Funny

Hilarious bumper sticker spotted on an errand run the other day. We could all use a little humor in these stressful times.

Speaking of churches, here's a picturesque birdbath in the garden of First Lutheran on North Cascade Avenue. In monochrome this simple shot is slightly creepy. I like!

Embrace Your Inner and Outer Goth

I appreciate a proper gothic church, especially around Halloween time. This is Grace Episcopal on Tejon Street, erected around 1874 in the Gothic Revival style. I think it's our city's most beautiful church. You should see the interior, it's gorgeous in there.

Sunday Style!

Cool dude seen in a London train station in 2024. Extra points for reading an actual book instead of staring at his phone like everyone else.

The Colorado Psychedelic Church

Did you know that we have a church here that espouses the use of psychedelics as a vehicle in your spiritual journey? It's called the Colorado Psychedelic Church -- a bit on the nose, yes, but might as well get straight to the point. Your first reaction might be to laugh but they're serious. And hey, we have about ten zillion other churches here, why not a psychedelic one, right? Their message is quite positive and inclusive, and I can certainly wrap my brain around that. And it's not like there haven't been countless other religious practices over the long history of human existence that have used mind altering drugs as part of their rituals.

I've been aware of its existence for some time but I only recently realized that the Colorado Psychedelic Church is next door to Cameraworks, where I buy a lot of my photography gear! Maybe they just moved into that spot. You'd think I would have noticed before now.
