At a concert a fellow of Caius Spoilt the Brahms with a thunderous snaius, So the whole Philharmonic Cried "Take some Schweppes Tonic," And a don-more polite-added " plaius."
Quite impressed with the limerick-ing of the Schweppes copywriter in these 1935 Proms programmes advertisementsβ¦

The sublime textures and shapes of Namibia's dunes spring to life with the first light of day. There is beauty in simplicity!
A harmonious interplay of lines, shape, textures and tones, as the first light of day touches the ridge lines of a coastal dune. It was mesmerizing to see how the scene transformed as the light crept into the shadows.
For a short lived moment, the soft light of the morning sun draws beautiful, dreamy bands of satin across the tips of these otherwise inconspicuous dunes in Namibia's mesmerizing Sossusvlei region.
The beauty of soft lines, of meandering lines...

Up in my local woods again yesterday, and I bumped into this tree again. It's always a pleasure to see and photograph.

I have cultivated a strategy which guarantees I always win at Monopoly: I lose as quickly as possible. The remaining players think I've lost, but they're wrong. I escaped first, so I win.

Since it has no value, there's no harm in infringement, right? We need to go back to recognising - and paying for - the value inherent in artistic works.
