Doggo’s 3rd place: Beach + surf + ball = all is well in the world #BlueSkyArtShow #3rdPlace #ECK #EastCoastKin #Photography
Colour of a brown spaniel running in the surf at water’s edge on a beach. The dog is running away from the water obliquely toward you. You can see its front and left flank. Its tail sticks out behind. It is a very happy dog, and has an orange ball in its mouth. Water droplets fly from the sea where its paws kick up the water. Behind it is white surf as a wave lasts the sea shore

Sir Ian McKellen orates 'The Stranger's Case' from 'Sir Thomas More' by Shakespeare about the Evil May Day xenophobic riot of 1517 in London. This passage was written 400 years ago, but times never change. Humanity refuses to change its unwarranted bias against 'others'.

One of the things that makes the Grand Canyon so amazing is the sheer number of side canyons feeding into it, many of which are very impressive on their own. #scape #ColorADay #BWFri #photography

Porto, Portugal. Dom Luís I Bridge spanning the Douro River in Porto, Portugal. The bridge has historical connections to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, having been designed by a student of Gustave Eiffel. The influence of Eiffel's genius is apparent.

Spooky Story Elaboration in ALT
So I'm wandering around Guimarães, Portugal, and come across this walled compound with an interesting window. I took several photos from across the street, and then, when previewing the images for quality, noticed in image #2 the lower portion of a necktie appearing in the window, meaning I was being surveilled.  Perhaps they thought I was a spy. In any case, when I saw that image with the necktie, I didn't linger to find out what was on the inside of that walled compound. Notice the necktie appearing at the top of the window. It wasn't there in the first image. My first thought was mob activity, and quickly skedaddled.

Stunning light play along the canyon walls. The canyon wall in the foreground is on the other side of the cliff that forms this gorge. The Colorado River is about 350 feet below. #marblecanyon #photography #landscapephotography #nature #desert #beauty #arizona #redrock

One year ago, the world lost one of its strongest advocates. Dr. Jane Goodall spent years advocating for animal welfare, for community-led conservation, and for youth environmental leadership. She knew that each one of us had an important role to play, and she made sure that we knew that, too.

Jigsaw originally published in Ink, Sweat and Tears inksweatandtears.co.uk/paul-bavister/ #poetry #writing
Jigsaw

A family photo, blown up and chopped
into a thousand pieces then tipped 
on the table. We found our eyes first, 
as they swirled through fragments 
of black jumper, dark pine trees
and an orange sunset sky.

The jigsaw became a winter tradition,
and as we got older, the worn pieces
got harder to push together.
Sometimes we’d panic
that one was lost, but then find it
still rattling in the box.

When a side was completed
or a face stared back at us,
we’d nod in recognition.
We were always silent
as we put us all back together
in the winter sunlight.
