@c_dan4th you're welcome and happy Saturnalia!
@donncha great pic. We're coming to Cork in the spring to see Springsteen, what else should we do while there?

That was fun getting out in photograph Cork City, particularly Grand Parade tonight. It was quieter than I expected, but then again, there's an awful wind and it's cold.
Didn't stop a bunch of drunks going up on the Big wheel!

Still one of the best Solstice songs, also good for Christmas, thanks Dar Williams!

I wouldn't use living persons. We use planets and moons to name our servers, and I am sure that flower and bird names would be nice, too.

I have a list of adventurers https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzerin:WiseWoman/Entdeckerinnen , scientists https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzerin:WiseWoman/Wissenschaftlerinnen and artists https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzerin:WiseWoman/K%C3%BCnstlerinnen that were "women in red" in the Wikipedia, that is, without an article. Slowly articles are growing, thanks to initiatives such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_Red

@xurizaemon which? Maybe a 'gift link' I can share

For many years now - decades - I've been illustrating my blog posts by mixing public domain and Creative Commons art with work that I can make a good fair use case for. As bad as art as I may be, all this practice has paid off. Call it unseemly, but I think I'm turning out some terrific illustrations - not all the time, but often enough.

Last year, I rounded up my best art of the year:
