Robin of #carbonanotglue last Friday night. A brilliant night of 90 minutes of continuous #ramones played with gusto and precision.

Trying to find the (very) small joys of winter. Like the perpetual dawn effect of being this far north. It’s 4:30 PM GMT. #scotland #winter #SAD

Another from my #scotland series: the interior of #nationalmuseumofscotland which is still not on #bluesky (please get off twitter?) Many a rainy winter day spent wandering around in there. Always excellent. #edinburgh #blueskyartshow

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is all about #Fightingbirds so I’ve got two. #herons fighting with a random T-Rex in attendance, and two #crows having a spirited debate re: breeding territory. #greyheron #carrioncrow

Common bottlenose dolphin pod in the sound of Iona

From the #scotland series: common bottle-nosed #dolphin playing in the #soundofiona I have never lived in a place with such abundance of wilderness/wildlife. So many places where animals simply show up and are magnificent. #blueskyartshow #photography #iona

This is just a noise you’re making because you enjoy complaining and don’t actually want to solve the problem. #nimby

Graffiti walls could be rolled out after success in Melksham The project aims give local artists the opportunity to showcase their talent.

I'm afraid you're factually incorrect. They have worked in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Wilstshire. As someone who has worked to make legal walls possible in my area, I am confident I know more about graffiti than you do. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I ALWAYS feel like an alien and humans disappoint me continually.

Then be part of the solution. Get your council to fund legal graffiti walls. They help to redirect this type of activity.
