Clay sculpture of a Zapotec god, from the Valley of Oaxaca. The god on this urn is Cocijo, the Zapotec deity of thunder. This is supported by the raindrops on different parts of the body. The rattles, frequent in images of Cocijo, reinforce this. 350-600 CE.

Writing Tip:
Do something different. Take a class you've never tried. Hang out in a place you don't frequent. Go feed some birds or learn to sketch. New things will always teach you something you can include in your writing. Life experience is a foundation for writing.

If you're in Melbourne and you haven't been, the Galloway Hoard exhibition at the museum is excellent.

Did you last visit when the ship was covered in ducting and visible through small windows?

Time for a return visit...

A view along the lower deck context gallery, with the ship sort-of visible through a smallish window. It's also covered in ducting, which isn't ideal. The Mary Rose from the lower deck context gallery now, with full views of the ship.

Nine years and ten months ago today, on March 25 2016, I started my 'Historic pic of the day' series with this Twitter post of a coupled set of Adelaide H type trams. So, two months from today, the series will reach its tenth birthday of daily posts. It has since expanded to BlueSky and elsewhere.
A screencap of a Twitter post dated Mar 25 2016 from @Railmaps The caption reads "A propos of nothing, just because they're great vehicles, here's a 2004 photo of coupled Adelaide H class trams.' And the image is of a coupled pair of pantograph equipped, indian red liveried H type trams running along an on street section of track.

Today's historic pic: A slightly blurry shot of Melbourne W7 class tram no 1037 on a route 64 East Brighton trip accelerating south away from the La Trobe Street stop in Swanston St, Melbourne, September 28 1985. This stop has been re-built as a platform stop and W7 class trams have been withdrawn.
A Melbourne W7 class tram in green and cream livery is a bit blurred in the dull light as it accelerates away from the intersection. The background in filled by the RMIT buildings at the intersection of Swanston and La Trobe Streets. In the foreground is a ground level 'safety zone' tram stop with yellow traffic deflector block, Keep Left sign, metal barricades and unusual curved glass waiting shelter.

I would be horrified and rather upset if someone showed up during my bath, took photos of me, and shared them on the internet. And yet, here I am...
