The mural of a huge head watches a young woman bringing a dog for a walk in Lisbon. The mural caught my eye.

80th anniversary of Warsaw Uprising
Young men climbed on a public toilet in the centre of Warsaw this afternoon to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.
At 5pm, sirens rang out and suddenly red flares were lit as a large cargo plane flew overhead. Smoke from the flares filled the air, and it got noticeably cooler as the sun was temporarily blocked.
The flares and smoke cleared within minutes, and a commanding voice in Polish continued to talk to the massive crowd.
Earlier in the day, we observed a simple military service. Two elderly people were there, and it’s obviously about the Uprising, but if anyone recognises them, I’d love to know more.
This episode of Dan Snow’s History Hits podcast does a great job covering what happened when Poles rose up against heir Nazi occupiers 80 years ago today. I found a Reddit thread about it too.

Just dog walking
Sometimes a photo is just what it appears, a walk enjoyed by human and dog alike, in Amsterdam earlier this year.

A face in the crowd on a dull day
It was a chilly March afternoon in Cork. Some were wrapped up tight against the cold, while it didn’t bother others. Look out the window now and enjoy the heat of July!

Daffodils in February
It’s nice to receive a gift, and when they’re flowers on a February afternoon, all the better.

From mannequin to human

A chat on the phone
A woman relaxing on a bench outside a bookshop in Amsterdam while talking on her phone. I guess she was about to order something to eat, if that’s a menu in front of her.

Hidden History
A car parked on the pavement of a street at 190 Leof. Ionias in Athens, Greece. It’s half covered by sheets of plastic and cloth, but looking at Google Street View it appears to be there since at least 2022. Other cars have occupied this spot since at least 2009. That’s how far back that Street View goes.
