Edinburgh resident and identifies Scottish but also American. Data mining in astronomy. History, photography, cooking, bad jokes.
Best way to view the eclipse? Look in the opposite direction! A tree makes good shadows, also a colander.
Locals take pictures in #Edinburgh (blue/black), versus where the tourists take pictures (red/white). Adapted from brilliantmaps.com.
Exhibition at Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh. I think this could never be exhibited in the USA, even with its explicit free speech protections. Perhaps the UK is the new land of the free? #trump
The Rubin Observatory needs help from citizen scientists, please think of contributing, or suggesting this project to family members. We need to train the algorithm for real vs bogus images, and YOUR EYE is really good at this! www.zooniverse.org/projects/ebe...
The good news is that the Labour government has reduced by 1/3 the number of asylum seekers waiting in hotels and forbidden from working.
Being photobombed at Loch Sliphoirt, #OuterHebrides. Rain coming soon.
Callanish, 4000 year old megalith, Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Will definitely outlast the current crop of haters and fools.
Heroic statues appearing on North Bridge #Edinburgh. Newly painted side panels shyly on sjow. Could the endless works finally come to an end?
Can I just say how much I like the Barony Bar #Edinburgh? Not just Cask Marque beer for me, but also dog treats!
The Palestine Museum ìn #Edinburgh is full of beautiful art about love and struggle.
No Kings Day in England, 1649. The execution of Charles I. Too many capricious and self-serving Executive Orders.
Last November in Rockland County Kamala Harris got zero (0) votes. Weird huh?
A labyrinthine island of tranquillity in the midst of the hurly burly at George Square #Edinburgh
Warriston Cemetary #Edinburgh is utterly quiet, tranquil, and green. You will be alone.
#Scotland is in a drought. Grass is yellow. We need some serious rain.
I have a friend and while we talk they continuously twist a rubiks cube and these lovely patterns appear and disappear
In the ancient wall of my local petrol station is inscribed "The Baxters Land 1686". They were bakers based in the Canongate and had to grind their corn at Canonmills #Edinburgh
