Lenticular clouds, take 2 First shot is 6 years ago, second is yesterday evening. It may have happened in between, but not that I saw. Musings in ALT text. #photography #clouds #lenticular #curiosities #meteorology #landscape #EastCoastKin

A series of almost identical, inverted-cone shaped clouds in a line, in an otherwise cloudless sky. Clearly the result of some quirk of wind and humidity.

A very similar series of inverted-cone shaped clouds, also in a line, in almost the identical location to the first shot. I suspect now, given the identical location, that they are caused by local topography, possibly a reach on the river. (IANA meteorologist, physicist or fluid dynamics expert, but they line up with the next reach of the river)

Wow. Unbelievable an actual working red phone box that hasn’t been converted into a charity book exchange; felt like going back in time. Made a call (60p) just for the hell of it.

We saw this in a vintage shop yesterday and were deeply confused. Baby? Old lady with a pacifier? Confusion deepened further when we noticed the label said: "tobacco jar"

#ThriftFinds #Curiosities

A ceramic item shaped like a head. Its confusing features suggest it is the head of a baby, or perhaps an old lady, with a pacifier. Other knicknacks surround it on a shelf.

“Just as something catches your gaze, another calls from the periphery. So you move on. As you do again. And again after that. Suddenly, as if time were a vapor, you’ve spent an hour shuffling your attention between curious things. This scene could well describe the modern experience of scrolling Instagram or TikTok. But it also captures the sensory rush of stepping into a cabinet of #curiosities centuries ago.”

Butterbrot.

I found this awesome piece on my phone when deleting old stuff. No idea why I took it - maybe testing something in the camera app while eating. “Did you play with your phone at the table again?” 😅 Anyway, I thought you would probably want to see it. 😉

[Photo of half a slice of wholemeal bread spread with margarine. The round side points to the lower right corner of the image. On the opposite site, there is a small chunk of tofu on it and there are bites, too. The sandwich is on a white plate, its edges are not visible, just some breadcrumbs and scratches around the sandwich.]
