Warum friert man ein Schiff im arktischen Eis ein?

Um das Klima dort zu erfassen, wo es sich am stärksten verändert. #MOSAiC war die größte Arktisexpedition – ein Meilenstein für die Forschung.

After putting the bookshop to bed for the evening, chum and I decided we deserved Bubble Tea, so we strolled to nearby Jan's Bubbles to treat ourselves and relax.

I love the mosaic of Post-It notes with drawings by local kids all over their walls.

Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday

"I sing Thetis, golden-haired Thetis, immortal
daughter of the sea-god Nereus, who by the will
of Zeus wedded Peleus, the glory of the sea, our
#Aphrodite, her who bore from her womb the raging
spearman, the Ares of Avar, the lightning of Greece"
Anthologia Graeca, Epigram 9.485

I love this new decorated junction box on the corner of Argyle Street and Kent Road in the Finnieston area of Glasgow. It's a homage to the old Anderston Rice Mill on nearby Washington Street, and amongst other things, it features a mosaic of a cat hunting mice around its base. It's by Fiddly Mosaics and is part of the programme run by Yardworks.

A rather beautiful threshold mosaic at the entrance to a commercial property on the ground floor of an 1850s tenemnt on Argyle Street in the Finnieston area of Glasgow.

The interior of Viterbo Cathedral with the Cosmati-style floor prominent in the foreground. In the background is the altar with a crucifix.
