As I often say at work, there's no shortage of ruined castles in SW Germany

Late #fairwaterfriday with what might be my favorite motive: The Silvership. A juvenile fantasy that combined all the emblems that were important to me in another life. And once again, @cfsrebalus.bsky.social ennobles my scribble with her unique style. Love that dragonfly ship, and everything else.

Oh, that was nothing ;) There's a long line of Swedish keyboard players (you might have seen below album at some point) Also, there are lots of neo and retro prog bands (my favorite ones come from Norway) ... And then there's Finland, where it gets either really dark or really cheerful

I defreezed our freezer and put the drawers out on the back porch. Seems the white is appealing

#fairwaterfriday 3/7: Marvin's Madness. I like how the raven/Cosmo seems to sing to the unreachable star, and how it's both new moon and full moon in @cfsrebalus.bsky.social's artwork -- which makes sense in liminal spaces like this bridge.

Just had to think about how beautiful the language of Neuromancer can be. Carry on

The Villa Straylight knows no sky, recorded or otherwise. At the Villa's silicon core is a small room, the only rectilinear chamber in the complex. Here, on a plain pedestal of glass, rests an ornate bust, platinum and cloisonné, studded with lapis and pearl. The bright marbles of its eyes were cut from the synthetic ruby viewport of the ship that brought the first Tessier up the well, and returned for the first Ashpool ...

We went to the garden party of our old English department (I spent twenty years hanging around this garden!) and I'm still close to tears thinking about all the people I met

A very Gothic #fairwaterfriday with Lucia, poppies and a marvelous cat. Fairwater was all about atmosphere -- and this illustration by @cfsrebalus.bsky.social really nails it.

I made some short clips with the new #Fairwater artwork @cfsrebalus.bsky.social created for @ohneohren.bsky.social They are based on 25y-old sketches I did while I had a fever (no kidding) Trying to post one per week #fairwaterfriday Enjoy!

The weather at the spot is fine today. Not too hot, a bit windy, just the right amount of summer

Was Deine Frage nach der ersten Fassung angeht: Ich habe gerade gesucht, und entgegen meiner Gewohnheiten scheine ich diesmal wirklich die handschriftlichen Skizzen zum Buch weggeworfen zu haben. Eine ganz frühe Visualisierung, was vielleicht zu was führen könnte, fand ich aber noch:

#NowPlaying: Yes, TFTO, Steven Wilson Mix. I'm in awe of this album, but I don't listen to it that much because it's so entangled in weird memories. So it's very welcome to re-discover in it in a fresh way. What are essential #StevenWilson mixes that really change the experience of an album?

It took only 8 years to hang the old screen again after we moved. A whole new line of projectors came out in the meantime. So I bought a new one. Plus a suitable movie for our first home cinema night as a family.

It's Schlossfestspiele again, and today we went to see The Ugly Ducking at the castle. Easily the best of their children productions so far
