15th century church I stumbled across in northern Sweden. Because it has never been heated, the original colours have been preserved.

moonrise (2015) by phyllis shafer vs. landscape from saint-rémy (1889) by vincent van gogh. kind of obsessed with how they bleed into each other side by side

#various photos of the painting have different brightness / saturation levels — this one’s a little darker than some of them #i thought it worked well with the shafer painting #shaoniposting #art #painting #oil painting #van gogh #phyllis shafer #vincent van gogh #art history

The wind blows their ghosts to the ground

line (loosely a translation of iliad 6.146-9) from memorial by alice oswald, embroidered onto a ginkgo leaf i found on the ground

#desk lamp lighting because it is dark and i Would take a photo tomorrow but i am Sure it will shrivel overnight #and it's in red for iliad book 3 reasons :-)#oh embroidery as somewhere in between the ideas of historical memory as presence and historical memory as a series of puncture wounds #we're really in it now!!!!!!#like leaves who could write a history of leaves #trees instead of gravestones #embroidery #alice oswald #iliad #beeps

Stowaway Jim - Ship's Cat of HMS Prince Regent, early 20th century

Came on board at Halifax N.S. November 1914 and passed for O.C. He has since been promoted, and is now C. in.C. of the P.R. Cats. He is an old wardog and bears his battle honours " Dogger Banks" and "Jutland" unostentatiously. O.C. = Ordinary Cat
