Day 25/365: Tiny cherub

[nanila]

I spent most of the last two days in back-to-back meetings in a room with no windows. I am, therefore, bereft of inspiration for today's post. Have a photo of a tiny cherub tucked into a high alcove. I see him whenever I walk to work. (He is also a Pokéstop.)

One of the things that has been interesting about Pokémon Go is that it makes civic art a lot more visible to people. I have seen all sorts of neat murals (one that is specifically Pokémon-themed) near me in the constant quest for supplies.

[nanila]

Yes! I like it when the game makes me notice such things, particularly those that I'd walked past many times and not taken the time to appreciate.

I'm also kind of happy that several civic buildings are also stops. Admittedly, here in the States, your closest stop is equally likely to be some form of Protestant church as it is anything else, but it is nice to know that libraries and government functions are also something a person might discover on their walks or drives.

It's a lovely photo. Is it in black and white or is that just the way the colours turned out?

[nanila]

Thank you. It was almost black and white, as the statue and the alcove are both white. I took it just before dawn, played with it a bit and decided it looked best without any residual colour.

Ugh... All day meetings.

They are awful, and unless they're like, a training course or something, they usually mean that someone hasn't done sufficient preparation. (Hint: that wasn't me :P)
