In 2022 I had an incredible trip up to #Yukon #Canada. I spent two weeks hiking and camping around the Northern Artic, getting rained on, hailed on, snowed on, and of course had a few moments of sun too.

While there, I made a collection of #monochrome images to capture the cloud patterns on the peaks. These are some favorites.

Art is fluid. It has no boundaries.

This is not from the Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula but a Jain temple in the heart of Old Delhi dating back to late Mughal era

It’s historic: Mexico has elected its first-ever female as President — Claudia Sheinbaum — in its 200 year history who is ALSO a climate scientist!

Sheinbaum’s has a Ph.D. in #energy engineering & has promised to invest nearly $14 billion in clean energy & boost electric buses & trains.

Sheinbaum also worked unpaid on two major reports issued by the IPCC.

In an era of climate consequence we also see rays of hope shining through!

The World Tree - in Belarusian mythology is the axis of the world structure, the place where the gods live.

The world tree is in the center of the universe and grows on a large boulder - the Golden Mountain, which stands in the middle of endless water - the ocean. Near the tree stands the Golden Manor, in which God - the Father of Heaven - sits on a beautiful throne.

Always worth remembering this. Saw this sign last weekend at Middle East Bakery in Andersonville, Chicago. It is a great Arabic grocery store with a small restaurant attached to it. They make many things fresh, including some good spice mixes.

Photo taken on 27 May 2024.

One of the reasons I’m glad we moved to #Chicago: all the festivals we can walk to this summer. This place is just a few of them. There's always something going on and it is wonderful. https://chicagoevents.com/

A rare moment when a video title is not clickbait. Great report from DW Planet A on energy system inefficiencies. I've wonder whether talking more about efficiency and waste to climate skeptics might bring them on board with green policies. Personally, I don't care how we do it, as long as we get to the same end result of a more sustainable world.

Amid the cornucopia of windows in this photo, don’t miss the commuter #train windows at the bottom.

I recently returned from the American Literature Association conference in Chicago, so expect some FensterFreitag and WindowFriday photos, over the coming weeks, from the city of big shoulders.

Now that the last chicken has reached its new home, I can share this, which is all the chickens I've made. When I started my first chicken 3 months ago, I didn't realise I was going to make 6 in a very short time. Thank you all for humouring my obsession these past few months. I'm going to take a break now, but maybe I'll make another one if there's someone who really needs one.

Among the 'boxes' in my pantry I treasure, is one marked 'Salts: different kinds'

From that here's one

Black salt , kala namak (Hindi), beet noon (beet salt; Bengali). Terrific stuff but in very small doses - smells like rotten eggs, hydrogen sulfide.
Use in lassi, chaat or as I did recently, in Kolkata style rolls 👇🏽

So, this guy takes out his new AI phone from Samsung and takes a photo of the table we're sitting at. Then he does some magic stuff with his AI and shows me the picture.

"Look," he says to me. "There are three glasses on the table and in the picture there are five. Isn't AI amazing!" And he laughed.

And all I could think was that this is happening in millions of places every minute of the day. All this energy. All this water. All these materials.

Destroying our environment for this?

🇦🇹🚄🍽 This one of the remaining fully-fledged #ÖBB🇦🇹 #diningcar.s with IC 359, a usually crowded service between #Vienna🇦🇹 and #Graz🇦🇹. I really love the white table cloths, the grey curtains and the nice table lamps.

✅️ The minced buttermilk chicken🍗 patties with meadow herb puree as well as the Viennese apple🍎 strudel with vanilla sauce was delicious 😍!

The main dish on a white plate. The colours green and brown are dominating.
The dessert in a white bowl.
Some brown bottles of beer on the white table cloth of the dining car.

A little night music... well, it's a #Sondheim musical at least - the original cast recording of #SweeneyTodd, with Angela Lansbury and Len Cariou. I've not listened to this in over 20 years probably, and I'd forgotten just how good it is. #NowPlaying

Ian Rankin Investigates: Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde

Currently on the BBC iPlayer: Ian Rankin investigates Robert Louis Stevenson’s “Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde”. Rankin traces the roots of this story, which stretch back to Stevenson's childhood. Grave-robbers, drugs & prostitution all play their part, as Rankin's journey takes him into the dark streets of the city that inspired the tale: Edinburgh.

We went out for shopping on #Saturday. Met up with a friend and went to Thaliva Indian Kitchen in Park Ridge. It is a place we have been wanting to go to for a while after someone told us it some of the best South Indian in #Chicagoland. We got dosas and finished the day with a South Indian Filter Coffee. Worth a trip out on the Metra!

Hey, #Chicago area! I just found out that Cook County residents can order up to 2 rain barrels for $21.50 a pop (delivery included!!) through the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District—who'll also send you #milkweed seeds. I'm awaiting the arrival of both with far too much glee.
