I'm curious about a lot of things. Never enough books. Love b&w photography and art. Oh, and by the way, I have a thing for lighthouses. NO POLITICS 🚫

The third one in the series "The Night Society" is done! It will have lights behind it like the other two, but to see them, you'll have to stop by the December artwalk at Fogue Studios & Gallery!

A painting of a mouse leading a snail larger that itself; the mouse has a little uniform on, and. The snail has a bag full of mail and packages strapped over its shell.

This fragment of Roman mosaic was discovered under the site of the Bank of England as it was being rebuilt in 1805. A year later it was purchased by the British Museum, where it can still be seen today. #MosaicMonday

A square fragment of Roman mosaic with a design of guilloche and stylised leaves and flowers in the centre.

A Merry December to all.
🖼️ Décembre, Eugène Grasset, 1896.

Décembre" (December) by Eugène Grasset, 1896 as part of a calendar called Les Mois (The Months).
The artwork depicts a winter scene in a snow-covered garden:
A red-headed woman in a crimson gown and a sweeping black cape walks through the snow. She is carrying a large bundle of mistletoe in her pinafore.
The background features snow-laden trees, a stone balustrade, and large garden urns. Large pink and white winter flowers are prominent in the foreground.

It’s fine. I know what I’m doing. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Black and white photo of a short haired, tuxedo, tabby kitten, climbing precariously on the faucet of a bathtub, looking downward. It doesn’t look like the bathtub is full, but there may be water in the bottom of it that is out of the frame.

Much of my life and certainly Hookland has been based on the David Bowie lyric: ‘Turn and face the strange’. I am a Fully-grown Changeling. There is no other way.

Goodnight from the Cat-in-the-Wall pub, where Lucy Goss has been given the honour of leaving out the mummified moggies ceremonial saucer of milk. Goodnight from the Grey Lady of Maplewyck Farm, crossing the yard with blood on her apron as always. Goodnight from Hookland.
