Some rather stunning stencilling on the walls of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's 1850s Holmwood House on the Southside of Glasgow. If I remember correctly, this was part of the design by Thomson himself uncovered during restoration work. This involved carefully scraping off the layers of paint and wall paper which had been added to the interior over the century and a half or so since it was constructed to reveal as much of the original details as possible.

A #Padova sta aprendo una nuova casa rifugio per persone #LGBTQ+ che subiscono discriminazioni e violenze. È un progetto pilota e i finanziamenti riescono a coprire solo le spese vive. Per questo condivido l'appello dei colleghi che ci stanno lavorando: se avete cose/oggetti che non vi servono più, ma ancora in buono stato, invece di buttare o lasciare in uno scatolone, per qualcunə potrebbero essere utili. Tra le altre cose, stanno cercando:

Libri
Giochi da tavolo/di carte

The scene was much more amazing than this three or four minutes earlier, taller rainbow, crepuscular rays etc, but the camera on my phone refused to start, so I had to reboot the phone and that took AGES, and the light was going and going, and the rainbow was getting smaller and smaller and then finally... a pants picture by comparison to all the ones I could have taken before.
