Look up sometimes, while shambling inside. We really should paint all ceilings blue, with scattered clouds.
Look up to the sky....
Like an eye looking straight at us, the Iris Nebula (NGC 7023), glows in the constellation Cepheus, illuminated by a young star (SAO 19158). This reflection nebula, located 1,300 light-years from Earth, showcases the stunning interaction between starlight and cosmic dust.
Had Indian chaat lunch with friends. The ceiling was super pretty. #photography #yellow #California #SFBA #lookup

“Flock, the automatic license plate reader (ALPR) company with a presence in thousands of communities across the U.S., has stopped agencies across the country from searching cameras inside Illinois, California, and Virginia, 404 Media has learned. The dramatic moves come after 404 Media revealed local police departments were repeatedly performing lookups around the country on behalf of ICE, a Texas officer searched cameras nationwide for a woman who self-administered an abortion, and lawmakers recently signed a new law in Virginia. Ordinarily Flock allows agencies to opt into a national lookup database, where agencies in one state can access data collected in another, as long as they also share their own data. This practice violates multiple state laws which bar the sharing of ALPR data out of state or it being accessed for immigration or healthcare purposes.”

Good morning, Glasgow. It looks like it's going to be a rather nice day, so enjoy the city, and as this sign on Buchanan Street says, don't forget to look up and appreciate the architecture!
Clouds are the poetry of the sky, painting a canvas of natural beauty that reminds us to look up and appreiciate the world around us.
