1991.

Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle wrote the first online multi-user game (MUD) on Essex University's DECSystem-10 in 1978 and it ran till I closed it in 1991. I diligently backed everything up so I could potentially recover it one day, but as far as I can see, all the DECSystem-10's went to the great scrapyard in the sky, my backups were mostly stolen when my first museum was stolen, and I had huge issues recovering the Essex BCPL compiler to compile what I had left when I finally got a decent TOPS-10 emulator running on a VAX for Bletchley Park.

One good thing about being an unemployable whistleblower is free time, so I finally hunkered down to some 90 hour weeks and built a software replica of the Essex system I think reflects it well. It's running on a KS10 not a KL10 but I had to let some things slip.

I put the latest known versions of MUD and MIST on it, and miraculously found ROCK too.

So, to meander to the point, if you want to see and relive exactly what online multi user gaming was like from 1978 to 1991, you can go to:

dec10.uknet.net

Or:

telnet telnet.dec10.uknet.net

(Port 2653 is available for ISPs that block 23)

And then follow the terse instructions from there.

In those days, you were generally faced with a "." prompt and left mostly alone, so for authenticity, I will leave it at that.

I should note that although they were, in their day, wildly popular games with a relatively huge community, this is a museum peice in snapshot-form at the moment. But I will leave them up and running to see what happens and as a useful reference. I wasn't going to, but Richard seemed happy to have MUD running, and former MIST players wanted it back, so...

Pop this a share if you know folks who might be interested.

** Update: New web client that works better.

** Another update - I added a telnet client.

Historically, the telnet connection is much more true to the traditional experience, where you were connecting to a working machine that didn't care about the MUD Guests, so there were no pointers at all. Just rumour and hearsay :)

If any of you Unix/Security people notice I messed up something, please tell me. I left "^], !sh" open on the telnet link for about 2 minutes and nearly had a heart-attack once I spotted it :D

(don't try this on a phone!)

The porthole window of a modular unit from Japan’s now-demolished Nagakin Capsule Tower, on display at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. Built in 1972, the tower was a radical experiment in urban living, consisting of prefabricated micro-dwellings that were attached to central cores and could (in theory) be replaced and rearranged as needed. More information and photos in the link in the comments.

A circular glass window set in a white wall. A triangle of accordion-like folds extends from a central metal disk to the lower rim, and appears to be a cleverly designed shade that can be expanded by rotating it around the circumference of the window. Through the glass we see the interior of a very small room, awash in warm yellow light from a half-spherical fixture in the ceiling. In the far wall is a narrow door with a rounded top and bottom, opened to reveal a glimpse of a toilet in a tiny bathroom. We also glimpse part of a painting hung on the adjacent wall. Another doorway leads out to a hallway in the rest of the MoMA exhibit. As the display is close to one of the museum’s windows, the porthole window also reflects the snow-covered street outside.

“Besteck” / Cutlery

View looking down at a restaurant table (at Frenchette Bakery inside the Whitney Museum in Manhattan). A metal fork and knife, simple but elegant, are placed atop a pink paper placemat with a green border. In between them is a long rectangular menu with a cover slightly lifting upwards. The cover is plain, with a gradient of pale blue-green lightening towards the bottom, and displaying the words “Frenchette Bakery at the Whitney” in stylish font. To me the menu evokes the shape of a skyscraper with a slanted roofline.

Installation in progress.

A hallway inside the Morgan Library and Museum in New York. Marble walls rise up to a groin-vaulted ceiling with elaborate ornamentation and Renaissance-themed imagery. An overhead lamp illuminates a stairway leading off to the right. In the middle of the photo is a doorway under a lunette with large text that reads “RENOIR DRAWINGS.” Through the doorway we can see a banner with an artwork reproduction hanging on a far wall: Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s “Portrait of a Girl (Elisabeth Maître),” featuring a brown-haired girl in a blue dress. The lower part of the banner is blocked from view by dark folding screens and a small red sign that says “INSTALLATION IN PROGRESS.” A rope barrier between two stanchions further discourages entry.

“Rückansicht” / Rear view

“Perseus with the Head of Medusa” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I decided to crop out the most relevant part, because the world has seen enough violence towards vilified women.

A view of the back of the marble statue “Perseus with the Head of Medusa” (1804-6) by Antonio Canova, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The statue stands off-center to the left, seen from the buttocks up. Perseus is naked except for a flowing drape over his left arm, which extends out of frame. He wears a winged helmet, his curly hair peeking out as he looks left. His right arm hangs low, the hand gripping a short sword with a hook protruding from the blade’s edge. In the background is a shadowy doorway surrounded by an enormous stone frame with carved ornamentation. Above is a glimpse of the curve of a stone arch and some green metal bars. Sunlight from an unseen skylight above falls on the statue, accentuating its musculature and giving it a warm-toned glow.

Nooit is de winter on New York zo goed vastgelegd. De kou is voelbaar | Winter in New York has never been captured so well. You can feel the cold.
Saul Leiter in

Een kleurenfoto uit New York na de tweede wereldoorlog van een straat waar het hartje winter is. De lens is ietwat beslagen door de vrieskou doordat de fotograaf achter een winkelruit deze opname heeft gemaakt. Een oudere vrouw passeert de winkelruit en een man probeert zijn handen warm te krijgen. In de verte zie je hoge gebouwen. Overal ligt sneeuw en de koud is voelbaar. De kleuren zijn daardoor ook gedempt.

Hyères By Night – 56
Maréchal Foch Avenue
Hyères, French Riviera



A deserted street at night, rendered in stark monochrome, stretches forward under a row of low, decorative arches of light. The lamps hang like lit lace across the road, their soft, festive glow cutting through the surrounding darkness and creating bright pockets that reflect on the asphalt. Leafless trees, pruned into knobby silhouettes, punctuate the sidewalk at regular intervals; their bare branches reach up and out, throwing thin, branched shadows that intersect with the pool of streetlight. On the right, an elegant two-story building with a modest balcony and columned entrance stands quiet and shuttered. Its façade picks up the light in gentle bands, revealing architectural details — railings, window frames, and the texture of the walls — while the deeper parts of the structure melt into shadow. The left side of the frame is darker and more austere: a row of trunks and a single bright streetlamp that flares in the exposure, its halo softening the hard lines around it. The road itself provides a strong compositional lead: crosswalk stripes and lane markings guide the eye inward toward the vanishing point, where the illuminated arches repeat and diminish into the distance. There’s a subtle curve to the street that adds a sense of movement, even in the stillness — as if the scene is holding its breath between two passing moments. Overall, the image balances a quiet, almost cinematic solitude with a faintly festive note given by the string lights.

[Museums-Tipp] Über Jahrhunderte glaubten Menschen, dass Einhörner wirklich existieren. Entsprechend finden sich zahlreiche Darstellungen des Einhorns in Kunstwerken verschiedener Kulturen.

Das Museum Barberini in Potsdam begibt sich nun in einer großen Ausstellung auf die Spur der Einhörner: musermeku.org/einhorn-ausstell

Text: Bis ins 17. Jahrhundert galten die in Kirchen und Kunstkammern aufbewahrten „Einhorn-Hörner" als Beweis dafür, dass Einhörner wirklich existierten. Tatsächlich handelte es sich bei den Objekten aber um Narwalzähne. - jetzt bei musermeku.org

Portret van een man voor een geel gordijn van een raam. De schildersstijl van de man is in kleurenvlakken weergegeven. De man kijkt wat beteuterd. Zijn. gezicht is aardig donker. Hij heeft kort zwart haar naar achter gekamd. Op zijn witte jas prijkt een gele knoop. Dat kan ook een medaille zijn. Boven het gordijn zie je nog net de blauwe lucht met drie wolken.

Can 1960s UK be put in a box? It's been done.

English fashion photographer and TV commercial director David Bailey shaped the popular image of the UK's mid-60s cultural revolution. Back then, England's larger cities helped redefine activism, culture, art, and music, ranging from the anti-nuclear movement, sexual liberation, psychedelic subculture, supermodel Twiggy, and the miniskirt, to the global British Invasion of pop bands.

In 1964, Bailey published Box Of Pin-Ups with 36 loose photos of the fashionable and famous. The Box was a celebration of the growing celebrity culture. Four of the pin-ups were young women, the rest were the young men who fuelled the Swinging Sixties that Bailey photographed. Among them were Mick Jagger and The Beatles' song-writing duo John Lennon and Paul McCartney—the ultimate pin-ups of that era.

For more of these photos, see V&A's online catalogue: collections.vam.ac.uk/search/?

A black-and-white photo of two of The Beatles band members, Paul McCartney and John Lennon, one behind the other, against a white background. The original photo is 32×37 centimeters (about a square foot). Photo: Victoria & Albert Museum. To see this or other David Bailey photos, request them in advance from the Prints and Drawings room in the V&A's South Kensington site.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an indoor scene that appears to be a museum or exhibition space. In the foreground, there are several people sitting on benches and standing around a central display. The individuals are dressed casually, and some are carrying handbags. They seem to be engaged in various activities, such as looking at exhibits or conversing with each other. The central display features a large painting or mural that occupies a significant portion of the vertical space in the image. The painting appears to have a realistic style, but the details are not clear due to the distance and angle from which the photograph is taken. Above the painting, there's an illuminated sign or information board with text that is too small and blurred to read clearly. To the right of the main photo, there is a smaller inset image showing the same scene but from a different perspective. This inset image captures more people who are not present in the main photo, suggesting it might have been taken at a different moment or angle. The overall atmosphere of the image suggests an event or gathering taking place in a cultural or historical venue, possibly associated with art or education. The black and white color scheme gives the photograph a timeless or classic feel, emphasizing the contrast and textures within the scene.

A relatively cool room inside the gorgeous colonial building of the Old Government House Museum on Tortola for today.

We're indoors, in a small room with a tropical, colonial feel to it thanks to the decor. A white wall and ceiling are across the small space from us, angled slightly so that we're almost looking into the corner of the room where a decorative urn with Greek or Roman-style figures in relief on its white exterior hosts a tall plant, possibly a type of thin, green bamboo with plenty of spear-point leaves branching off its tips. The plant reaches almost to the ceiling and its deep green contrasts nicely with the white wall and the small, square, terracotta tiles on the floor. A shaft of muted sunlight reaches across the tiles from the right somewhere to illuminate one half of the urn. A small pot with a plant with larger leaves sits on the floor against the wall to the left of the urn and left again is a small stand made from cane and wicker supporting another pot and another small plant. There's a small, framed, faded painting of a beach scene with distant island on the wall above that. Central in the wall there is a rectangular sash window with each of the two panes further split into four equal panes of glass within thin frames. The glass is misted up, perhaps a deliberate measure, perhaps a result of the humid climate and relative cool of the interior, but we can see it's bright outside with green grass beneath water then dark hills and finally the white sky.

Schilderij van een oudere vrouw, keurig gekleed in een grijze jurk met een kanten boordje zit voor het raam waar je heel duidelijk de lege straat ziet door het hoge standpunt. Dat laatste is een kenmerk van de kunststroming de 'Nieuwe Zakelijkheid'.

👉 Vernetzung von Kultur mit Bildungseinrichtungen

Für mich ist klar:
Kultur schafft Räume der Begegnung – und sie baut Brücken, ermöglicht Teilhabe und eröffnet Wege, sich einzubringen und auszudrücken.

Tails Tuesday 25th November 2025.

HB-IRN [Fake registration], Douglas DC-3, in Swiss Air colours, on display at the base of the observation mound in the middle of Munich Strauss, 30th September 1996.
This plane never actually served with Swiss Air - the real HB-IRN is on display at the Swiss Transport Museum (which, co-incidentally, I accidentally visited in 1990!) in Lucerne.
Instead, this spent most of it's career with SAS Scandinavian Airlines and Kar-Air, before being donated for display on the rooftop terraces at Frankfurt Airport, where, co-incidentally, I saw it in 1993!


Close-up of the tail of a World War 2-era twin-engined airliner parked on grass facing to the left. The plane is largely in a silvery-grey bare metal finish, with a thick red stripe at the top of the tail, with a large white cross in the middle, and a large red beacon right at the top. In the background, the nose/centre engine of a 3-engined airliner peeks into the frame on the left, with grass, trees, and a car park filling the rest of the background.

Bonus Photo of the Day 23rd November 2025.

G-BEOZ, Armstrong-Whitworth AW650 Argosy 101, Elan Air, on display at East Midlands Aeropark, a museum adjacent to East Midlands Airport, 29thn April 1992.



Side view of a high-winged, 4 propellor-engined cargo plane parked facing to the right on grass as part of an external museum exhibit. The plane is largely white, with a maroon lower half, and red "Elan" titles under red images of an athlete starting to run out of starting blocks on the upper forward fuselage, under the cockpit which is in a bump on the forward fuselage. The plane's fuselage is quite short, finishing not far behind the wings. 2 engines are mounted on each wing, the inner engine pod holding both the main undercarriage, and a long tail boom, which extends rearwards to the twin tails which have a large horizontal stabiliser mounted between them. A pair of cars, one grey, the other brown, are parked on a sandy gravel track in the foreground, with trees in the background lining the Aero park's perimeter, under cloudy grey sky. A much smaller white plane is trying to squeeze into frame on the left.

The plane's fuselage is quite short, finishing not far behind the wings. 2 engines are mounted on each wing, the inner engine pod holding both the main undercarriage, and a long tail boom, which extends rearwards to the twin tails which have a large horizontal stabiliser mounted between them. A pair of cars, one grey, the other brown, are parked on a sandy gravel track in the foreground, with trees in the background lining the Aero park's perimeter, under cloudy grey sky. A much smaller white plane is trying to squeeze into frame on the left.

The picture is black and white. It shows the inside of a forge focusing on the corner of the room. The sides of the pictures are brightly lit creating sharp shadows, the corner that's in the middle of the image is more shadowed. The head of the featurless blacksmith mannequin contrasts sharply with its dark background. He is turned with the back to he viewer, forever working on its nonexistent project.

Icelandic Turf Houses – Skógar Museum These beautifully preserved turf houses at Skógar Museum (Skógasafn) near Skógafoss, Iceland, offer a rare glimpse into the country’s traditional architecture and way of life. Built with thick stone walls and grass-covered roofs, these homes were ingeniously designed to provide warmth and protection against Iceland’s fierce winds and long winters. Part of the museum’s open-air collection, the turf houses recreate a 19th-century Icelandic farmstead, complete with living quarters, storage rooms, and workshops. Their dark timber frames contrast strikingly against the lush green hillside, symbolizing the harmony between human craftsmanship and the rugged natural world. Founded in 1949, Skógar Museum preserves more than 18,000 artifacts across its Folk, Maritime, and Technical collections. Together they tell the story of how Icelanders endured isolation, harnessed the land and sea, and built a resilient culture rooted in creativity and faith. #Image: https://fineartamerica.com/featured/icelandic-turf-houses-skogar-museum-wayne-moran.html Read more: https://waynemoranphotography.com/blog/chasing-light-across-iceland-our-21-day-adventure/ #TurfHouses #SkógarMuseum #museum #Vik #landscape #Iceland #nature #travelPHotogrpahy #Landscape #art #fineart #ayearforart #buyintoart

It’s hard to say that 2025 was a year of #portrait or #model photography… Everyone only wants Meta material, and I’m not playing along anymore… But in fact, I do enjoy taking photos, and then you end up with something like this.

Pedro de Mena / Mater Dolorosa 17th century #spain

When the weather turns a bit grey and boredom kicks in,
go to the #museum ! And bring a camera… You might even run into a #model there.

"Queen Elizabeth Park Tram"

A side view of a vintage tram, labeled "180," at the beach end of a grassy track in a sunset rural setting. The tram is cream and deep red, with wooden window frames, and is a preserved historic electric trolley. Two people wearing high-visibility vests are standing on the left side near the open front entrance. In the background, there are low hills covered in vegetation, and the sky is overcast. A wooden utility pole with overhead wires is visible on the right.

“Werkzeug” / Tool

A video I shot of a self-operating mortar-and-pestle, at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi.

River water is channeled into a hollowed-out log with a pestle attached at one end, resting in a mortar bowl. When the log fills up, it tips back to release the water into the river, and then — newly empty — falls back down, smashing the pestle into the bowl. An ingenious way to grind grain while you’re off doing other work in the fields.

"A vignette"

A dynamic museum display at the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre in Blenheim. Two full-scale, historical replica World War I German aircraft (recognizable by the black Iron Cross markings on the wings) are suspended, depicting an aerial dogfight over a battlefield. In the foreground, a large, two-seater biplane (likely a German Aviatik) is angled sharply, showing the pilot and the gunner (who is operating a machine gun from the rear cockpit). The biplane has a beige, worn canvas finish and detailed engine components visible. In the background, a smaller biplane (a German fighter like a Fokker or Albatros) is flying further away, silhouetted against a dramatic, back-lit wall mural depicting an orange-and-yellow sky suggesting fire and smoke over an aerial photo of trenches and fields below.

Hyères By Night – 40
Maréchal Foch Avenue
Hyères, French Riviera



The image captures a quiet urban street scene at night, rendered in striking black and white tones. The lack of color draws attention to contrasts and shapes, creating a timeless, almost cinematic atmosphere. The street, devoid of any vehicles or pedestrians, enhances the feeling of solitude and calm. On the left side, bare trees line the sidewalk, their leafless branches reaching up like skeletal fingers into the night sky, illuminated subtly by a lone streetlamp whose light casts a gentle glow and softens the shadows. Suspended above the road is a pedestrian bridge or walkway, delicately outlined yet blending into the darkness, adding depth and an element of architectural interest. The right side presents a stately building, its facade accented with neat, bright lighting that highlights its classical lines and symmetrical windows. The lights emphasize the building's formality and solidity, making it a bright focal point amidst the quiet surrounding shadows. The clean road markings, including an arrow and crosswalk, suggest this is a well-maintained urban area, but the absence of activity hints at a late hour or a moment frozen in time. Symbolically, the image may evoke themes of isolation, stillness, or introspection, often found in nocturnal cityscapes. The stark contrast between light and dark, nature and structure, emptiness and form, invites a contemplative mood, encouraging viewers to reflect on the quiet beauty often hidden in everyday urban environments at night.

Hyères By Night – 35
The Local Art Museum
(Formerly a Bank)
Hyères, French Riviera



The image captures a stately building illuminated at night, its classical architecture accentuated by warm spotlights. The light highlights the building's facade, revealing clean lines, tall rectangular windows, and a prominent cornice that runs along the roofline. The brightness contrasts beautifully with the deep night sky, creating a serene and somewhat dramatic ambiance. In the foreground, a leafless tree with thick, textured branches stands, its silhouette like angular brushstrokes against the glow of the building. This barren tree adds an element of starkness, possibly suggesting a season like late autumn or winter. The interplay between the natural forms of the tree and the geometric precision of the building creates a compelling visual tension. Above the building, soft string lights trace along the balcony, adding a festive or elegant touch, infusing the scene with warmth and subtle celebration. The overall mood of the scene is peaceful yet dignified, resonant with cultural richness and urban charm. This kind of architecture, paired with lighting, often symbolizes heritage and continuity, celebrating the built environment's role in history and community. The artist's signature in the corner suggests an appreciation for this nocturnal cityscape, framing it as an enduring and beautiful moment in time.

A coupe, by the workshop of Dionysio Miseroni, after c. 1600.

Clearly a decorative piece rather than one used for actual drinking, the bowl of this coupe is carved from a single piece of rock crystal, and shaped into the dramatic form of a monster's head.

Capela Sistina no Vaticano
10 de novembro de 2022

Tivemos a oportunidade de fazer um tour privado do Museu do Vaticano bem cedo de manhã, por volta das 6h, onde acompanharíamos o guardião das chaves a abrir cada sala do museu e acender as luzes antes do público entrar.

São centenas de portas e interruptores, e nosso pequeno grupo pode, cada um, abrir (ou tentar abrir) as pesadas portas de ferro que fecham cada sala do museu. Foram 2h de percurso no escuro pelos corredores do museu, apenas com uma lanterna, e pouco a pouco íamos acendendo as luzes acompanhados do nascer do sol.

No final do passeio fomos na mítica Capela Sistina. Para quem já foi nesse lugar, sabe como as hordas de turistas tornam impossível visitar a capela de forma digna - não tem tempo para olhar nem apreciar nem entender.

Então poder passear pelos corredores do museu, entrar nas salas e visitar a Capela Sistina de manhãzinha, sem pessoas, foi um tanto especial.

A princípio é proibido tirar fotos da Capela Sistina por questões de propriedade intelectual (segundo o guardião das chaves, uma empresa japonesa que adquiriu os direitos das imagens?!) mas ele nos permitiu fotografar "em segredo", e nos pediu que fôssemos discretos. (como se não houvesse milhares de fotos dela internet afora!)

Seguem então algumas fotos da capela.

Faces of the past, carved in marble. Each one tells a story – of power, faith, art, and the human desire for immortality. Looking into those stone eyes, you can almost feel the weight of time and the beauty that has endured through centuries.

I stopped by the new #momaps1 installation featuring Ayoung Kim's multimedia work, 'Delivery Dancer Codex'. There's a lot to mull over - I'll probably end up visiting again.

Here's a quick #Polaroid snap from part of the installation with #polaroidsun660 - can't believe the image rendered despite it being a dimly lit indoor scene.

The National Gallery London England

The National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, in Central London, England. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900.

The National Gallery London England The National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, in Central London, England. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. The Gallery is an exempt charity, and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Its collection belongs to the government on behalf of the British public, and entry to the main collection is free of charge. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic it attracted only 1,197,143 visitors, a drop of 50 per cent from 2019, but it still ranked eighth on the list of most-visited art museums in the world. Unlike comparable museums in continental Europe, the National Gallery was not formed by nationalising an existing royal or princely art collection. It came into being when the British government bought 38 paintings from the heirs of John Julius Angerstein in 1824. After that initial purchase, the Gallery was shaped mainly by its early directors, especially Charles Lock Eastlake, and by private donations, which now account for two-thirds of the collection.

ALT text detailsThe National Gallery London England The National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster, in Central London, England. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. The Gallery is an exempt charity, and a non-departmental public body of the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Its collection belongs to the government on behalf of the British public, and entry to the main collection is free of charge. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic it attracted only 1,197,143 visitors, a drop of 50 per cent from 2019, but it still ranked eighth on the list of most-visited art museums in the world. Unlike comparable museums in continental Europe, the National Gallery was not formed by nationalising an existing royal or princely art collection. It came into being when the British government bought 38 paintings from the heirs of John Julius Angerstein in 1824. After that initial purchase, the Gallery was shaped mainly by its early directors, especially Charles Lock Eastlake, and by private donations, which now account for two-thirds of the collection.

We're in a museum* and there's two smelly holes. One is something like mint, the other jasmine.

While I identify the smells instantly I cannot for the love of it identify any color, or either as "cold" or "warm". @juliette does.

Just curious for others who've tried this: do you link smells to temperature and/or colors?

People looking at art, perplexed. Bozar. John Baldessari. November 2025.
I just visited this exhibition in Brussels. I'm actually posting this while I'm still sitting in it. I had never heard of this guy before. He seemed to have had a happy life. It looks like it was easy to be him, but perhaps he wasn't so at ease. It must be hard to be a successful conceptual artist when the line between depth and scam is so fine. At least he didn't seem to have money issues. Some of the exhibited work was interesting, especially when he referred to the work of others. After some time, though, I felt more annoyed than inspired. But I guess that says more about me than the work.

A life-sized model of a dinosaur sculpture displayed indoors on a textured rock-like base. The dinosaur is adorned with a small, black witch’s hat perched on its head, adding a whimsical touch. The sculpture features a detailed, textured body with dark spots and stripes along its back and tail. The setting appears to be an indoor public space, such as a museum or exhibition area, with a tiled floor and glass doors in the background. The scene is softly lit, highlighting the playful contrast between the prehistoric creature and the festive hat.

Close by Antony Gormley in Japan

YOU CAN FIND IT HERE:fineartamerica.com/featured/cl

By buff.ly/3i3uCm2

The sculpture Close by Antony Gormley in the Hakone Open Air Museum at Kanagawa. Japan Antony Gormely began making works like this one in the 1980’s, works which were meant to be shown in the open, by transferring his own flesh into sculpture. He modeled this work on his own body, and forged the sculpture out of 1 tonne of 1500℃ liquid iron, at that temperature, hot as the magma at the core of the Earth. Gormely says that the human body is a part of the Earth; one unit of nature. By stripping away any features or personality and leaving behind only a representation of naked, universal existence, he teaches us that the universe and humankind are one.

It was one of those days when I was rushing between trains, but I decided to take the opportunity to spend some time in the museum. I remember seeing the photo exhibition 'Images d'Algérie' by Pierre Bourdieu. The photos were disposable, but the accompanying texts, some hand writen from his notebooks, were great archival pieces. A nice look back at my day studying social sciences. It was next to the "Bunker Archaeology" exhibition by Paul Virilio, which was a really great surprise — I really enjoyed this collection of bunkers from WWII that still stand on french coast.

Our family friend Sanshiro came from Tōkyō to hold a solo concert at The Museum of Kyōto (京都文化博物館), singing chanson and handling complex Debussy piano melodies. The red brick building, as I had suspected, was from the Meiji Era, built in 1906. I'm often surprised by what I discover in Kyōto, and Japanese people are reserved and humble, so you don't know who you might be dealing with. When six of us went for coffee after the performance, one of the elderly women pulled Sanshiro out to her temple, which turned out to have the famous six-sided Rokkaku-dō building, and her family has the Ikenobō (池坊) school of flower arrangement. More astonishingly, she was not only a former Cabinet member but also one of Japan's small Imperial family. She gave me the elegant calendar shown in the fourth photo.

today, and we thought it was going to be more bearable but it's been excruciatingly hot and humid here. We've only sweated more in Vietnam.

A very slow walk brought us to the Old Government House . Wonderful place and staff, gorgeous gardens.

More slow walking later brought us to the Pusser's Pub for a fantastic rum cocktail, friendly staff, loads of naval memorabilia, and powerful air conditioning.

On the balcony drinking champagne now.

We're in one corner of a dining room in a colonial style house. The floors are dark wood, smooth enough to reflect light coming in from the windows on one wall opposite us. The walls are painted light green while the window frames stand out with a darker shade. Between the two windows and on the adjacent wall too there are painted murals with arched tops, both depicting tropical island scenes. A rectangular dining table in dark wood seats six and the table is set for a formal dinner. Through the windows opposite we can see bright sunlight hitting lush foliage.

Gestern waren wir im Von der Heidt in . Eine wirklich feine Sammlung dort. Insbesondere bei den dort ausgestellten Expressionist:innen waren einige Schätzeken dabei.

Besonders positiv aufgefallen ist mir der transparente Umgang mit der der Exponate: Fast an Jedem befand sich ein Hinweis hierauf in Textform und zusätzlich noch in einer leicht erkennbaren rot-orange-gelb-grün Ampel. Wirklich gut. Wir hatten einen tollen Tag dort.

#doorsday #thursdaydoors In the sculpture garden surrounding the Kunstmuseum in The Hague, there's a fragment wall adorned with all sorts of Greek-style ornaments. Originally built for the Historical Museum, the wall ultimately ended up in this garden, a garden that otherwise features primarily modern sculptures. It has an alienating effect, especially this mesh-enclosed door. There's nothing behind it, but it's a free-for-all for your imagination. #denhaag #kunstmuseum #nederland #thehague #photography #art #historic #museum #doors #photography #fediverse #fotografie #pixelfed
A rectangular gate is set into a wall of small brown-red stones, surrounded by a border of stone ornaments. At the top, on either side, stands a Greek-style sculpted, busty woman. Together, they support a stone roof above the door. The doorway is closed with wire mesh, completely overgrown with ivy.

“Um die Ecke” / Around the corner

Digging out a favorite older photo. The Titanosaur fossil (Patagotitan mayorum) at the Museum of Natural History in NYC is 122 feet long and slightly too big for the room — its skull pokes out of the entrance and peers around the corner, looking into the hallway. A dramatic sight to welcome visitors to the museum’s dinosaur galleries. (Panorama shot — tap and zoom in for details.)

Panorama photo of a dinosaur skeleton illuminated by spotlights in a darkened museum gallery. Its extremely long neck stretches across the image to the doorway at left, with the skull poking out into the corridor beyond. People mill around in the shadows at bottom frame, dwarfed by the size of the fossil.

A front, right-side view of Union Pacific #900081. This snowplow features a 12-foot diameter cutting wheel that would turn as fast as 150 revolutions per minute and could throw snow up to 300 feet away from the tracks. The cutting wheel was driven by a 16-cylinder 3,000-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine. It was not self-propelled and had to be pushed by at least three locomotives. This snowplow was last used in 1994 in Wyoming.

The Gilded Room ⚜️ Boiserie from the Hôtel de Cabris, Grasses @ The MET, 2012

Adorned in gilded wooden framing and neoclassical stylings, this room sits timelessly in New York. The room and paneling was originally erected in 1774 in Paris, France, coincidentally the same year as the American Revolution.

Photo of the central atrium of the Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation at the American Museum of Natural History. The design evokes a rock canyon, avoiding straight lines in favor of organic curves and contours. Sunlight casts the shadow of a barred window in warm rectangles of light on a central “stone” arch. Further back is the glass-paneled facade and entrance, several stories high, beyond which is a tall tree with vivid green leaves and city buildings and streets.

A working vintage voting machine from the Shirley Chisholm exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York. I felt a small thrill as I pulled the lever for Chisholm — the first Black woman to be elected to Congress and to run for president, in 1972 — and tried to imagine the alternate timeline where she won and took this country to a better place. We’re still trying to get there.

Black and white photo of a vertical list of candidates on the face of a mechanical voting machine. At the top is text that reads “1972 Presidential Primary Election / June 20, 1972” followed by “Col. 1 / DEMOCRATIC” and the candidates’ names: Shirley Chisholm, Hubert Humphrey, Edward Kennedy, John Lindsay, George McGovern, Edmund Muskie, George Wallace. To the right of each name is a square window and a small black lever; most of the windows are blank with the levers pointed up, while the lever for Chisholm has been pulled down, causing an “X” to appear in her window.

If you’ll permit, a photo of a photo. This image has stayed with me ever since I saw it in the Vietnamese Women’s Museum in Hanoi. I grew up with Western narratives of the war, and it was eye-opening to see stories from “the other side.” I find this moment striking — a depiction of joy in resistance, and of communal bonds forged in struggle. (No photo credit, but I’ll add the info if I find it.)

A historical black and white photograph mounted on a red wall at the Vietnamese Women’s Museum. Three female guerrilla soldiers in hats and scarves, carrying rifles, stand outdoors amid indistinct surroundings and share a moment of laughter. I’m sure these photos were used for morale-boosting propaganda (as all sides do in war), but I’m still struck by the apparently sincere lighthearted moment this image seems to capture. Museum text below the photo reads: Nữ du kích Female guerillas Femmes de la guérilla Củ Chí (Củ Chí is a district in Southern Vietnam where the photo was taken.)

#fensterfreitag #windowfriday No, this isn't a romantic window of a holiday cottage, but the window of a prison cell in the "Gevangenpoort (prison gate)," a medieval prison in The Hague. Since 1882, the building has been a museum about the history of the building and the prison system. The cell shown here was for the wealthy and the nobility. For the common people, there were small, dark, windowless cells in the basement, sometimes holding as many as 15 men. But food there was free. If you had (payed for) such a beautiful cell with a window and a view, you had to have your own food brought to you. You could also bring your own furniture and servants! Today, all kinds of torture instruments are displayed in this room. That lovely wood-burning stove was used to heat branding irons! #photography #history #fotografie #fediverse #prison #historic #denhaag #thenetherlands #nederland #museum
Photo of a corner of a room, with a white plastered wall on the left containing an open window. The window is split into two sections that open inward. These two windows have red-painted wooden frames and stained glass panes. The windows themselves have crosswise iron round mullions. The light shines into the room. On the right, part of an iron wood-burning stove is visible.

Photo of a corner of a room, with a white plastered wall on the left containing an open window. The window is split into two sections that open inward. These two windows have red-painted wooden frames and stained glass panes. The windows themselves have crosswise iron round mullions. The light shines into the room. On the right, part of an iron wood-burning stove is visible.

Der #SteinvonRosette (196 v. Chr.) im British Museum in #London, Wallfahrtsort für uns Übersetzer*innen. 😋 Die #Stele wurde im Nildelta bei der Stadt Raschid (Rosetta) gefunden und zeigt langweiliges Blabla in drei verschiedenen Sprachen – Hieroglyphen, Demotisch und Altgriechisch –, sodass man mit seiner Hilfe endlich viele ägyptische #Hieroglyphen entziffern konnte. // The #RosettaStone at the #BritishMuseum in London is something of a pilgrimage for us translators. 😋 The stele was found in the Nile Delta near the town of Rashid (Rosetta) and is inscribed with some terribly boring blah blah in three different languages – hieroglyphs, Demotic, and Ancient Greek – which famously unlocked the secret of #Egyptian #hieroglyphs.

An ancient Egyptian stone tablet is covered in columns of engraved hieroglyphs. The carvings are stylised and intricate, depicting various symbols, animals, and human figures. The stone is dark, with lighter markings within the engraved lines. The tablet appears to be a formal inscription or a part of a larger monument, with the carvings arranged neatly in vertical lines.

“Lieblingsoutfit” / Favorite outfit (but not for me)

Of all the outfits Prince wore, the iconic ruffled shirt from the Purple Rain era is my favorite. Displayed at the Met Museum exhibit “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” on view through October.

Prince’s elaborate white polyester shirt against a black backdrop, on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Closeup on the torso and left sleeve (viewer’s right), speckled with see-through dots. Prominently featured is a fall of layered ruffles (a.k.a. a jabot) hanging from a high collar with pearl buttons. The sleeve (along with the unseen one) is puffed and gathered in sections in a 19th-century style. The lighting emphasizes the dotted texture of the embroidered fabric and the play of light and shadow on the sleeve and ruffles. From the text on the museum placard: Marie France (French, b. 1945) Louis & Vaughn (American, founded 1981) Louis Wells (American, 1957-2018) Vaughn Terry Jelks (American, b. 1950) Shirt worn by Prince, ca. 1984 White dotted polyester jacquard

A well-preserved, vintage hairdresser's shop interior, likely from the mid-20th century. The room has light-coloured walls with an arched decorative trim, and a rustic wooden floor. On the left, a large, dark wood and glass display cabinet is filled with various old-fashioned hairdressing tools, products, and equipment. An old electric fan sits on top of the cabinet. In the centre is a classic, dark wooden barber's chair with a white cloth draped over it. To the right, a white ceramic sink and a large mirror are mounted on the wall, with an array of shaving brushes, bottles, and other grooming implements displayed on the shelf. The space has a nostalgic feel, showing the tools of the trade from a bygone era.

Another #FensterFreitag today, because it's a rather messy one. The #window is from the #DeutschesAuswandererhaus (German Emigration Center) #museum in #Bremerhaven. It's a museum dedicated to the history of German #emigration. Unfortunately it was closed already (we opted for the Klimahaus climate museum next door that day), so I could only take a photo from the outside and capture the neon writing inside. It's rather trippy with the #reflections, but I like it. 😊

A photograph taken from outside the German Emigration Center museum (Deutsches Auswandererhaus) in Bremerhaven, looking in through a large window. The reflections of a large, modern brick building with numerous windows and a rounded glass section as well as another building and flags are visible on the glass. Inside the museum, an exhibition is displayed behind the window, featuring white neon writing with the phrase "Over 7 million people departed from here to an unknown world" on it. The neon writing and the buildings are superimposed in the reflection. Bright orange and white light streaks, likely from a display inside the museum, and the text "A1: HEILIGENHAFEN" as well as "BERLIN" and "MÜNCHEN", amongst others, likely departure cities for German emigrants, are also part of the interior exhibition, appearing as a dynamic overlay on the static reflection of the external buildings. The image is a complex blend of interior exhibition elements and exterior reflections.

Another #FensterFreitag today, because it's a rather messy one. The #window is from the #DeutschesAuswandererhaus (German Emigration Center) #museum in #Bremerhaven. It's a museum dedicated to the history of German #emigration. Unfortunately it was closed already (we opted for the Klimahaus climate museum next door that day), so I could only take a photo from the outside and capture the neon writing inside. It's rather trippy with the #reflections, but I like it. 😊

A photograph taken from outside the German Emigration Center museum (Deutsches Auswandererhaus) in Bremerhaven, looking in through a large window. The reflections of a large, modern brick building with numerous windows and a rounded glass section as well as another building and flags are visible on the glass. Inside the museum, an exhibition is displayed behind the window, featuring white neon writing with the phrase "Over 7 million people departed from here to an unknown world" on it. The neon writing and the buildings are superimposed in the reflection. Bright orange and white light streaks, likely from a display inside the museum, and the text "A1: HEILIGENHAFEN" as well as "BERLIN" and "MÜNCHEN", amongst others, likely departure cities for German emigrants, are also part of the interior exhibition, appearing as a dynamic overlay on the static reflection of the external buildings. The image is a complex blend of interior exhibition elements and exterior reflections.

For , dig if you will a picture of Prince’s polyester shirt from the 1984-85 Purple Rain tour.

On display at the Met Museum’s fantastic exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” about the history and cultural impact of Black dandyism. Image of Prince on the museum placard (last photo) is by Phil Sandlin. Designer info in the alt text.

Prince’s elaborate white polyester shirt against a black backdrop, on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Closeup on the torso and left sleeve (viewer’s right), speckled with see-through dots. Prominently featured is a fall of layered ruffles (a.k.a. a jabot) hanging from a high collar with pearl buttons. The sleeve (along with the unseen one) is puffed and gathered in sections in a 19th-century style. The lighting emphasizes the dotted texture of the embroidered fabric and the play of light and shadow on the sleeve and ruffles. From the text on the museum placard: Marie France (French, b. 1945) Louis & Vaughn (American, founded 1981) Louis Wells (American, 1957-2018) Vaughn Terry Jelks (American, b. 1950) Shirt worn by Prince, ca. 1984 White dotted polyester jacquard

A view of the entire shirt against a black backdrop. The dramatic lighting again highlights the layered ruffles of the jabot and the puffed sections of the sleeves. From the museum placard: “During the period of his 1984 album and film Purple Rain, ruffled Regency-style shirts and closely cut tailcoats became his signature — a New Romantic echo of early nineteenth-century dandyism and the peacock styles of 1960s London. This top, designed by Marie France, made by Louis Wells and Vaughn Terry Jelks, and worn by Prince during the Purple Rain tour, features pearl buttons and bejeweled ‘cuff links,’ touches that enhance the garment's exuberant dandyism.”

“Traumwelt” / Dreamworld

I find this image dreamlike: a figure at the Met Museum’s exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” with the protective glass reflecting other figures across the room. Which one is dreaming the others?

Artist info in the alt text.

A scene from the Metropolitan Museum’s exhibition “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” about the history and current expressions of Black dandyism. Closeup on a bald mannequin, from torso up, in a dark pinstriped jacket with a posy of colorful flowers pinned to the lapel (1). The display’s protective glass reflects an identical mannequin across the room, wearing a black coat with gold braid and fringed epaulettes over tracksuit pants (2). A third mannequin is somewhat visible reflected against the jacket of the first one. The reflection also shows a person perusing framed artworks on the far wall. The museum lighting dramatically picks out elements of color against mostly subdued darker tones. Footnotes (info from the museum placards): (1) Emerie Tchatchoua in collaboration with Olga Prinku, “Suit,” 2021: Jacket of navy pinstriped wool gabardine embroidered with bouquet of polychrome dried flowers; trousers of navy pinstriped wool gabardine (2) Olivier Rousteing, “Ensemble,” 2023: Coat of black cotton velvet with fringed epaulets and Brandenburg closures of gold metallic braid with embroidered pearls and crystals; tracksuit of black, white, and gold polyester satin

The Great Hall of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, as seen from the second-floor balcony at the north end. A vast domed ceiling, with a central circular skylight ringed by lightbulbs, rests atop three massive arches. The middle arch leads into a second domed area with a similar arrangement of arches that in turn leads to a third. Each section of domes and arches recedes further from camera to create the impression of nested repeating geometric patterns. Beneath the side arches and the far middle arch are railed balconies overlooking the busy main floor, where people mill about the central information desk or the Egyptian statue at bottom frame. While the skylight is a luminous blue, the scene is predominantly in warm tones of tan and gold.

The image presents a panoramic view of a cityscape under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, there is a well-maintained garden with a variety of plants, including tall cacti and other succulents, arranged in a curved pattern along a stone wall. The garden is lush and green, with some yellow flowers adding a pop of color. Beyond the garden, the city unfolds with a mix of residential and commercial buildings, including several tall skyscrapers that form the city's skyline. The buildings are spread out across the landscape, with roads and green spaces interspersed among them. The overall scene is bright and sunny, with the city stretching out towards the horizon.

A low-angle, black and white shot of a rectangular opening framed by thick, light-colored walls, leading up to a ceiling composed of many square, translucent panels with a dark grid pattern. Below the ceiling, through the opening, a dark wall is visible, with a small, light-colored rectangular opening in it. A handrail is visible on the bottom right, suggesting a staircase leading to this opening in the foreground.

All of you taking photos: I wonder if you really see what's here or if you're so concerned with getting that perfect shot that you've forgotten this is a tragedy site, not a tourist attraction. As I continually had to move "out of someone's way" as they carefully tried to frame this place mourning. I kept wondering what makes us think we can capture the pain, the loss, the pride and the confusion - this complexity - into a 4 x 5 glossy. I love my city. Firegirl, NYC. 09/17/01

The image features a modern architectural structure with a light-colored stone facade, set against a clear blue sky. The building has multiple levels, with white railings and balconies visible. In the foreground, branches with pink flowers arch over the scene, creating a natural frame. The flowers are vibrant and contrast with the blue sky. The building is partially obscured by the branches, adding depth to the composition. The overall scene is bright and sunny, with no visible clouds.

Does anyone else dislike the recent Pixelfed mobile update as much as I do ? I liked being able to see new accounts and the ability to see what posts were trending today 🫤.

The image features a modern architectural structure set against a clear blue sky. The building is predominantly white, with a combination of smooth and textured surfaces. The facade includes large glass windows, allowing for natural light to enter. The structure has a geometric design with clean lines and angular forms, including a prominent overhanging section. In the foreground, there is a stone wall with a rough texture, contrasting with the smoothness of the building. A tree with sparse branches is visible on the left side, adding a natural element to the scene. The overall composition highlights the interplay between the man-made structure and the natural environment. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

The video showcases a decorative pillow featuring a black and white photograph of a steam engine's wheels. Initially, the pillow is displayed on a light-colored couch, with a textured white throw blanket partially visible in the foreground. The photograph on the pillow captures the intricate details of the wheels and the connecting rods, emphasizing the mechanical complexity of the steam engine. As the video progresses, additional elements are introduced. Text appears in the upper left corner, reading "DOUGLAS E. WELCH DESIGN AND PHOTOGRAPHY," indicating the creator of the design. Circular insets are added to the right side of the pillow, showcasing the same photograph on different products: a phone case, a tote bag, and a rectangular item, possibly a wallet or a small bag. This suggests that the design is available on multiple items. At the bottom of the frame, the text "Steam Engine Wheels" is displayed, followed by the website "DOUGLASEWELCH.COM/SHOP/791," providing a link for viewers to purchase the design.

Today Nov 9 / 25 I visited the museum again and passed by that fantastic sculpture once more. The artist is Domien Van den Bossche, it’s called The Widow and was made in white marble in 1890.

That day, I was a bundle of nerves and escaped to a #museum #MSKgent in #ghent to find a bit of peace. #voigtlander bessa R3A with an #carlzeissplanar50mmf2 and #ilfordxp2 #analog is timeless. #filmphotography #ilford #Gent #thisisbelgium #sculpture #photography #ishootfilm #grainisgood #portrait

I was mesmerized by this bronze sculpture by Kehinde Wiley, BOUND, on a recent visit to the Brooklyn Museum.

Black and white photo of Kehinde Wiley’s bronze sculpture BOUND (2014), three busts of Black women whose hair rises and intertwines above their heads. From the Brooklyn Museum’s description: “In Bound, the artist's first sculptural depiction of women, Kehinde Wiley constructs a tribute to Black femininity. Occupying the corners of the triangular base, the busts are nearly identical in their countenance—a steady, piercing gaze—as well as in their adornment and, perhaps, faith, given the crosses draped around their necks. They are further connected by their hair, which extends from each figure's head in a tightly braided updo that widens and loosens into an entwined flourish above their heads. Embellished with leaves, flowers, and birds, their crowns are given as much space and respect as the subjects themselves. Here, Wiley honors the beauty, function, and politics of hair in the lives of Black women.”

A closeup of Kehinde Wiley’s sculpture BOUND, focusing on the face of one of the bronze busts against a dark background. The Black woman’s face is in three-quarter view with her gaze directed towards the upper right frame. Her expression is somber, steely, confident, determined. Some intricate details of her hair are visible, as is part of a large hoop earring hanging from her unseen left ear.

No one wants to repeat history.

Paper ID (centered at the top it says identification card ). From the holocaust memorial museum in Washington DC (it's written centered and at the bottom). In the center there's an emblem of the U.S.A. eagle and on top of it you can read: for the dead and the living we must bear witness.

The scene inside a 1:12 scale workshop. In the background are two blue doors, a Health and Safety at work act poster, a folded Brompton bicycle, a red dog lead hanging up, and an openroller shutter showing an enclosed yard outside the workshop. There is also narrow gauge tram tracks set into the workshop floor. The view outside is a work in progress. Inside the workshop there are two Caucasian women doll figures. Harriet has dark hair, glasses, and is wearing a red tee shirt and blue jeans, Daisy has fair air and is wearing a grubby high viz coat. They are shaking hands. In front of them is a large Wadkin AGS10 table saw painted green. It is on a wooden pallet and tied down with rope. The pallet is on an orange pallet truck having just been brought into the workshop through the roller shutter. Outside in the yard is a grey and black needle felted mongrel dog called Monty Dog, and he is trying to pick up a black recycling collection box. In the bottom right hand corner of the image is a watermark showing the Maker of Things logo consisting of an outline of a circular saw blade surrounded by a spanner, a hand saw, a ruler, a screwdriver, a cable and plug, and a pencil forming a hexagon. Inside the tools are the words Maker of Things.

Resembles a bicycle with white balloon tires, spoked rims, black metal double-diamond frame, tan leather seat with bump absorbing springs, and slender, pullback handlebar. A round crank and pulley reside where tue pedals on a bicycle would be, with a tan leather belt looping back to a rim on the rear wheel nearly the diameter of the wheel itself. Other various mechanical bits reside within the main triangle.

This right here is why I got into the random-artefact-bot business in the first place. It’s like the cover of a mystery novel, it’s like a Cornell box, it’s like a Zen story about an artist who insists on leaving the last panel of a Japanese screen blank … it’s perfect.
