Pinky/rusty cone shaped hydrangea splitting the frame on a diagonal. Surrounded by yellow daisies and greenery and bordered by tall evergreen trees.
The sky is feeling very dramatic swooshing beneath the deep blue sky

Artist Arno Coenen gives you the feeling of walking under water through a Amsterdam canal. Green glass mozaïek ceiling. Gilded chandeliers made out of bicycle parts. Attached to the walls, stained glass lamps ,which refer to the tourism in Amsterdam, in the shape of a bunch of tulips, a bag of frites, a haring, a clog. White and grey travertin floor with under water living creatures.

Tucumcari, New Mexico

The neon doesn’t just glow. It remembers.
Every flicker a heartbeat of the road.
It waits. It listens. It holds the night.

Congratulations Bluesky! It always amazes me how much, in general, social media falls for the divide and conquer cliché. Bluesky is open source. If you no like you have options to keep your community. Or you could always go back to Facebook or X.
