👍🏼 Part of Godfrey Reggio’s trilogy, along with Koyaanisqatsi and Naqoyqatsi.

Thanks! It was a pretty groundbreaking film in the early eighties, using lots of new camera technology which hadn’t been seen before. Very ‘arty’ and influential on documentary makers for years afterwards. A lot of the techniques are more commonplace these days, so I don’t know how it stacks-up now!

Morning Des, what a great photo! It reminds me of a scene in Koyaanisqatsi!

Our dog had a bizarre fondness for eating empty eggshells, it got to to a point where she would recognise the sound of an egg carton being lifted out of the cupboard, she’d be at your side instantly.

I’m afraid that link doesn’t work, it’s just showing as a bunch of code. I am eager to sign anything that’s anti-tory though! 🤣

A screenshot of a Facebook page called Music Magic, which shows ai generated photos of prince George together with Tom Jones supposedly singing together at the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Even if it happened, which it didn’t, the boy and his mother are wearing different clothing in each of the various photos of them .

An older relative just keeps sharing ridiculous ai crap posts like this on Facebook.Without being too alarmist, and putting her off using the internet completely, we really need to have a gentle word with her about the possible harm of liking, following, sharing and boosting pages like this.

Tempting to save that as a ringtone!

Over the next few months:
Bins used, but don’t get emptied.
Bins filled, but don’t get emptied.
Bins overflowing, but it doesn’t get cleared up.
Bins removed.

Sausages and cheese, German supermarket

the scenario we all feared

I thought that a great album to start a day deserves a great line to start an album with! 🤣

Hunky Dory vibes

Oh I just don’t know where to begin!
Good morning Des.

Things like that drive me out of my mind

By jingo!

That’s interesting, thanks!

Is the viaduct still able to carry trains? Checking it out on google maps it looks to be in a rather perilous state!

… not to mention his feelings of persecution. Can you send him some money?

I’m not sure that the dog is too happy about all this! 🤣

Amazing! I do love that structure, and always enjoyed getting glimpses of it whilst cycling around the Cheshire countryside.

Shocking!

I was perusing the wines in Aldi the other day, and a child of about ten came along and scanned the shelves, then shouted in a real posho voice “Daddy, they haven’t got any Pinot Noir!”

A tickle under her chin from me please!

Same here!

I’ve managed to resist logging in there for a few months now, my last couple of visits were mainly just to delete stuff from it. Not missing it at all!

Thanks for sharing that, it’s just what I needed to see. 😍

It’s great, it offers up the best matches for your photo straight away, and then (if you want) opens it up to other users who make can then make suggestions, and a lot of them seem to know what they’re talking about!

Wonderful, thanks for sharing this Des!

My iNat app suggests it’s Genus Planaphrodes, a type of planthopper. Their comparison photo looks a pretty accurate match.
