This is the Gavin Maxwell memorial overlooking the lovely beach at Back Bay, Monreith, where Maxwell’s family lived. When he was home, he used to exercise his otters on the beach here. The title I’ve used on this photo is from the beautiful poem ‘The marriage of Psyche’ by Kathleen Raine. It is where the title of his book ‘Ring of Bright Water’ came from. Raine was deeply in love with Maxwell but sadly for her it was an unrequited love as Maxwell was gay. Every time I come here I think of that poem. I’ll post a photo of the view from here and you’ll see why.

Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter are all featured—along with a special display for Lunar New Year. When the seasons change so do the displays. The talented Conservatory team changes out the design and also replants and repurposes as much of the living plant material as possible, further celebrating Mother Nature and our commitment to sustainability."

Novaya Usman is a village (since 1598) in the Voronezh Oblast of Russia, the administrative center of the Novousmansky District, as well as the Usman 1st rural settlement.
Population: 36,540 people (2021), the largest village in Russia, the third rural settlement in Russia after the Krasnodar villages of Kanevskaya and Dinskaya).

The year 1598 is considered to be the year of foundation of Novaya Usman. At that time there was a settlement here. In 1601-1602, near the beautiful Usmanka River, in a forest clearing, the tsar's governor Boris Vasilyevich Sobakin acquired lands that were nicknamed after his last name - Sobakina Polyana. Later in the documents of that time, this place is called Sobakina Usman, Sobakino.
During the time of Peter the Great, the residents of Usman Sobakina actively participated in the construction of ships. In 1746, the village had 785 households and more than 2 thousand residents. In October 1781, a postal route from Voronezh to Tambov passed through Usman Sobakina. A post station was established in the village for passengers to rest and change horses.

“Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy”,on exhibit at The Shed from November 20, 2024 through January 5, 2025, revived the world’s first art amusement park, originally created in 1987 by artist André Heller in Hamburg, Germany. After being stored in Texas for over three decades, the exhibition resurrected thirteen of the original thirty attractions, including works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Salvador Dalí, David Hockney, and Roy Lichtensten, in Los Angeles in December 2023.
Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and it offers a mini East Africa experience with a safari experience, animal sanctuaries, vibrant city centre, beautiful British colonial architecture, modern African architecture, great museums, good restaurants, and an African cultural village. Since I only had two days in Nairobi and Kenya, I booked a private city tour on my first day to see all the cultural attractions I wanted to see.
After visiting the city centre of Nairobi and the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, I had a quick lunch stop at the Golden Eagle Art Gallery. After lunch, I had some time to browse through the art gallery which was actually a souvenir store. Photography was permitted inside the art gallery. This shows the impressive animal sculptures. I observed that nature and animals were the inspiration for art in Kenya and Tanzania.
