Is it the hippo, the tiger or bear, or an elk that you seek from here and elsewhere?
The Leeds City Museum in West Yorkshire, England. Now occupying the former Mechanic's Institute in what was Cookridge Street, renamed Millenium Square.

#introduction update for my second Mastodon anniversary!
I'm a #nonbinary #transmasc #lgbtqia person in my late 30s, I live in #Finland and pretty much toot in English.
I've been with my partner for over 16 years, we run a #pinball arcade together as a hobby. We have two elderly #cats who also get shared on here on the occasion.
I play a lot of #VideoGames, especially #RPGs and post about my progress, usually with pictures or videos.
I enjoy #travel, I've been to 13 different countries so far. I also enjoy meeting people from all around the world.
I do a lot of #crafts especially when the weather is bad. I #knit, #crochet and #CrossStitch
I'm a #chef by profession, I love good #food and great #coffee. I've been working at a student cafe on a uni campus for almost 7 years.
I like #cycling and try to keep some sort of decent condition with it. We have pretty good cycling routes in my home town. Photo evidence is shared on the occasion.
If you read this far, and share interests, give me a follow 😁

Looking for recommendations:
I’ll be traveling to #SaltLakeCity #Utah (the Sandy/South Jordan area) next month, and I’d like to get some eats and drinks from restaurants that aren’t owned/run by MAGAts. Any suggestions?

Ever since I was a little boy, I have always wanted to get to the top of the landscape, to see the full view, capture the panorama.
And for most of my life, I have lived in valleys . . .
But that's okay, because I love to hike, and there are many, many places to climb up to.

Neither circumstances nor weather, she determined, would decide either the course or the mood of her day.
If it were rainy, she had an umbrella; and if it were sunny, she had a parasol.
Either way, she knew that this was going to be a great day.

This was the moment I fell in love with Paris. What else can you ask for? Beautiful sunset, iconic Eiffel tower in the back drop, being with my love, surrounded by people that are happy and also in love, and the beautiful voice of the performers. Everything is just perfect. If there's ever a perfect moment, I think that was it.

Perhaps the first thing one noticed was the singing of the birds -- a happy, gentle chirping that filled the air with merriness.
Or maybe it was the scenery itself, the undulating hills filling one's sight with their strength and timelessness.
Or perhaps it was both, since one can hear and see at the same time . . .

I'm making a pilgrimage to 3 great observatories in Chile's Atacama desert (ALMA, CCAT, and the Simons Observatory). It's a trip I've dreamed about for years. Will try to post updates as I go.
Just getting there--from Santiago to Calama to San Pedro--is spectacular. Such raw geology.

One of my favorite ways to begin a day is with the question, "So, what do you want to do today?"
Not enough days begin that way, since generally, the things that need to be done have already announced themselves, but on those days when there are no obligations, it's my favorite question to ask.

So much life had been lived in this place: the old church had looked out upon generations of families farming in this valley, people who climbed up to the hilltop city to visit its markets, walk its streets, enter its buildings.
The technology had changed but humanity had not: there were goodness and evil, greed and kindness, fear and calm.
Reality is timeless.

"The US needs more than 3,000 new air traffic controllers to reach adequate staffing, according to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, a union representing 10,800 professional controllers.
“Keep in mind, this particular air traffic control facility has been chronically understaffed for years and without these controllers...Newark airport cannot handle the number of planes that are scheduled“.
