remembering Sydney's Palace theatre...

I must celebrate this post. Long ago, I worked casually on the Hoyts theatres' circuit... The Palace was one of the theatres. Loved the personality of the old girl. Most intriguing were the massive wall to wall to ceiling mirrors backstage + the old Tank Stream flowed below. https://t.co/gRjW6oFldu

from tree to giant hand...

BRILLIANT!❤️Also claimed as tallest tree in Wales. 15.2m (50ft) stump was the only part left standing after the 124-year-old Douglas Fir was axed at the Lake Vyrnwy estate in Powys in March 2011. Chainsaw sculptor Simon O’Rourke created 'Giant Hand of Vyrnwy' from the old tree. https://t.co/L1AEbQligG

poetic explosion...

POETIC EXPLOSION ❤️❤️❤️-'My great aunt Sally died on Tuesday night of Covid, 8 days after testing positive...She wanted to be a poet. She wasn’t really educated, she never had a tutor, an editor or a publisher. But she self-published.'

colourful moment on a grey day...

Colourful moment on a grey day... I am struggling to refrain from labeling the characters in this scene with 'human' names... So tempting... And I'll just enjoy that rare moment when all breeds, shapes + sizes - non-human' - can hang peaceably together... https://t.co/dQgM3Y9HMd
