I've just released a free photography e-book Venetian Observations at mattpalmer.co/venetian-observa…
It features street photography captured over about 2 weeks in Venice last year, with fairly irreverent commentary given the seriousness of most of my other projects!
Hope you enjoy 😀

»Und das ist das Beschämende an diesem Gesindel, das den Faschismus stützt:
daß ihm der Umfall auch nicht das geringste nützt.
Mit der Zeit werden sie eingehn.« (Kurt Tucholsky als Theobald Tiger, 1932)
Tucholsky, Kurt, Werke, 1932, Dreh dich hin, dreh dich her - kleine Wetterfahne -!
Literatur im Volltext: Kurt Tucholsky: Gesammelte Werke in zehn BZeno
Das Bild zeigt eine zentrale Darstellung des Namens "Tucholsky" in einer großen, schwarzen Handschrift, die sich über den oberen Teil des Bildes erstreckt. Darunter steht ein Zitat in deutscher Sprache: "Und das ist das Beschämende an diesem Gesindel, das den Faschismus unterstützt: daß ihm der Umfall auch nicht das geringste nützt. Mit der Zeit werden sie eingehen." Dieses Zitat ist aus dem Werk "Dreh dich hin, dreh dich her – kleine Wetterfahne –!" von Kurt Tucholsky, veröffentlicht im Jahr 1932, und wird hier als "Theobald Tiger" zitiert. Der Hintergrund des Bildes ist hell und neutral, wodurch der Text und die Handschrift des Namens besonders hervorgehoben werden.

O vídeo mostra uma cena de celebração em um vestiário, onde um grupo de jogadores de futebol, vestidos em uniformes laranja com detalhes brancos, estão em êxtase.

O ambiente é iluminado por luzes brancas no teto, e o fundo mostra armários de armazenamento típicos de um vestiário. Um jogador de uniforme azul se junta à celebração, e outros membros da equipe estão ao redor, alguns com roupas de treino e alguns sem camisa, segurando uma camisa amarela. A atmosfera é de euforia e camaradagem, com os jogadores interagindo e celebrando juntos.

okay, so i've been trying to find a big repository of old web banner ads for a long time, unfortunately it seems nobody's really ever wanted to archive them (probably because they have a negative connotation), but looking back at them, they're certainly a big part of internet history that i think should be archived
anyways, i found nearly 400 of them from an archived banner ad making website, funnily enough it seems that they stored them by putting each person's full email address in the URL, which is very much not secure at all lmao

Oh my gosh it's twelve minutes to #Monsterdon! Slime stations everyone! Today it's SLUGS. It looks really, really bad. So bad. Just so, so bad. I can't wait! 😁
Let's use #slugs1988 so we don't muck up the hashtag for nature-minded folks who want to behold actual slugs
Don knew what he was getting himself into, we all saw it, we all know it, we know what kind of man Don was, and now all we can do is celebrate him
Thanks to @Taweret for all the slow moving horror!
I hope everyone has a great week and remembers that salt is a thing, and that anchovy in salad is a bad idea for a variety of reasons!

9 Beautiful Moments When Nature and Art Became One
From ivy-blanketed murals to sculptures woven from willow branches, these 9 artworks blur the line between nature and art. You’ll find a dreaming child merging into a hedgerow in Ecuador, a giant girl watering a real tree in Poland, and a sleeping forest maiden who changes with the seasons in Cornwall. Artists around the world are letting nature do more than surround their work—it’s becoming part of it.

1. When Street Art Meets Nature — Imbabura, Ecuador
A child sleeps peacefully against a concrete wall, painted with lifelike softness by El Decertor. Ivy draped across the mural seamlessly forms a textured blanket, and a teddy bear peeks from underneath the greenery.🔗 Follow El Decertor on Facebook
2. Legend About Giants — Białystok, Poland
Painted by Natalia Rak, this towering mural features a young girl in traditional Polish dress gently watering a tree growing from the ground below. The tree aligns perfectly with her tilted watering can, turning the entire scene into a gentle urban myth.More by Natalia Rak!: The Muralist Turning Walls Into Masterpieces
3. Caring Hand — Glarus, Switzerland
Carved by Eva Oertli & Beat Huber, five stone fingers emerge from the earth to cradle a growing tree, as if nature itself is being held by a giant underground guardian.More photos here!: The Caring Hand – Sculpture in Glarus, Switzerland by Eva Oertli and Beat Huber
4. Wendy! I’m Home
A large expressive face inside the hollow of a tree. The grain and curvature of the wood become part of the face, making it appear as though the tree is speaking or laughing.
5. Come into Light — Tulum, Mexico
Created by Daniel Popper, this monumental wooden sculpture of a human figure gently opens its chest to reveal a tunnel of living greenery. The work invites visitors to step inside and walk through the heart of nature.🔗 Follow Daniel Popper on Instagram
6. Mud Maid — Cornwall, UK
This living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill lies in the woods of the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Covered in moss and ivy, it changes with the seasons, transforming from green and alive in summer to white and frozen in winter.More about Mud Maid here!: Mud Maid – Living sculpture by Sue and Pete Hill
7. Bougainvillea Crown — Corfu, Greece
On a wall in Paleokastritsa, an elegant face is painted alongside a flourishing bougainvillea. The artist positions the real branches as flowing floral hair, giving life and movement to the portrait.
8. Forest Archer — UK
Crafted by Anna & the Willow, this sculpture made entirely of woven willow shows a woman mid-draw with a bow and arrow. Set deep in a forest path, her flowing skirt and hair mimic the wind.🔗 Follow Anna & the Willow on Instagram
9. Vertical Garden — Patrick Blanc in Madrid, Spain
French botanist and artist Patrick Blanc created this monumental vertical garden on the side of a building near the CaixaForum in Madrid. Covering the entire façade, it features hundreds of plant species arranged in layers of color and texture, turning the urban wall into a living ecosystem.

This is interesting. As a truck driver, I think I agree. American trucks should be bigger, more fuel efficient, and more modern.

in reply to Futebola 🤪⚽ • • •A imagem mostra uma cena de uma operação policial em uma rua estreita e desgastada, com paredes de tinta descascada e janelas com grades. Dois policiais, vestidos com uniformes de operações especiais e equipados com armas, estão avançando cautelosamente. Um deles está em primeiro plano, apontando uma arma para a frente, enquanto o outro está um pouco atrás, também com uma arma. A atmosfera é tensa, sugerindo uma situação de alto risco.
No canto superior esquerdo, há um selo amarelo com a palavra "EXCLUSIVO", indicando que a imagem é de um material jornalístico. Na parte inferior da imagem, há uma barra de texto com informações sobre uma operação liderada por Neymar, um atacante do crime que era BDM e se tornou CV. A data e hora são mostradas como 11:31, e o logotipo "AO VIVO" sugere que a imagem é de uma transmissão ao vivo.
