Photo walk in Downtown Silver Spring, Maryland, to support First Amendment rights in public spaces, 4 July 2007.
Outside the Turf Hotel, exactly 10km from out from home. Would have taken hours to walk but was easy on the bikes.
Pint of celebration ale, Turf Tavern, Oxford. (I think this was the Bath Ales Festivity ale. I was sure I'd remember for sure, so I didn't write it down...)

June 27, 2018 - "The artwork, Þúfa (tussock) is the result of a competition held by HB Grandi, Faxaflóahafnir and the Icelandic Artist Association. Ólöf Nordal won the competition and assigned the construction of the artwork to three brothers; Guðjón, BenjamÃn and Guðmundur Óli.
Þúfa stands at the west entrance of the harbor, directly opposite the newly built music hall Harpa. It is a grassy hill with stepping stones to the top where a small hut designed for drying fish is located. From the top you have a beautiful view over the harbor and inner city.
The hill is 26 meters in diameter and 8 meters high. The inner core consists of roughly 4,500 tons of gravel and a dry stone wall to get the shape of the hill adjusted correctly. The hill was then covered with turf. All this makes Þúfa one of the biggest artworks ever made in Iceland and it has already become a landmark for the city.

Ben took the photo. Crappy flash does not extend back but you get the idea...I didn't even try and move around.
Becky, who usually taps with the jug band, had come down with the flu. She musted up the energy to bang the tambourine at midnight, though!
