#CelticFC For those who've been following Ella's incredible 1000 mile journey from Helsingborg to Celtic Park, you might want to note she's already in Scotland and now heading north through the borders towards Edinburgh. www.justgiving.com/page/ella-st...

As suggested earlier this week, how about a #PalacesAndGardens #WhatsNext theme of #Gold?* Doesn’t have to contain AU. Anything inside or out AUgmented 🙄with a golden sheen will do, like Cologne Cathedral shining above a “Licht” poster at sunset. *Anybody mentioning Spandau Ballet will be Blocked!

FYI: In response to the same post on X, I had loads of replies hurling abuse: A few huns finding a way to mention CSA, many questioning my intelligence or business knowledge (btw I worked 38 years as a Senior Business Analyst at TIME Inc), others called me a w⚓️, moron, idiot & “thick c^nt”.🤷‍♂️ Toxic!

Happy clappers listing Celtic's achievements since DD's involvement, please note: . He hasn't invested a cent since 2005, > 2 decades ago . Last CL play-off win was 2017 vs Astana . Smaller clubs with less turnover (e.g Bodo Glimt, Brugge) are CL regulars . Its fan's money in the bank, not his!

A N.E.D holding <35% of shares uses the official club website to post a 867 word rant after he was embarrassed at a golf event. How about 867 words on the status of coaching staff, future plans, our vision for Europe??? https ://www.celticfc.com/news/2026/October/03/Celtic-Football-Club-statement/

Anybody coming to The Netherlands might want to note: The Kröller-Müller Museum - in the middle of National Park De Veluwe (north-west of Arnhem) - has far more Van Gogh’s than even the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. It’s not easy to get to tbh, but well worth a day out!

Ready to go wild? 🌿 This Thursday, 1st October, #PalacesandGardens celebrates glorious abundance! Hunt for tangled greenery, crowded architecture or wonderfully over-the-top interiors. More really is more! Join us for Challenge #61: #ItsAJungleOutThere 🌿🏛️ Info in Queen Sabine's poster below:
Poster for the #PalacesandGardens photography challenge on Thursday, 1 October 2026, with the theme #ItsAJungleOutThere.

The poster uses a softly faded photograph of the richly decorated organ in St Catherine’s Church in Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany, as its background. The view looks upward into the lofty church interior. An enormous Baroque organ case rises through the centre and left of the picture, densely ornamented with dark wood, gilded carvings, sculpted figures and ranks of silver-grey organ pipes. Pale vaulted ceilings and reddish architectural arches surround it. The extravagant profusion of pipes, sculpture and gilded decoration visually echoes the week’s theme of abundance and “more is more.”

Large dark-blue lettering at the top reads:

#PalacesandGardens
Thursday, 1 October 2026
Theme: #ItsAJungleOutThere

The challenge invitation reads:

“Find your perfect jungle:”

Three suggested photographic subtopics follow:

🌿 Into the Thicket
🏛️ Crowded at the Top
🖼️ The Jungle Within

Across the bottom, in very large blue lettering, the poster says:

“Everyone is welcome.”

The hashtag #ECK appears in the lower-right corner.

The overall effect is warm, ornate and deliberately abundant: the elaborate historic organ itself serves as an example of the challenge’s central idea—finding scenes where nature, architecture, collections or decoration become wonderfully crowded and exuberant.

I loved the façade of this building in the old town area of Valencia 🇪🇸. Check out the ceramic tile work on the underside of the balconies. It often pays to look up! 👀 #UrbanGaze #photography
A old stone building. There’s a business on the bottom level and then two levels of apartments. The door/window casings on the upper floors are painting a bright purple and the underside of the slim wrought iron balconies have blue and white ceramics tiles.
