I was born to the magic. We all were, though some realize it more often than others. When I walk past the homes of our neighborhood, I see the flicker of television static, hear the sound of music and petty arguments, while all along outside, the moon is white and the skies are wide, and I'm feeling my most alive.
While I walk, it's rare to pass another adventurer. Sometimes, it's a four-wheeler on the old railbed, or a smoker seeking fresh air, unaware of the inherent irony. I wave when I spot a stranger, wonder if they recognize me, and keep moving. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a stranger myself. I might be, though I've been here for my version of forever. 1987, I was born in Soldier's Memorial Hospital in Middleton, and they carried me home soon after to Bridgetown, where I've lived ever since. These days, I carry myself down silent streets on moonswept nights, reminding myself that home is where the stars are.
It doesn't take much to settle my soul, just an empty sky and the flickering shine of distant suns will do it for me. I can belong anywhere that isn't crowded down with light pollution. I need to open my eyes wide and let in every ounce of brightness the darkness can offer.
When I was young, my grandfather used to drive me in his truck across this bridge, thump-thumping on the railroad ties as I looked over nervously to the river below. Now he's gone, and I'm less nervous, still walking around and trying to capture my desperate little bits of adventure. My grandfather loved Bridgetown as much as I do. That's why he settled here, built a house on the hillside, looking down on the valley. Standing 6'4" and with an overdeveloped sense of self, that was one of his strong points (looking down on things). I inherited all his best and worst qualities, and that keeps me humble when I think too highly of me.
Bob Skafte is gone – gone like the railroad, gone like my childhood. But that wild, vibrant joy is still full in heart, still wild in the margins of his town and mine. It tells me to open up, share strange thoughts, be passionate, put it all on the line in this brokedown town. There's a wealth of mystic magic for those that stick around...

This is Five Points, a cocktail created at Death & Co in Denver, Colorado and published in the Happy Hour Handbook in 2020 (see note). The drink's namesake comes from the Five Points neighborhood in Denver which is also where Death & Co is located. This is a spirit-forward cocktail that uses a split-base of reposado tequila and mezcal. This base modified by two bitter elements, Punt e Mes and Amaro Nardini. Punt e Mes is unlike a lot of sweet vermouths since it is significantly more bitter, even to the point of sometimes being considered an amaro. Nardini is an amaro with only three botanicals (bitter orange, peppermint, gentian root) and does well to harmonize the agave spirits and the Punt e Mes. There's a bit of walnut liqueur which is a type of addition that is hard to notice, but evident when it's missing. The Xocolatl Mole bitters always goes well with agave spirits and really puts the finishing touch on this drink. For a drink without a lot of "age" in its spirits, it drinks a lot like smoky and complex Manhattan.
1.5 oz tequila (they use Tequila Ocho)
0.5 oz mezcal (they use Del Maguey Vida)
0.5 oz Punt e Mes
0.5 oz Amaro Nardini
1 tsp walnut liqueur also called nocino
2 dashes Bittermens Xocolatl Mole bitters
Combine all of the ingredients into a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until arctic cold. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass like a Nick and Nora. Garnish with an orange peel.

I hope all my commenters don't mind, but I replaced the original image with an identical HDR image made from 10 instead of 5 photographs!
On a walk around the Botanical Gardens with a Flickr friend. Christchurch September 2020 New Zealand
Cuningham House (originally called Winter Gardens) was built in 1923 and opened on 9 August 1924, funded by a bequest made to the Botanic Gardens by Mr C.A.C. Cuningham, a Christchurch law clerk, on his death in 1915.
It is a large, stately structure of architectural importance and is listed with the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga. A spacious staircase leads to a large peripheral gallery where an extensive collection of tropical plants are displayed.
Both upper and lower Cuningham House contain fine collections of sub tropical plants including Dieffenbachia, Peperomia, Hoya, Anthurium and Dracaena.

"Convergence" in the unused Goods Line tunnel near Central Station as part of Vivid Sydney was like entering another dimension. As the largest scale laser installation in Vivid Sydney history, Mandylights has used over one hundred custom-made laser units to produce a near-infinite array of dispersed beams that will entirely fill the Goods Line tunnel. The tunnel – a space that is largely unknown and alien to even the most well-travelled Sydneysider – becomes a portal to a spectacular convergence of lights, lasers and smoke effects. Be drawn toward a central, mysterious cone of intense light that radiates from a hidden point over one hundred metres into the tunnel.
An interesting bit of mechanical signalling on a set of points at Pitsford and Brampton on the Northampton and Lamport Railway, 4th April 2017. Along with the actual point drive rodding there is a mechanical Facing Point Lock with section of raised rodding to get it over the rodding for three mechanical point detectors.

I tried to paste the original, uncropped and edited version of this image into my comments, but the new version of Flickr wouldn't let me. If anyone wants to see that image, it is the next image in my Photostream (thanks flickr).
The beginning of this month saw the completion of what has been a year long process of implants, crowns and veneers. I have to say I am very very pleased with the results. On the final appointment I asked Baber my dentist if I could take a couple of shots so you could all see the view from the chair in which I have spent about 30 hours over the last year (quite alot of that under sedation so I have no recollection) and all of it pain free! .....Hope you are all amused! :-))
ps.. the mural is on the ceiling
This is from last winter's ice storm. I printed it out at 11x14 and donated it for a project my workplace is doing to decorate a children's home for the holidays. I also printed it up for my kiddo's nursery.
Looks a lot better big and on paper instead of my screen. Then again, most pics do. :)
Euxton never let go in this match and had their backs against the wall in the 1st half with mounting pressure from a strong Fulwood team. Euxton were down to 10 in the 2nd for an off the ball incident but hanged on for a smash and grab finish with a 94th minute goal to take the points.
"Over the Points" was a well produced quarterly review 'of matters concerning the Southern Railway" that was issued to first class season ticket holders during the 1930s. For many years edited by the travel writer E P Leigh - Bennett, the magazine was printed for the SR at the exemplary Curwen Press in Plaistow, London, and the issues show much of the Press's consideration of design, layout, tyefaces and typography. This inlcudes many of the adverts - both 'in-house' and external and the magazine is illustrated with vignettes relevant to the text matter, many by Victor Reinganum.
This is taken from the June 1934 issue that details many of the Southern's extensive and lucrative Cross-Channel ferry services upon which they operated their own fleet of steamers and ferries. The advert refers to the newly introduced "Pullman" service between London Victoria and the then popular French resorts of Le Touquet and Paris Plage that was reached direct by the Dover - Calais ferry at weekends or by dedicated 'autocar' connections from the Folkestone - Boulogne services during the week. The resort of Le Touquet was highly fashionable and the Southern would have been up against competition from no less than Imperial Airways who ran a London - Le Touquet service.
The advert shows a very Curwen use of borders.

Unlike Ferox, Khaleesi likes to test the limits of her new domain. She'll climb the ivy vertically to check the inward slanted netting on top for weak points.
So far the fence is winning ;)
