Church cut-out.
Cut-out memorial.
Natural cut-out. Doesn’t it look like an African sunset? Possibly the travel restrictions have addled my brain.

“In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“Wir sehen in der Natur nie etwas als Einzelheit, sondern wir sehen alles in Verbindung mit etwas anderem, das vor ihm, neben ihm, hinter ihm, unter ihm und über ihm sich befindet.”

Not by choice
What to do if my desk looks like this?
The only option seems to be sharing. Of course, I exercise parental control over what Henry is viewing. He most enjoys films made for cats, either about birds or, like here, fish.

Studies in grey
For the Cosmic Photo Challenge: 50 shades of grey I tried to pick photos which were naturally (almost) monochrome, either because of the subject or because of the quality of the prevailing light.

I’m a fan of ships’ names
A challenge a few days ago asked for “freedom” and a photo of a ship popped up on my screen. It got me thinking on names for ships and boats.
Freedom
Vici
Ships named after concepts: Freedom and Vici (Latin: I conquered).
Jessica
Tim
To be fair, the last one could be a girl’s name. Traditionally girl’s names have been popular for boats: Jessica and Tim. Not necessarily confined to girls nowadays, it seems.
Susan Emma Rose
More girls: Susan, Emma, and Rose. Or appropriate for Stratford-upon-Avon – Shakespeare characters: Hamlet, Othello, and Puck.
Boats can be named after friends or indulgences: The Black Cat and Laphroaig.
subito
Kurpfalz
Foreign or very local: Subito (Italian for fast) and Kurpfalz (both travelling on the river Neckar).
South Carolina
Atlanta
From further afield: South Carolina and Atlanta – both to be found on the river Rhine.
Seas The Day
Not to forget star signs and plays on words: Aries and Seas The Day.
