As the crow flies
(From this morning)

A photo looking up towards the top of an old wooden telegraph pole ( electricity power pole).
There is a long horizontal cable attached that reaches out either side.
To the keft is a silhouette of a crow in flight.
I have used Snapseed 'grunge' to make the photo arty farty

Only ten days to go until the private view of Rebellion! at the Williamson Art Gallery. One of the directors from Liberty will be speaking at the opening so it should be interesting. The exhibition opens on 23 October and will run until 20 February 2027.

Last one for this week
Thanks @sheena-mck.bsky.social for another illuminating week 😊🚦💡

A black and white photo of a tall curved concrete wall at Piccadilly Gardens Manchester.
The smooth grey wall has a long vertical pattern of illuminated white neon stars at the top.
The lines of the six pointed stars glow at night and vary in colour.
This time they were glowing white but they can be a rainbow of colours.
A blurred figure of a young woman wearing all black can be seen walking past the wall

A large rugged rock sits in the foreground of the image while the various trees in the dense treeline on the opposite bank of the estuary compete for adequate space amongst each other, their imperfect reflections shimmering on the surface of the water

A high contrast black and white photograph featuring a rectangular warning sign mounted on a metal pole in the foreground on the left. The sign reads "KITE SURFING BEWARE OF GUY WIRES" in bold white capital letters against a black background, with smaller logos at the top for "South Ayrshire Council" and "kitesurf Scotland". The metal post has sticker decals lower down.
The foreground and midground are filled with dense, dry coastal shrubbery and wild vegetation. In the background, a flat body of water meets a distant, hazy mountain coastline under a dramatic sky filled with scattered, dark, textured clouds. The overall mood is overcast, stark, and quiet.
