Chroicocephalus fur patatae frictae - the Chipstealer Bird Also known as the Black-headed gull (it's in its winter plumage, ok? If you look, there's a small black dot behind the eye).

A View From A Hill. NOT Fulnaker Abbey, if any M.R. James fans are wondering, but I *was* listening to the story on audio at the time – too good a chance to miss, really. #DepressionTakesAHike

Welcome. WELCOME to the ever running NOW. You're the first to see it.

EasyJet Airbus, passing by

Apogoitef, Aganakti and Amichania personifying Dismay, Exasperation and Embarrassment. Known as The Three Facepalms. (A strange moment from the 'history stack' of an old hard drive.) I wonder whether I'd been on medication? Or off it 😆

Yesterday's view ahead. The view above was blue (and I haven't downloaded it yet 😄) Depression takes a hike

Fifty years ago, I'd have KILLED to take photos like this. Well. Ok. I'd have been willing to say something slighting about somebody's hair to take photos like this, fifty years ago. It's just down to the hagling really🥴 Nikon 180-600mm lens

It's all very well to be enthusiastic but it might seem a little too drastic It would even make a cat sick to be overly enthusiastic

COOL!!! I have Winamp back. The first mp3 player I ever installed, back in... When? 1998, maybe? I've missed those visualisations :-D

A little late for Halloween, but... 😄 I was 'putting away' after dinner, looked down at the chopping board and realised that a pair of Edible Eyes(tm) would be a perfect addition. I'm not sure WHAT titles would be suitable for a bell pepper slasher movie... Sweeney Podd, perhaps?

Do you think vampires fly into mirrors the same way birds fly into windows because they can’t see their reflections?

I've often said, when it comes to which side of the bed is mine, that I prefer to sleep on the top.

Obligatory Blade Runner patch I made on the Alesis Andromeda synthesizer. This synth can replicate the architecture of the Yamaha CS-80 very well since it can add sine waves post-filter, used here, just like the CS-80. It also features the famous ribbon cable.

Well, these aren't views ahead or above, although there are some to come. These are the results of finding some old, old pictures from Palestine and stitching them together. The building in the picture on the right was still unfinished a dozen years later, according to Google Maps.

I dozed off before posting yesterday's 'depression Takes a hike' images The view above The view ahead It was an interesting day.

So. Has ANYBODY read a story where a bona fide Butler Did It? I've got one in mind where somebody pretending to be a butler did it – have I just avoided all the books that made it a cliche? [Quick mockup. Butler fudged by AI because I couldn't find clipart and didn't have the time to draw ]

I've been making do with sitting by a window for the last couple of days, but today was way better first thing. Here we have the view ahead and the view above Depression Takes A (short) Hike [my camera battery gave out 😄]

Tried to sneak a photo of a cute doggo and accidentally had long exposure on and I believe I have created man’s greatest expression of art

The view above The view ahead

A slightly offset View Ahead, View Above. 'Ahead' is a head, or at least a face, over an archway. There's not much in the way of sky visible, so I headed around the corner for a better view of 'upwards'. Depression Takes A Hike.

Solidarity is the only way

Once a day, I see the cat I do not have out of the corner of my eye.

With thanks! I finally looked up why bridges were roofed in. Adding a roof kept the timber dry, extending the bridge’s life significantly. Uncovered wooden bridges might last just 1 to 2 decades, whereas some of America’s original covered bridges remain intact after almost 20. Neat.

Today's view ahead. Why so urban? I just dropped the car off for its MOT test. Fingers crossed! Depression Takes A Hike 😁

This was definitely a view ahead. I walked over a rise on a grey and grotty day to find a bright (if dead) leaf flapping from the drying thistle heads. Depression Takes A Hike.

Amazing work by Nikkolas Smith

I went back for a View Ahead of this crew :D Depression takes a hike.

King Rat at #13, hanging out around the bins. You see some interesting things around the place! Not exactly the view ahead, more a view in passing. Depression Takes A Hike

And there it was...the hand! #fall

Ah! Fooled me!

Sorry Rex... #library #librarian #booksky #bookban #bannedbooks #read #teachers

The view ahead. From yesterday; I'm afraid to say I'm late. I do like a nice crepuscular ray or two – how about you? 😄👍 Depression Takes A Hike

The view ahead – while crossing the road, anyway. I stopped and took pictures AFTER I was across though, OK? Another 'depression takes a hike' walk around the neighbourhood.

I was looking at the BBC Sounds app and realised that Seymore Episodes was an unusual name – if your surname is Episodes, anyway.

Just because there's cloud it doesn't mean you can't get an interesting shot.

I passed a house. With a not-quite-Blue British-Heritage-style plaque.

Today's View Ahead. I've missed a couple of days because I took a side trips with no sky and almost as little 'ahead' :D Beating back at the depression, one dose of daylight at a time

I laughed immoderately at the last line and accidentally kicked my Finer Half under the table.

Portland Protestors Baiting ICE Agents With Donuts on Fishing Poles Calling it ICE Fishing

A first! For me, at least. A photo of the harvest moon so big and clear that I would have been tempted to kill for the equipment to do this, when I was a kid 😄✌️

Being distracted by the scenery, I forgot to look UP, so we only have the view ahead today :-)

You can use a buttercup to tell if you like butter or not. To find out if you like primates you need a chin pansy.
