The Church of St. Peter Mancroft (1455) seen from the Forum (2001, Michael Hopkins and Partners). The big version seems worth a look to me; click the pic, tap it, or type Z.

Canadian spring

Ball hockey at Jimmie Simpson Park. Toronto. You know it's spring in Canada when they stop playing hockey on ice and start playing it on concrete. I forgot to look for the name(s) of the muralist(s). My apologies to them. The screen is less of a strain on the eyes in the large version (click the pic or type Z).

Bay Street, Toronto. Re-edit of a photo posted on Flickr way back when. I like the big version (click the photo or type Z). Maybe a bit more red would help.

Model shoot

29 Apr 2018 13 29 915
The dog appeared to be a professional model. S/he followed this pose up with a runway walk. His/her trainer/wrangler is behind the lamppost. That's the doggie fountain at William Berczy Park in Toronto in back. There are two more views of it in the notes over the basin. Our model here is the only real dog in the photo.

River Wensum, Norwich ++++++ Probably inspired by a faulty memory of Monet's "Bathers at La Grenouillère": images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/1/6-bathers-at-la-grenouillere-claude-monet.jpg However, I recollect this being inspired by a faulty memory of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "La Grenouillère": media.overstockart.com/optimized/cache/data/product_images/RN860-1000x1000.jpg "Don't know thyself" is my motto. Monet and Renoir painted La Grenouillère while standing side by side. More tributes: www.ipernity.com/doc/fitzgerald/album/1294982?with=45547580
