Photo from a few years ago of Yeni Cami (New Mosque), Istanbul, Türkiye. Despite the name, it's 360 years old; building began in 1597, but it was abandoned and ruined, and damaged in a fire, before construction was completed in 1663. Travelling from Asia to Europe, crossing the Bosporus by ferry the mosque stands imposing on the seafront, making a powerful impression.

Does this count for #Caturday? Side effect of playing with my new smoker ...

ok I was just doing errands on my bike and ended up behind this truck with a stuffed mastodon mounted on top. obviously I chased the driver down to ask for a pic. turns out she’d just found it on the side of the road and liked the way it looked strapped to her truck

@Catonauts What?! I would have put it down as 21st century for sure... That style can be very deceptive, it always sounds so futuristic 😄

2023-07-22

@Catonauts Great! Love this style, very good. And agree re: playing loud. Feels vaguely reminiscent of the theme from Knight Rider (in a good way).

@Catonauts @MariaTheMartian @Uraael@blahaj.zone Sorry 😃

I know what you mean re: electronic music. Especially if you don't have loads of familiarity with a genre it is easiest to lump it all as one category. Most of my friends would likely do the same!

My list isn't only electronic music, I promise... But I do love it so there's a fair bit
😄

@MariaTheMartian Lovely. I don't know why but it reminds me strongly of a family summer holiday to Scotland, it must have got some air time while we drove... Very summery.

Day 3: A song that reminds you of summertime

Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You

Age 16, just finished GCSEs, compulsory schooling over, first summer as a young adult, and this song was a big deal, played constantly everywhere, on the radio all the time, etc. The following couple of years of A-levels, this was a big part of the summer soundtrack too.

Can't hear it now without remembering that time of my life.
