Fox squirrels on campus at the University of Michigan on Monday June 9th, 2025. Lots of juvenile fox squirrels on campus. Wishing you joy, health, and peace wherever you are. Sending you hugs if you need that also.
Easy to be lost.
We are all seeking guideposts,
finding our way home.

道標に「古東海道」とありますが奈良平安時代の古道ではなく江戸時代の旧旧東海道だと思います。

Flying solo tip 017365 : When you fly solo, it is good to have guideposts along the way, but also to have a record of what has passed so you can see how far you have come.

Situated on a mezzanine overlooking the main entrance of the Native Child and Family Services Building, Levitt Goodman’s “Longhouse” was conceived as a multipurpose room for the Toronto aboriginal centre. It is used both formally and informally for public assemblies and spiritual ceremonies, drumming and circle sessions, for counselling, meetings and children’s playtime.
Inspired by the traditional birch sapling structures of southern Ontario, it is a contemporary iteration of a longhouse, providing urban aboriginals with an authentic Native experience within a non-Native environment.
The Longhouse’s outer husk is formed from horizontal strips of eastern white cedar. Its interior is a honey-coloured barrel vault of cedar with radial curved ends held by gracefully torqued and spliced arches whose continuous crisscrossing wraps the interior like a net. The lamellar structure of mutually dependent, arched frame segments was typically used in the 1950s and ’60s for airplane hangars and sports stadiums. The project is a product of both digital design and handcrafted construction. The architects created a 3D computer model of the structure that the fabricators used to cut each piece, and it was prefabricated in the shop. To decrease the construction time on site, the components were numbered, disassembled and reconstructed on site with final adjustments made by hand.
Like the experience of a great work of art, the longhouse’s interior defies people’s accelerated habits. Its sensuousness slows down one’s breath and inspires contemplation and healing, thereby facilitating the activities that take place within its walls. According to the building’s Executive Director, Kenn Richard, “With the increasing migration of Native peoples from reserves to large urban centres, it will be important to have beacons and guideposts such as this to not only show the way but also to affirm and support the cultural and spiritual integrity of these developing communities. In some ways the longhouse is a foundation on which a new urbanized indigenous reality will emerge.”

My bulletin board door at work - top is some fave images; bottom is mindful work content. Latest addition is the set of re-purposed business cards, inspired by hipster PDA and slip method. I wrote those up in my first weeks, and after a year - these themes hold up completely. Now posted for Constant Vigilance!
Tsuchinshan-Atlas c/2023- on this night the comet was located between Venus and Arcturus. These were the guideposts I used to find the comet before it was visible
Venus can be seen on the left near the horizon
Arcturus is on the right in a cloud
Fishermen moor to a guidepost and make the best of it while waiting for the fog to lift on the Gulf Coast.
I’ll be honest, I really never viewed Polaris under any magnification before. I’ve always used it as a guidepost to align a telescope or other piece of astronomical equipment. While recently setting up my pier and Meade telescope for the first trial runs, I focused the scope on Polaris to begin alignment, and snapped a few quick pictures. That is when I noticed a little companion star right next to it! Low and behold, Polaris is a multiple star system with an 8.7 magnitude companion (see image in the two o’clock position). Polaris actually has another, closer star, designated Polaris Ab that amatuer scopes can’t resolve. You can see a Hubble view of this star at:

This is especially for Our Daily Challenge group, topic of YELLOW beginning today, December 10, 2019, but also lots of other Yellow groups, and a few yellow & blue groups and one album of mine.
This is a rainting, which is a word I coined.

Climb to ruins of Castle Přimda starts with calm and almost mystical forest, although it does not hold for long unfortunately these days. But aside totally unreliable and fantastical guideposts nothing and occasional other travellers nothing will distirb you from your trek to the top, unlike the old times, when Přimda Castle as the local guardpost and tax collection station undoubtedly did its best to make the climb much more eventfull.
Out for a chilly walk up Win Hill with some guys and gals from work!!
Christmas Dinner at The Yorkshire Bridge Inn after!!
Pano here of the Hope Cross with Lose Hill behind..
We are standing by the - "Hope Cross"
Hope Cross stands about 2 metres tall, imposing in the landscape, made from local gritstone. Although it would originally have been a cross, it has been altered at some point throughout the centuries to be a guidepost. It is topped with an overhanging square capstone, with the inscriptions Shefield (sic), Glossop, Edale and Hope carved into the four sides.
It has the date 1737 carved into it but, as with Edale Cross, it is thought likely that this was the date of a restoration. Its position on the road indicates this route was used for more than local traffic up until at least the 18th Century.

Guidepost through time: after almost 450 years of uninterrupted service, the Alter Leuchtturm in Travemünde entered well-earned retirement in 1972. The popular sight is still, however, the oldest lighthouse in Germany.
A treasury bill from 1316 mentions a lighthouse keeper in Travemünde.
This is the first mention of a light beacon on Germany's coast.
The round brick tower, which can still be seen on Leuchtenfeld, dates from 1539. After almost 450 years of uninterrupted service, the beacon of hope for many a sailor entered well-earned retirement in 1972.
The Maritim Strandhotel took on the job. A light beacon on its roof now guides the ships at a height of precisely 114.70 m.
Thus, Travemünde not only has the oldest lighthouse in Germany, but also one of the highest light beacons in the world.
The Alter Leuchtturm is now home to an excellent maritime museum.
