Gossip (1885) by English painter John William Waterhouse (1849-1917). The second half of the 1880s witnessed Waterhouse's most intense interest in landscape and outdoor genre subjects, and his fascination with effects of natural light. The observation of the wall, the foliage and the moss-covered yard is meticulous and highly accomplished, whilst the gestures of the figures are convincing and sensitively studied.

In many similar struggles that have unfolded in recent years across Central #Texas, protection of creeks and rivers from treated wastewater discharge falls to shoestring community groups as an onslaught of population growth and development pushes ever deeper into the countryside. https://www.texasobserver.org/central-texas-wastewater-pollution-rivers/

Primer día de trabajo y nos quedamos sin internet. Una cosa que ocurre con demasiada frecuencia aquí en #Cantabria oriental #rural.

También hay que decir que no es de extrañar, dado que desde hace varios días (¿semanas?) HAY UN ÁRBOL descansando sobre las líneas de telecomunicaciones en un prau. Y muchas más quimas sobre las líneas desde la última tormenta fuerte de viento.

Y seguro —¡SEGURO!— que no les ha avisado ningún gobernante de este pueblo. Porque we have to fend for ourselves here.
