Wind turbine blade being transported inland from the harbour. Only way to do it without knocking down all the buildings in town is to carry them *vertically*. This is in Wick, in Caithness.

Love this mural on Govan Road in Glasgow. Created by the street artist Smug and painted in 2022, it was inspired by Govan-born Peter Barr, who was also known as the daffodil King.

Back-end developer looking for work: Perl or similar, Glasgow or UK remote. I write well-crafted and -commented code, not too clever, with an emphasis on getting names right, testing and maintainability. I like talking to other people in the team and wider business. https://illuminated.co.uk/cv.pdf #getfedihired
