As I've said in almost all my previous 365 projects, I will try and learn to play this bloody thing this year! (It has not moved since last year)

For four days over the August bank holiday weekend, the thousands that attended Manchester Pride 2023 welcomed every single moment of queer joy and celebration - even in the face of a little bit of rain.
Saturday’s Pride Parade (August 26th) - a staple feature of the Pride weekend - began in Deansgate at midday and featured more than 200 floats from organisations, charities, and businesses proudly waving the flag for LGBTQ+ rights and celebrating this year’s parade theme of ‘Queerly Beloved’, to mark 10 years of marriage equality in England and Wales.
As with every Manchester Pride before it, people took the opportunity to dress boldly with colourful and bright outfits. Top fashion trends over the weekend included Barbiecore, crop tops and, naturally, plenty of face glitter.
One of the things you need to remember when Tigelaar is around is that he wants your chair, doesn't matter which chair, he wants it and if you get up, even for a second, he'll be there to steal your seat with no remorse.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

#CRIMEN X ELEMENT BOOTS "ORIGINAL"
I passed this derelict last winter while driving Narrow Passage Road near Eagle Rock. There's an old, but still active, Presbyterian church not far down the hill in a hollow on Salt Petre Cave Road behind the house, so my guess is that the house once was the manse for the church's pastors. With the hip roof (which might have been slate or wooden shakes originally) well-proportioned facade and windows surrounding the front door, the house is built in a neo-Federal style of the mid-1800s. The quilt square in the window above the door indicates that this house has not been totally forgotten. Perhaps someday someone will be able to rebuild it with love. Love won't come cheap. ©2023 | John M. Hudson
Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) continues to decorate the sky with a majestic tail that can be easily seen from dark skies. Here, captured with my Nikon D5600 camera and a Nikkor 135mm lens. I used a comet stack (in DeepSkyStacker) and a very subtle processing with Siril and Gimp.
Magnitude: 4.45
Distance: 0.64 AU
Constellation: Ophiuchus
Although it is beginning to move away, the comet still offers a spectacle worthy of admiration and is a perfect reminder of the immensity and beauty of the universe.
Exposure: 7.5 minutes, Iso: 800, f/5.6.
This is my white Aquilegia, which has a flamboyant trailing tail. From this angle the young flowers look very fish-like.
Manchester Pride festival is an incredible four-day celebration for LGBTQ+ life that takes place across the city every year over the August Bank Holiday weekend. It took place on 25-28 August 2023. There was no Manchester Pride parade in 2020 or 2021 due to the COVID pandemic, returning in 2022.
“This year, especially, there’s a lot of hate against the LGBTQ+ community, and people forget we exist. We have a right to live our lives and love who we love, what’s wrong with that? It’s still a protest, the young ones like it as a party but it is still a protest. But Pride is also still about celebrating and equality. It’s nice to see lots of smaller, more local Pride events that are lovely family days out where parents will bring their children. There’s a kind of event for every single age and gender.”
