One more day of the Chicago Air & Water Show with the US Air Force Thunderbirds. Looks like a great day to be along the lakefront.

Countdown to St. Patrick's Day. This is the Burren at sunset in County Clare, Ireland. An unusual landscape that is wonderful for hikes with wildflowers sprouting up all over the place during spring.

St. Laurence, Tidmarsh, Berkshire #AdoorableThursday Late 12C origins. It features three continuous round-arched orders, each richly ornamented with chevron and chain motifs. At the apex of this doorway is a trefoiled panel carved with a bearded face, generally interpreted as representing Christ.

Mouse find castle chapels fascinating. Some are lost or hard to find (detective work required) but this is almost intact. As with #ChepstowCastle it is to the left of the gatehouse (as facing). It is close to east-west aligned. West elevation and entrance #InTheCastleChapel (1/6)

Cusped pointed piscina at the midpoint on the north (left) and south wall. These are probably re-set as they have no religious purpose in this position... although there may be another interpretation as we will later discover #InTheCastleChapel (4/6)

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Huge night here at NYU. An undergrad trying to fix their grade accidentally discovered how to email 11,000 instructors on a secret group email list, unifying the faculty like no one before. I have hundreds of email replies in my inbox. And apparently Onions, the puppy, has just been granted tenure.

24 Moments of 2024. Moment 10 is from the Dyeing of the River Green for St. Patrick's Day. This year felt like the highest attendance I've seen for the event. It was wall to wall people for hours downtown during this unique day in Chicago. This is the March photo in my 2025 Chicago Calendar

A rare C17 church built in the Gothic Perpendicular style at Low Ham, Somerset. Damaged during the Civil War it was restored in the 1660s and is now known as the 'Church in the Field'. In the care of the CCT and the key can be found nearby.
