BOK BOK - "Misfit" (1980)
Heard this song earlier. First time in decades. It's always a weird feeling to all of a sudden recall a very old memory through song.
This is Buzzcocks bassist Steve Garvey and Fall drummer Karl Burns. This is pretty much their only release. It's ok.

During our vacation recently, I tried to practice more foreground and composition for .. not for documenting our vacation, but to capture more a feeling that I had at this moment.
This is one of the photos. Here it felt "better" to me to set the focus to the red poppies because at this moment, they just drew more attention as we were walking towards the gate.
More of this day:

This image captures a picturesque and serene scene featuring a historic building, likely a monastery or church, set against a lush, natural backdrop. The building is characterized by its white walls with red trim, a steeply pitched red roof, and an arched entrance. Atop the roof, there are statues of religious figures, adding a sense of grandeur and historical significance to the structure.
In the foreground, a vibrant meadow stretches out, dotted with red poppies and other wildflowers. The con…

A few highlights from the Turkish-Persian section of a random carpet symbolism book I skimmed while stopped at a random library in New Jersey a couple days ago

Tree of life: one of the oldest and most universal symbols of mankind.

It supports the sky, and provides a path from earth to heaven. In different cultures it is called by names such as haoma, asherak, yggdrasil, irminsu or asvattha.

Thus, one often sees it in prayer rugs, as a reminder of the passage from this existence into a higher life.
Diamond or Lozenge:

It has been conjectured that this omnipresent motif in Anatolian kilims is a male triangle attached to a female triangle, and thus signifies creation. There are doubtless many interpretations. A diamond surrounded by hooks is called in Turkish kirkbudatz, 'forty branches'.

Among some semi-nomadic pastoral (terekme) tribes of Azerbaijan, a favourite symbol is a large diamond, signifying woman. Smaller diamonds within the large one signify a pregnant woman or her progeny. A …
Celestial creature: Recognizable because flames appear from flanks or shoulders.
Arabesque or Tendril:

The basic unit of the arabesque, a favourite Islamic decorative theme, may be described as a split leaf seen in profile, called islimi in Persian. Derived from a Sassanian motif, it developed under the Abbasids in the ninth and tenth centuries, and matured under the Seljuks in the twelfth and thirteenth. It became central in Turkish and Persian carpet design only after the fifteenth century. In its fascinating fully developed form one sees interlaced lattice systems of sp…

I must assume that the announced consultation is being displayed down in the Whitehall cellars in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
Because I can't find it. The link in the Guardian article just loops back to itself and a DDG search doesn't find it either.
However presumably the government has send a link to all the relevant car industry lobby groups.

Rubio nodded to the fact that
Katie Miller's husband,
deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller,
has the portfolio overseeing UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena).
"I don't know who it is. I don't know what it is. But there are things flying over our military installation, and they're not ours, and we should look into this," Rubio said.
Rubio said there was a political benefit to talking about it when he was a senator becaus…

I knew this day would come. The chainsaw has been going all morning. (Even though there is lightning in the area!!)
The former Alberni High School (1920-1952) and Redford Elementary School (1980s) has had a large fir tree on its property likely for that entire time… The tree is at least 80-100 years old.
It was sold a few years ago. I am not speaking ill of the First Nations developer because I actually appreciate what they have done at the property and agree with the development.
This is a failure of City policy not protecting important trees and public spaces that continue to be lost in the City. They provide shade, habitat, and public enjoyment. They are not rotten, they are not at risk of falling or blowing down in a storm.
I don’t understand why people are afraid of trees. 🌲
