Only Ghosts in these Halls / Solo Fantasme in queste Sale for #monochromemonday

In the Archiginnasio the walls are covered in around 6000 heraldic arms. These arms commemorate past students, teachers and patrons of the university. Arms were added to the walls until the late 18th century. (The Archiginnasio was built in 1563 so we're taking about 200 years worth of people)
It got me thinking about all the people who come and go from the building, yet it remains.
The "ghosts" right now are those represented by the heraldry, but one day will be us. But it's a Monday morning so don't think about it too deeply okay! ✨
This photo is a combination of a double exposure and a long exposure (because I have shaky hands and I really liked the people in one photo and the background in another so I tried to squish them together 😂)
Do not look too closely as it's my first time trying this and it's a mess. Just squint and enjoy! 😂✨

Furthering

I read in a book about an experiment during which people were given a square of their favorite chocolate and had to rate whether they wanted more after the last piece or if they didn't want any more. The more chocolate they had after a certain point, the less they wanted.

They were either eating the wrong chocolate (probably! milk chocolate is sugar) or were not real chocolate fans.

When I am eating my favorite dark chocolates (90% Lindt or 87% Laima, a Latvian chocolate), I have to hold myself back from eating ever more of it. Both of these chocolates are low in sugar, sugar being further on the list of ingredients compared to other chocolates. So it's more chocolate than anything else, though it isn't bitter like some of those chalky high-percentage chocolates that really don't understand the potential of chocolate at all.

So I guess if I were in that experiment, I would skew the results, and happily.

I say as I eat some dark chocolate accompanied by a mug of chocolate-and-orange rooibos.

Spokes / I Raggi for #texturetuesday

Repost/Re-edit because it was looking super crunchy after uploading and I'm not too sure why! Anyway! Wanted to bring you a dandelion because there were loads of them at the park - but a little bit differently✨

Beekeeping experiment FAIL. Last year, attempted to use Rustoleum Never Wet over metal tape to create an ant-proof barrier. It does not work, it's not slick enough to keep ants crawling up it. Plus, the tape eventually peels off. You also see that dirt and mud sticks to the "Never Wet" surface. #beekeeping #experiment

#WombTransplant: the mother of my children demands to know why the lives of two women were put at risk with three major operations, when exactly the same result could have been achieved with a surrogate pregnancy (using that uterus in its natural place). theguardian.com/society/2025/a I would also argue that the baby didn't benefit from being carried by a mum on #immunosuppressants, so 3 humans were harmed in this #experiment. #science #medicine #ExperimentsOnHumans #MedicalEthics #DoNoHarm

The Pond / L'Acquitrino for #texturetuesday

A little bit of a Claude Monet inspired photo! (From the Water Lilies Series) This was taken in Giardini Margherita and I tried to get a picture of one of the carp - but they were way too quick for me! 😂

C.

The best part? My cost for manufacturing the boards and shipping them to me in Canada (from China), with all applicable duty and taxes included, brings them out to about $1 per board.

I may try other designs at some point. But I can't see myself going back to the uber-expensive ones that are commercially available.

I can't wait to try one of them!

3/3

The Tired Horizon

Just trying out these Geffel M300 mics. They're pencil condensers but oooohhhh boyyy these are premium sounding.

Excuse my shite playing.

Arranged so one is pointing at around the 14th fret, the other at the bridge. Panned left and right. Bridge is a little darker due to position. Together its balanced out sweetly.
