I used to be cool. Sometimes, I scream into the abyss. Sometimes, I stare into the void. https://glitched.earth I'm more active there: @david.eurosky.social

A gif of Mr Crow putting peanuts in his beak. As it's on a loop, he looks like he's eating endlessly.

Map of Europe where the countries are colored depending on how much time was spent in each (more or less)
The Seto Inland Sea at dusk. Two ferries are returning from Naoshima to Takamatsu. The "Seto" (on the left) and the "Naoshima" on the right.

Singe sur le bord d'une route au Japon. Il n'est pas content que je me sois arrêté pour le prendre en photo.
The student's garden (where they grow vegetables) without any grass around the vegetable spots.
A Kenji Yanobe sculpture representing a white cat in a spacesuit. It's sitting on a building (it's a few meters tall)
The Seto Inland Sea in the evening. It's hazy but the sun is reflecting in the sea.
The sea. It's hazy. There are three boats (see post)
The Seto Inland Sea. It's so hot that one can't see anything in the distance, just haze.
a portrait of Mr Crow
A pair of shoes on a tatami (full disclosure: they are brand new shoes that have never been worn)
The Seto Inland Sea. It's cloudy/misty. Megijima is barely visible in the background. There's a fishing boat crossing the frame.
The Seto Inland Sea in the evening with Naoshima and Honshu in the background.
Yayoi Kusama's Red Pumpkin in Myanoura Port, on Naoshima.
Yayoi Kusama's Yellow Pumpkin at the end of its pier on Naoshima.
"Hub/s" by Do Ho Suh
I dont want to explain much. It's a traditional Japanese painting with many characters and details, but right in the middle, some anime looking character, some sort of flower with eyes, mouth, arms, etc. (it's Takashi Murakami)
The "stem" of Yayoi Kusama's Red Pumpkin on Naoshima
A crow fledgling hanging out on a tree stump (it seems to particularly like this tree stump for some reason)
The reflection of Ogijima's Soul (detail) in the pond below.
A crow and a black kite, both perched on the same utility pole and facing each other (it's the crow's territory, the black kite eventually left)
A Moai in the port of a small Japanese island.
The Kagawa Arena seen from Megijima's port. There's also Takamatsu skyline as well as the Oni Lighthouse from Megijima.
The Seto Inland Sea seen from the back of the ferry. The picture really shows part of the ferry (ropes, guardrails, etc) rather than the sea itself.
The back of Meon, the red and white ferry that links Takamatsu with Megijima and Ogijima.
Crow fledgling in the foreground, on a branch. Ms Crow in the background, on a utility cable,. watching carefully.
Sport's Day in a Japanese elementary school.
An art installation representing some sort of Balinese demon riding an invisible horse. It's both cool-looking and a bit terrifying.
A few of Ogijima port (with a glimpse of the village) seen from the ferry as it's departing the island.
A wild Japanese monkey on the side of the road. He's not exactly happy I stopped next to him to take a picture and he's starting to look threatening so that I leave (I did, don't mess with monkeys
The Seto Inland Sea in the morning. It's sunny but a bit misty (because of evaporation)
Mr Crow
A Malian statue representing a mother and her child installed on a rock on the coast of the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. Instead of being made of wood, it's made of plastic (probably) and it's white and bright green instead of brown or black.
The Seto Inland Sea with Ozuchishima in the background, as well as a hill from Shikoku (Goshikidai) on the right. The picture is "framed" by some plants.
A selfie. In the background, Meon. It's a small ferry. It has red and white horizontal stripes.
A crow and a black kite fighting in the sky. The black kite seems upside down (it's not really, it's because of the angle I took the picture, as they were above me) and because we're in Japan, there are utility cables crossing the picture, but here, they're framing the birds in an interesting way.
Mr Crow, looking at me.
Mr Crow, on a roof.
A Setouchi Triennale 2025 art passport. It's Ogijima's page. Only five spots are stamped.
The Seto Inland Sea, late afternoon. The picture looks monochrome sepia or something, but no, it's in colors.
The Seto Inland Sea, except we see nothing, it's just fog.
Seto Inland Sea, late afternoon. One can see Megijima, Yashima, parts of Takamatsu Port with a cruise ship (I hope it burns in the middle of the ocean). There are two Naoshima ferries too, but they're hard to spot if you don't know them.
A picture of Takamatsu port taken from a car. There are ferries and people mostly.
Portrait of Valentina Tereshkova in her cosmonaut suit.
The Seto Inland Sea in the morning. It's mostly sunny, but there are some clouds in the sky.
A small path on campus with benches on the sides and the entire place covered with cherry blossom petals.
The Seto Inland Sea, late afternoon.
Mr Crow, on the sidewalk, looking at me.
I have no idea how to even start describing this. Okay, in the background there is a traditional Japanese village on a hill. On the foreground, it's a white structure that vaguely resembles a seashell. It's made of metal but it's actually "lace" made of various scripts from various languages. oh and it's actually the roof of a building made of glass, that happens to be the welcome center of the island. Does it made any sense?
Mr Crow, walking near me.
A corridor with some drawings on the walls (if you look closely, parts of the drawings have been erased). At the end of the corridor, a cupboard with something inside.
Mr Crow-by-the-sea eating peanuts on a seawall.
