A low-angle shot captures the symmetrical, curved facade of an illuminated historic building at night, viewed through a large archway. The building's terracotta walls are lit from below, highlighting multiple windows with shutters and four framed artworks. The circular patterned paving in the foreground emphasizes the curved architecture, all beneath a deep blue night sky visible through the arch.

Reversible scarf with rainbow USS Enterprise profile on one side, against a dark sky. The other side is the opposite.

I wasn’t going to update this so soon, but I do like how the USS Enterprise’s profile has come out on the scarf 😊

I’m going to power on with this now and hopefully provide an update once I’ve hit the halfway mark.

Wish me luck!
