🥥 Apologies to #Albania, Albanians, & you @servelan.
Edited version coming soon as I figure a way to say it more in the spirit of the #Fediverse, which I respect and strive to support.
PS: My intent was to make parts of the US sound backward, rather than casting shade on beautiful Albania nestled by the #Ionian & #Adriatic seas. If you're familiar with my toots, I traffick heavily in #snark, sarcasm, and bad taste. I'll be the first to admit that I'm NOT everyone's cup of tea. 🥥

Visiting Greece again, still not terrible. #sailing #ionian

The focus of interest on Flickr today seems to be my photos of the Temple of Apollo at Didyma. A renowned oracle of the ancient world.

The photo shows the temple wall, with the pronaos to the left. The adyton was at the far end of the temple.

🐙 It’s a map! Here's our complete voyage around the #Ionian Islands.
🗺️ https://d3e.co/iea-map

We’re making a circuit from Corfu to Paxos, mainland Greece, Preveza, Lefkada, Kephalonia, Zakynthos, Ithaca, & back. Along the way, we’ll visit ancient #archeology sites, #nature reserves, #hidden caves & beaches, and local #climate activists.

You coming? 😉

Today's random thought turned hyper-focus: what would Twinkle Twinkle Little Star sound like in all 7 modes of the major scale? So here they are in all their weirdness. As expected, Locrian (the last one) is terrifying.

Oh and the image I made using #blender. It's a volumetric with a bunch of math nodes thrown at it.

Greek village cat. King of all he surveys. His right whiskery eyebrow is much more impressive than his left one! Lefkada #Ionian #Caturday

Medicane Cassilda is now building strength and heading towards Greece. If you're in the area, get your foul weather gear out, find a safe anchorage and drop your sprayhoods.

If you're wondering why there isn't a more official source, that's because it's a relatively new weather phenomena in the Med.
