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.
Life is a curve

Reversible scarf with rainbow USS Enterprise profile on one side, against a dark sky. The other side is the opposite.
I wasnβt going to update this so soon, but I do like how the USS Enterpriseβs profile has come out on the scarf π
Iβm going to power on with this now and hopefully provide an update once Iβve hit the halfway mark.
Wish me luck!

Had someone walk up to me earlier and inform me that it was illegal to use a tripod where I was (it was not). When I realized it was just some ill-informed busybody and not anyone with any actual authority, it felt just like being on social media, except in person.
