Why did past societies build so much "useless" beauty everywhere — and why did we stop? It might be a measure of a culture's health... (thread) 🧵

RT’d for #StaircaseSaturday In 1931, Madame Antoinette Sherri started building her ‘castle’ in #Chesterfield #NewHampshire #USA. On her death, it fell into disrepair, & it burned down in 1962. All that remains is the stonework from the staircase, the foundation & a fireplace

Had a lovely few days in Yorkshire - a mixed bag of torrential rain and almost Mediterranean sun but it looks lovely in all weathers @WildlifeTrusts #30DaysWild

A sun dog rainbow fragment spotted in the clouds in West Yorkshire today 🌈 Perhaps it’s nature’s way of celebrating Pride month? 🙂 @WildlifeTrusts #30DaysWild @CloudAppSoc

At the risk of seeming a bit bee-obsessed 🐝 I was quite pleased with this snap of one in flight enjoying this foxglove in the sunshine @WildlifeTrusts #30DaysWild #Oxfordshire

Some beautiful reflections on the Oxford canal during the brief window of sunshine. We also spotted a wild otter (sadly it was too fast to snap a picture!) @WildlifeTrusts #Oxfordshire #30DaysWild
