The southernmost city in California, IB is tucked between San Diego and Tijuana making it an interesting crossroads of people, entertainment, and culture. And, in my humble opinion, a great spot for photographs.

I have not great skills in Photoshop, but just for fun I tried to make a card for Halloween.
I hope you have a great time on this eccentric day. Unfortunately Halloween is not part of our culture, but I admit that in recent years Brazilians are trying to introduce, unofficially, this celebration in our calendar :)
It was 4am and the previous nights rain had subsided but the heat and humidity certainly hadn’t. In that single moment, on my creaking bamboo raft and the most amazing karst peaks slowly appearing with the first dawn light, I had never felt further from home.
It’s obvious to say that China is on a scale of its own, from the sheer extent of its population, to the size and commercial scope of its cities and economy to the division of wealth between its people – I really cannot think of anywhere else that matches the eminence of this country.
Travelling through China was an amazing experience and one I certainly learnt a lot from. It is an ancient civilisation and rich in so much culture that it was easy to find myself lost and captivated by what the country has to offer. What’s more is that the future for China is looking bright. It has overcome so much to be where it is today and it’s impossible to not feel the excitement and buzz in the air of a country that is taking progression in giant strides.
In this moment however, I was completely and utterly lost and wanted to enjoy every moment of it 🌏 🇨🇳

羅厝天主堂為中部地區最早的聖堂，也是當時全台三大最具規模天主教堂之一，連清皇帝都曾御賜「奉旨敬教」石碑，給予官員經過必須文官下轎、武官下馬的禮遇。現存的天主堂因歷經地震震毀、年久失修等因素而重蓋，早就已非原貌，但它的歷史價值卻是無可取代的，教堂方面也成立古文物保存陳列室，為民眾介紹天主教傳入台灣的歷程。
Having started a short uni course with Lancaster University on Wordsworth, I thought it was time to brush up on Bill before he goes wandering.

The old water tower in Düsseldorf-Heerdt was built in 1892 in the "castle style" and shows elements of late historicist Wilhelminian splendor architecture. It is a listed building and is today surrounded by a modern industrial hall. ---

Across cultures all over the globe, there are a few notable threads that seemingly connect us. Some qualities such as being able to read body language, our appreciation for good food, and our need to love and be loved just to name a few. Well, this cookie tin is one of those things. At some point in our lives did we probably stumble upon a tin similar to this one and, with bated breath, become giddy with the anticipation of devouring a morsel only to be met with a prick to our souls of finding out it's Grandma's sewing supplies. Well, fear no longer! With this new bento mesh, you'll have butter cookies for you and your loved ones until you're butter-cookied-out. Never have the disappointment of opening a mysterious tin and have your expectations crushed. Unless of course, you ate too many cookies and your pants happen to rip and you badly need a sewing kit then sorry, you're shit out of luck.
Anyway, from my Virtual Household to Yours; I hope you enjoy these decadent treats in all their ironic and delicious glory!
Find the (Luc.) Royal Linden Butter Cookies at the Anthem Event starting midnight August 3rd.

Beautiful rocks!
Artiste : David Ruben Piqtoukun
Titre : Grandfather Akwesasne
Date : 1999
Matériau : pierre (granite)
Origine de l’artiste : Inuk, né à Paulatuk (T.N.-O.), ayant grandi entre traditions inuites et culture du Sud. Piqtoukun est reconnu pour ses sculptures qui unissent : mythes inuits, histoires personnelles et réflexion sur le passage entre les mondes culturels
Dans cette œuvre, les lignes gravées évoquent à la fois : des trajets, des mémoires inscrites dans la matière, des forces invisibles qui circulent entre passé et présent.
Le titre invoque la figure du grand-père – non seulement un ancêtre familial, mais une présence symbolique : celui qui porte le savoir, la continuité, la survivance.
Placée dehors, soumise au vent, à la neige et aux saisons, la sculpture devient elle-même un être vivant dans le paysage. L’hiver, la neige agit presque comme un voile rituel qui révèle certaines lignes et en cache d’autres.
Artist: David Ruben Piqtoukun
Title: Grandfather Akwesasne
Date: 1999 Material: stone (granite)
Origin of the artist: Inuk, born in Paulatuk (NWT), having grown up between Inuit traditions and Southern culture. Meaning and reading Piqtoukun is recognized for his sculptures which unite: inuit myths personal stories reflection on the passage between cultural worlds.
In this work, the engraved lines evoke both: journeys, memories inscribed in matter, invisible forces that circulate between past and present.
The title invokes the figure of the grandfather – not only a family ancestor, but a symbolic presence: the one who carries knowledge, continuity, survival.
Placed outside, subject to the wind, snow and seasons, the sculpture itself becomes a living being in the landscape. In winter, snow acts almost like a ritual veil that reveals certain lines and hides others.

For some reason Thai ladies in particular were seen to be in the habit of dressing up in their what looked like traditional attire to pose for their photographs in historic cultural and or historic sites. This lady was posing for what looked like her family so I grabbed a rushed shot of her in her finery. Photographed within the Grand Palace in Bangkok.
Recorrer el camino de los mil toriis (senbon torii) era uno de los motivos de mi viaje. Pero recorrerlo a media noche fue una mezcla de misticismo y temor que infundían las mil sombras que se movían el el exterior del camino y la incertidumbre de poder salir alguna vez del laberinto.
Ya fuese fantasía o realidad, no me cabe la menor duda de que este lugar tiene una energía muy especial.

You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.
