obsessed architect, happy to be here

a slightly quizzical looking long-nosed brown and fawn colored dog, lounging while propped against a grey wall
two partially seen spiked agave ribs, pale blue and green, diving down to the right, while in their wake and in the sunlight are two frothy pale yellow flowers
close up of a deteriorating agave leaf, showing many colors and textures
Perhaps a dog, assembled from a poor set of instructions. A front leg, bent in Z, is seen just in front of a rear flank, with a ear hovering horizontally above.
rather blurry photo of a presumably a street packed with people. They are wall to wall, a number of Polish flags visible, and in front a huge white banner with Solidarnosc (sorry the Polish for their solidarity movement)
pedestrian overcrossing with two hefty canted arches suspending a splay-sided deck below.
protesters with various signs in front of a corner Starbucks. Two in orange safety vests, all in light rain gear
A whole lot of green ornaments tempting fate by dangling from monofilament over baskets of presents.
closer view of the mess, colors used are pink, brown, olive green, peach, rust, and a pale yellow orange. Much of the paint is unevenly applied, thin enough in spots for the underlying camo fabric to show through.
a pleasant elderly gentleman on a crowded sidewalk offering pizza slices from an open box
Oooh, ah, a night shot! a black car at an EV charging station along a very long row of empty stalls under, you guessed it, PV canopies.
modest array of black panels over a modest parking lot.
yet another plain jane installation at a fancy architect designed complex
who's thrilled to see yet more parking lot solar arrays?
a very pedestrian (ha) but thoroughly functional example of a canopy cantilivered from posts between pairs of stall rows.
another thrilling aerial view of solar panels over a parking lot, green hills in the background.
aerial view of large parking lot with canopies, surrounded by dry fields and a water port in the distance.
charming somewhat squat looking butterfly roofs over sections of a parking lot.
long span fairly light galvanized steel beams with perpendicular solar arrays, leaving open air between.
curved glulam cantilevered posts, in unequal butterfly roof design, with cheery cherry red edges. French.
wooden beams, underskirted with netting, holding small panels with plenty of air space. I think this is in Canada.

The Amazon, originally emptying into the Pacific, as South America rifted from Africa, found its exit blocked by the rise of the Andes about 15 million years ago. A great inland sea developed, at times draining north through what is now Venezuela before finding its present eastward outlet into the South Atlantic. Gradually this inland sea became a vast freshwater lake and wetlands where sediment flattened its profiles and the marine inhabitants adapted to life in freshwater. Over 20 species of stingray, most closely related to those found in the Pacific Ocean, can be found today in the freshwaters of the Amazon, which is also home to a freshwater dolphin. In 2005, fossilized remains of a giant crocodilian, estimated to have been 46 ft (14 m) in length, were discovered in the northern rainforest of Amazonian Peru.

A sign held up against a background of other sign-waving protesters, with the waver's brown hair in the foreground. The sign has soft colors of pink and yellow and orange that look finger smudged around letters and carefully colored inside the lines (of dark and light blue and purple). It reads, rather chillingly, Gut Musk.

image of a bottle of Elmer's Glue-all on a white ground, with a banner of text across it asking, Tesla's extended warranty? In smaller text below a caption advises: Sell your stock while you can. Don't buy, lease, rent or ride in Musk's cars; they are dangerous and fund his fascism.

more banner notes: In an elegant green hand: He wants to punish our government: And an nicely characterful blue note: Trump & Musk are traitors to America. Someone echoed in green Musk and Trump are traitors. In blue, there's Trump Musk & Vane are traitors to America. Someone drew a box around the note Vote in 2026. Another red note urges Deport Musk!!
A white paper banner has packing tape on the leading edge. Along the top are an image of a black Hitlerian hairstyle and a tiny cybertruck where the mustache would be if it all were a face. Written next to that are I Don't Like Musk, because....and because...and because. All that repeats several times down the length of the banner. Below, in varying colors of marker are written: "Of his depraved indifference to the rights of others" and "he's a brainless Nazi" and "he's a dictator" and "he is a rapist bully (and that's being nice" and 4th week committed!
