Observing University of #Sheffield students observing the sunset at the Bole Hills, 19.59 – 20.40, 24.04.26. At 20.40, I looked to the sky and saw One Star in Sight, and I gazed upon this star for some time before moving on.

Batemoor #Sheffield 1968

University of #Sheffield Arts Tower, Netherthorpe flats, and a university building that is not the Arts Tower, 05.03.26

A true and faithful representation of #Sheffield women in the 1960s.

Bluebells #Sheffield 18.04.26 They sure are purty. I imagine they look pretty amazing to people who don't grow up with them.

Two police officers on horseback proceed down Fitzwilliam Street before turning on to Egerton Street #Sheffield 21.04.26. Egerton derived from the surname of the Duke of Norfolk & Fitzwilliam from Earl Fitzwilliam, land thieves who profited from the enclosure of common land in the late 18th century.

Winn Gardens #Sheffield 1965

The Cutteslowe Walls, Oxford. Built in 1934, over 2 metres high, topped with lethal spikes - "a monument to 20th century snobbery." www.bbc.co.uk/oxford/conte...

Crookes Road #Sheffield 19.04.26 19.04.25 28.04.23 22.04.22 Evidence suggests that I did not walk this way in April 2024, which I find surprising. It also suggests that time is cyclical, not linear.

The Mouth is the Womb of the Word. youtu.be/iNLW4iSdwA4

St. Vincent's Church, Pickmere Road, Crookes #Sheffield 04.04.26 Almost like being in Ireland... Imagine how strange Christian iconography would seem were it not embedded in culture. Patrick McGoohan learned his trade at the St. Vincent's Dramatic Society when it used to operate from Solly Street.

Bole Hills, Stannington, Loxley and Rivelin Valleys from Woodfield Road #Sheffield 29.03.26

Adamfield House, Brightmore Drive, Netherthorpe #Sheffield 28.03.26 Built in 1962. Refurbished 1998. Excellent views from the upper floors, similar in many respects to the views from the nearby Arts Tower (namely, the Isle of Man in one direction and Norway in the other).

#Sheffield City Hall 13/03/26. According to Copilot: 'Sheffield City Hall does not have a modern glass extension to its side' and this looks more like 'A mid-sized American city hall', 'A Canadian municipal building' or 'An Australian civic centre.'

The beginning and end of the path between Marlborough Road, just off Northumberland Road, and Crookesmoor Road #Sheffield 05.04.26

Hallamshire Hotel, West Street #Sheffield 28.03.26 The upstairs room used to be a good venue a long time ago. I see it's been reopened as a music venue but I don't know what it's like now. www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/the-hallamsh...

Crookes Road #Sheffield 05.04.26 Postboxes remain commonplace for now but they're on their way out. England will be postbox free by 2053.

St. Thomas Crookes #Sheffield 17.03.26 A reincarnated Tantric yogi or Buddhist monk practising maraṇasati? Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone altogether beyond, when I sprawl after jumping thoughtlessly like an eejit, I make like it’s no big deal & lick my paw sardonically, O what an awakening, all hail!

What's the difference between light and light beyond light? youtu.be/1Ze2EmWFLH8?...

Looking over the Ponderosa from Crookesmoor Road towards the Martin Street tower blocks #Sheffield 28.03.26.

Salvation Army Citadel, Cross Burgess Street #Sheffield 13.03.26. What determines whether a building of character and distinction is left to go to rack and ruin or repurposed as a gateway to an empty house of fun?

The Ponderosa #Sheffield 28.03.26. I like the fact that there is an open space in Sheffield called The Ponderosa, that the name is said to have emerged from the children who once played there, and that many people have followed them to whom the name would mean nothing without it being explained.

Junction of Brunswick Street and Holberry Close #Sheffield 04.04.26.

University of #Sheffield Arts Tower 5 March 2026

Hartshead Square #Sheffield 28.03.26. Domain of the Satanic Maximus Health Assessment Advisory Service, oppressors of the poor. Down with wicked oppressors! Minimise Maximus!

#Sheffield Town Hall, 28.03.26. The Northern town halls are far out fab and groovy, following the same basic template, competing each with the other in the realm of fantasies of civic pride.

“Reality doesn’t just disappear because you don’t like the rules.” youtu.be/7QzTLREDnlo

Hartshead Square NCP Car Park #Sheffield 28.03.26 It appears that most of the grand buildings in #Sheffield turn out to be car parks. Also: Tired of standard puzzles? How many TOPY-style Psychick Crosses can you make out in the image of the building that stands before you? Fun for all the famille!

Gateway to the Underworld, otherwise known as the subway at the junction of Norfolk Street and Arundel Gate #Sheffield 28.03.26.

The former police box by #Sheffield Town Hall, 28.03.26. One for all you Doctor Who freaks out there. I don't knowingly know any Doctor Who freaks myself, as I'm an adult (whatever that might be) and don't generally engage in childish pastimes, like watching Doctor Who and riding skateboards.

A fabulous film. Perhaps the best religious film ever made, even better than 'Ordet' and 'The Exorcist'. Whatever you do, avoid the version with the dubbed American English soundtrack. youtu.be/Ewzr-ioQ_9k?...

Weston Park #Sheffield 19.03.26 Lots of people come to the park when the weather is warm and the sun is shining and many of them gather in small groups on the grass.

Stew: Welcome to the Brotherhood of the Wise! Oznur: Where do they hang out, then?

West One Plaza #Sheffield from Convent Walk 19.03.26 A building from the era of brick, glass and aluminium, which preceded the current era of glass and aluminium. These eras do not last long. The aim is to create buildings from nothing, whilst maintaining and maximising rental value.

Wee Alex making like an Aztec, apparently. So mote it be! youtu.be/BqOtLso0f-U?...

Flat Street #Sheffield 19.03.26. 89. Is the continuation of the brand name of the bingo hall an indicator of entrenched societal Islamophobia?

21 March 2026. This used to be the site of University of #Sheffield halls of residence. When regarding the phenomenon of the gated community, the question that arises is, Is it a prison or a fortress?

“Cross of Light Temple (COLT) emerged in the early 21st century as a distinct movement within the landscape of contemporary experimental metaphysics.” youtu.be/F2kDhODcvdk?...

St. John's Church, Ranmoor #Sheffield from Manchester Road 27.03.26. As we can plainly see, it is a rocket prepared to take off for heaven.

"The flower-crowned religion of Pan has come to this."

Endcliffe Park #Sheffield 21.03.26 Fun Fact! 80% of the snakeses in northern England emerge from the roots of a single tree situated just across the stream and a little up the hill from Endcliffe Park cafe!

Women of Steel, Barker's Pool #Sheffield 13/03/26 I like the Women of Steel.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, Stupid City Council created two things at the same time that worked out well. One was the Millennium Gardens (and Galleries), and the other was the remodelled Peace Gardens. Millennium Gardens #Sheffield 19.03.26

“There is nothing in this life so nice and so Gaelic as truly true Gaelic Gaels who speak in true Gaelic Gaelic about the truly Gaelic language. I hereby declare this feis to be Gaelically open! Up the Gaels!”

Si Bheag, Si Mhor. Attributed to Turlough O'Carolan (1670–1738) youtu.be/odKl7lOfzC0?... Once upon a time, I rested on a ‘fairy mound’ in Co. Sligo and encountered one of ‘the Sidhe.’ A disconcerting experience. ‘The Sidhe’ are powerful disembodied entities, possessed of overwhelming presence.

CURB THE CANINES Join the International Campaign to Make the World a Safer and Better Place. Sponsored by the Crookes Hare Preservation Society and the Walkley Cats Protection League. You know it makes sense.

Wallflower. 1. 06/03/26. Observe the fabulous reservoir. 2. 20/03/26. Behold the ripening and unfolding. A great boon for the early bees. A common or garden wonder.
