POTD: Leura
From 2018 03 27 Sydney |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Leura, New South Wales. Nestled in the scenic Blue Mountains, Leura has a large number of cafes, restaurants, boutique and antique shops in a walkable village center. According to Wikipedia, "In 2016, Leura was included in a list of top 50 'most irresistible, exotic, historic and postcard-worthy small towns in Australia.'" We enjoyed a lunch of lasagne, which was served on a bed of french fries ("chips" I should say). Never had that before. Expect never to again.

Guns in RISD and the City of Richardson
Time magazine recently had a cover story titled "Guns in America" that features 245 people across America who share with Time readers their views on guns. Two of those people live in Richardson, Texas. Both are opposed to gun reform.
Chris McNutt is in the far right (of the photo, I mean, not on the political spectrum, although that wouldn't be wrong). He's standing by the TXGR (Texas Gun Rights) sign that features, oh I don't know, I'll call it a machine gun until an expert correctly identifies it in the comments.
Mabel Simpson is just below the "M" in the center. She's also holding a machine gun (again, a placeholder until some defender of liberty enlightens me in the comments).
Chris McNutt and Mabel Simpson are related but I don't know that plays into this story.

POTD: Blue Mountains
From 2018 03 27 Sydney |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, west of Sydney. Beautiful country. The Blue Mountains are part of Australia's Great Dividing Range, which separates the well-watered, populated coast of Australia from its dry, unpopulated Outback. In pioneer days, the range posed a barrier to settlement of the interior, like how the Appalachian Mountains did in America. But whereas American pioneers were drawn to the bountiful continent on the other side, Australian pioneers found the dry Outback desert, keeping settlement of the interior of the continent minimal to this day.
Bonus photos after the jump.

POTD: Fortune of War
From 2018 03 27 Sydney |
Today's photo-of-the-day is from Sydney, Australia. It's evidence that "rock, paper, scissors" is universal, as are dad jokes.
