A strong south wind was blowing this afternoon. The City of Lancaster flag is flying from the flagpole atop Lancaster Priory.
It's an interesting building with a long and rich history:

I'm finally behind the camera again, though I used the cellphone as I was trying to get pictures of myself petting the neighborhood cats who show up on our porch for food. I couldn't get one I liked, so I enlisted hubby who gladly volunteered to pet kitties, and the kitties gladly volunteered to receive the petting. 😸🐈
In the shadow of Lancaster Castle stand these old houses. The lintel on this pair is engraved with 1739. What is especially interesting is how low these doors are when compared to the houses nearby, whcih are much taller. These were most likely occupied by 'working people' (as our political masters are prone to say these days), or artisans (as I would prefer to describe them). They would not have had anything like as much protein in their diets as the welathy, and would thus be much shorter. Either that, or there was a wood shortage that year.
Ephemeral beauty.
Would someone remind the world's political so-called leaders that this is the 21st century. We spent the last one mired in industrialized warfare when we killed and maimed our best and most beautiful. None of us is here for very long and most people just want to get on with their lives in peace. Power politics and willy waving are constructs created by narcissists and the greedy.
Just stop the killing. Now. Please.
