I always enjoy the fresh look, vibrant greens, and interesting patterns of rice fields. I saw these from the window of the train from Pyongyang (DPRK/North Korea) to Dandong (China). Enjoy.

As seen at the entrance of the Basílica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona. This image—far from Jerusalem on the other side of the Mediterranean—makes me think of a theme Luke develops in Acts.

One of my interests is the meaning we attribute to places—more so ancient ones, though I also appreciate modern places. This photo, taken a few weeks ago, shows Toronto City Hall just before dawn. For more follow on BlueSky bsky.app/profile/garydu…

I couldn’t find a way to take a picture of this Marc Chagall work in Toronto Wycliffe College without getting background reflections in the scene, but realizing this is perhaps how we see all art, I embraced the idea. Do you see where the Chagall ends & reflection begins?

Did some reading today downtown Toronto at Trinity College Graham Library, given that the book I needed is almost 400-years old, I get why they wouldn’t sent it to me via inter library loan!

All the cars of my youth at yesterday’s Bronte Creek British Car Show, none of which are anything like I ever owned, except perhaps the last vehicle! Enjoy!

With the changes to what was Twitter, I’m not posting the same as I used to, I’m still figuring out what to do. In the mean time come with me to the Uffizi! youtu.be/0MYq73lxoyw?fe…

New table & chairs in the McMaster School of Social Work hallway/seating area - looks great - what a nice place to work/hang out/socialize & ponder the big questions in life.

Not the highest elevation on my trip to the Tibetan Plateau, but close to it. I didn’t come prepared for the hot sun, hence my odd headwear, but I did come prepared to walk on the salt lake, hence my fancy footwear.

Driving in rural China, at random places ppl stopped and got out of their cars to enjoy the wild roadside flowers. A lesson well learned, I’m going to do more of this from now on.

As seen on a salt lake high on the Tibetan Plateau. There were several large hearts placed on the lake, I assume as photo props/opportunities, or perhaps to remind the lake to not lose it’s saltiness.
