Portal in a puddle that is a reflection of the sun passing by a break in the clouds. The gravel road is flanked by dry grass, brush and brambles. Beyond that several trees in silhouette across the foto under heavily clouded skies with an opening in them that the sun is shining through ☮️

Juvelyn & her 5 children were sleeping when the earthquake struck earlier this month. As soon as she realized what was happening, she rushed her family outside for safety. They have no reliable source of food right now, so WCK is making sure they get the meals they need. #ChefsForPhilippines

Jeremy Clarkson discovered that Private Healthcare is a con, and actually if he gets sick he still has to use the NHS.

The vaulted undercroft at Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire. The abbey was originally established by Benedictine monks from St Mary's Abbey in York in 1132 and became one of the largest Cistercian houses in England. 📸 My own. #MedievalMonday #FountainsAbbey #Yorkshire

A #Roman figurine of a dog, shown lying down with its back legs curled underneath, looking at something behind it. Dogs feature quite prominently in Roman everyday art, associated with loyalty & healing, & valued for their companionship (just like today!) 🐶 🏺 #AncientBlueSky #Archaeology

It’s an odd idea that “toppling statues” is “denying history”

Archaeologists will tell you people have always added to, removed, slighted monuments (eg medieval grave slabs with faces knocked off in the Reformation)

Toppling statues IS history in action.

A beautiful morning on the Llangollen Canal near Ellesmere, with narrowboats echoing the colours of autumn. This is a favourite spot of mine, especially at this time of year when the beech trees along the towpath turn a glorious shade of red and gold. #Shropshire
