In the foreground, chalet-style houses with weathered tiled roofs sit among dark green pines on a hillside overlooking the water.

Behind it rises a range of jagged blue-grey mountain peaks under a pale, hazy sky.

‘It’s almost impossible to convince people who have formed a strong emotional belief that they are wrong by using reasoned argument. Since faith isn’t dependent on reason, how can reason be used to convince anyone they’re mistaken?’ The Nazi Mind: 12 Warnings from History @laurencerees.bsky.social

I went to a talk on #Vanbrugh at Stowe House yesterday. I noticed this hand-painted depiction of a Ringnecked Parakeet on the wall. It dates to the 1780s, 170 years before the making of the African Queen. #StoweHouse #parrot #parakeet @btobirds.bsky.social @thegeorgiangroup.bsky.social #Vanbrugh300

Girl in white t-shirt viewed from the back, walking through dry grass to a brick-and-tile Greek orthodox church of small proportions. Olive trees line the path. The sky is blue. View inside a small Greek Orthodox chapel showing an icon screen with faded frescos and icons on the ground leaning against the wall. Everything is dusty and derelict. The source of the only light is low down.Old wooden door in a stone building. The door is arched. There are stone steps leading to the door.View of an ancient Greek Orthodox church in a hot, arid olive grove. The tower is round and squat. There is an apse and a small slot window.
