Street art mural depicting R2-D2, the iconic Star Wars droid, offering a bouquet of flowers to a trash can painted to resemble a companion. A small red heart hovers above R2-D2, adding a touch of charm and humor to the piece. The artwork, set against an urban wall, playfully reimagines the characters in a heartwarming scene that brings personality and affection to inanimate objects.

The utterly glorious porch roof at St John the Baptist, Burford. Anyone who uses 'medieval' as a pejorative should be made to look at this until they promise never to do it again. Photo taken lying on my back shuffling around the floor until I was happy with the framing.

Lobaria amplissima is extremly rare in Germany. 2020 one of the old trees died and the bark with Lobaria fall on the ground. So I took it and fixed it with binding wire on another old tree near by (without the Lobaria). Yesterday I was there and pleasantly surprised, that it worked very good.
