Day 15: Patrick Montague, Chelmno and the Holocaust
Aerial view of the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford with a freshly mown lawn featuring intricate curved stripe patterns around the circular building.
Ground-level view of striped grass patterns on the lawn beside the Radcliffe Camera, showing alternating light and dark green lines stretching across the grass.
A lawn mower on the striped grass outside the Radcliffe Camera, highlighting the precision-cut pattern with people and historic college buildings in the background.
The lawn outside the Radcliffe Camera had a trim today 🌱

#SukhoiSundays and I’m not convinced the two Iranian wrecks in the central photo are Su-24s at all. Perhaps the burnt wreck in the left photo was once a Fencer? Ah well
Listening in the car to BBC Radio’s 1981 adaptation of The Lord of the Rings (which means the Earith Bridge road diversion has its upside, after all). Ian Holm, Michael Hordern, Bill Nighy, John Le Mesurier, Peter Warner. Absolutely bloody fantastic
Earith Bridge is underwater. This means nothing to almost anyone, but to me it means a 20 mile detour on the way to work and another 20 miles back again; and the fact that it is underwater is entirely due to decisions made in the 17th century
"…the major enemy, the strategic adversary is fascism [...] the fascism in us all, in our heads and in our everyday behaviour, the fascism that causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us.
― Michel Foucault

#nowreading the most recent edition of the National Gallery’s companion guide, originally written by Erika Langmuir yonks ago. I love it, but I’ve had to create my own index so that I can read it in actual chronological order. Because history.
Tupolev’s Project Zveno. What are those things with propellors that are slung under the wings? - that’s right! - little piggyback fighter planes that could be launched when the mothership bomber was in flight. Reposting for #TupolevTuesdays
Hope she’s careful handling that inlet cone. Re-posting for #MiGMondays

#nowlistening Kate Bush’s 50 words for snow. Ten years ago I started to play this CD then gave up after two songs. Rubbish! Now a decade has passed. Played the CD on a whim over the weekend and discovered that I love it to bits
I've finally been on 465908 which looks beautiful in the Network SouthEast livery & this livery brings back memories

Nose on Grids...
56103 and 56045 thunder along the Great Western Main Line on their way to Merehead Quarry.
I do believe this is the last bastion of Grid working, as both the Grids work out of Willesden Sidings to the quarries down south.

Re-watched The Zone of Interest a few nights ago. I have seen it six or seven times now and each time I get something new from it which I had not spotted or thought about before #moviesky #justwatched #thezoneofinterest
Blimey! - a Lego Felon! Reposting for #SukhoiSundays
I went to Cambridge.
I'd already seen 4 Concordes and every SR-71 by the time I got to see my 1stMiG-25 Foxbat in Kyiv. Such a rare and special thing. The only MiG-25 in the U.S. (that we know of) is currently on display at the USAF museum in Ohio, an incomplete example that was found buried in Iraq.

It’s reached the point where my first thought on waking up is “has the USA invaded Greenland while I was sleeping”
I love Impalas. Must make a kit of one sometime
