When travelling through #Italy I just love to be in historical parts of towns and gaze at all those buildings and roofs. I tried to capture that in the style of Liron Yanconsky, who teached me a lot about realistic #watercolor.

Black and white watercolor painting on paper. It shows old italian houses and their roofs. The middle row of buildings is the most light.

Since I love birds, I spent a lot of time on #birdtober feeds. Today I wanna participate! This common loon isn't afraid of cold water. Every sea needs to be enjoyed!

Word.
I don't think my doodles are in either camp. But about 2017 I was bored an thought I'd like to get better at drawing. Decided I'd do 4 a day. Those early ones were not good! 'cringe or suck' if you will. But a few years practice, I think they did get a bit better. (couple recent ones) 🤖😀👋

Vail : ヴェイル (The End Of Japan) @theendofjapan.bsky.social · 3d

Enku traveled around carving Buddhist statues, and mass-produced them with the idea that he wanted to bring happiness to people through his work. For this reason, many of Enku's works are quite rough.

La chiesa di Sant'Apollinare (XIV secolo) nel quartiere di Piedicastello a Trento, vista dal Ponte San Lorenzo che attraversa fiume Adige e di cui si vedono, in primo piano, i fiori che ne decorano il parapetto. Alle spalle della chiesa la collina su cui si estende il Parco Naturale del Dos nella cui area sorgono il Monumento Nazionale degli Alpini e il Mausoleo di Cesare Battisti.

How can we tell what's inside an #exoplanet? @timlichtenberg.bsky.social et al review how a planet's atmosphere interacts with its interior. Atmospheric observations can distinguish between lava worlds, water worlds, temperate surfaces or supercritical interiors. ☄️

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

"The purpose of politics is to enact an agenda to actually improve people's lives. It isn't merely to get Democrats elected for the sake of doing so. Which Democrats we elect and how we get them elected matters," says @anatosaurus.bsky.social.
