Beautiful and so very #ArtNouveau silver plated table lamp by Moritz Hacker of Vienna, circa early 1900s.
Featuring a slender mermaid, her arms raised and reclining back into the gracefully arched shape of the lamp stem. This curves forward in fluid form and houses the extremely pretty shell shade.

I couldn't find an obvious way to attach a cover letter for #Lime, so I posted this instead.
Just me, having a blast, scoot'n in Warsaw.
Not sure exactly what is going on with this PSA on a Percival Landing Park sidewalk, though many speculations spring to mind.
Pretty sure there is a lot to unpack.
Absolutely sure that Gilead is now making itself comfortable in the USA.
Early today, when the streets were nearly empty, a personal passenger vehicle in #Portland appears to have blown a red light and caused a collision with a lightrail train.
People often blame people on bikes for causing collisions because they’re not well lit, not following traffic laws or behaving predictably.
If a train with intensely bright headlights, that literally runs on both rails & a schedule isn’t safe, maybe the problem isn’t people on bikes.
A little tea behind this stained glass?

Instead of ordering more buses for Sydney's Northern Beaches, what would make more sense is a train (or at least light rail): https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/fleet-of-new-buses-to-be-ordered-for-sydney-s-north-after-commuter-hell-20250310-p5lifz.html #nswpol #auspol #urbanism
North Sydney Council is calling for Miller St in the Nth Sydney CBD to be pedestrianised. It's an excellent idea: https://www.northsydney.nsw.gov.au/news/article/281/council-calls-for-a-miller-street-pedestrian-plaza #nswpol #auspol #urbanism
I love seeing #albuquerque making improvements to their infrastructure that helps get people out of their cars.

At the same time, I have no sympathy for politicians who encouraged recalls as a way of life instead of an exceptional tool, so they can suck it up

No, we don't need more space in our cities for monster SUVs. The answer is alternatives to driivng, and size limits on cars: https://www.theage.com.au/national/mega-car-in-a-mini-space-how-suvs-are-reshaping-australian-car-parks-20250226-p5lfc6.html #auspol #urbanism
@ajsadauskas@pixelfed.social Some background on this project.
Sydney Metro West is a ~24km (14.9 mi) automated train line
When it's completed in 2032, it will connect the two main downtown areas in the Greater Sydney metropolitan area: the Sydney CBD and Parramatta.
It will also feature 8 (and potentially 10) other stations, including Sydney Olympic Park (where the 2000 Olympics were held), Parramatta's Westmead hospital precinct, and urban renewal precincts like Rose Bay.
One of those stops is at North Burwood in Sydney's inner-west, roughly half way between the Sydney CBD and Parramatta.
The southern end of Burwood has become a hub for Sydney's Chinese community.
It features a bustling Chinatown precinct, with night markets, many restaurants, and new apartment blocks. It's served by a train station, with two indoor urban shopping centres within walking distance.
The metro station aims to bring some of that dynamism to the northern end of Burwood Rd.
The local city council recently adopted a masterplan outlining its vision for urban renewal in the area, which you can see here: https://participate.burwood.nsw.gov.au/burwood-north-precinct-masterplan
It will see new public parks, apartments, and retail businesses built within a short walk of the new station.

The “Ceylan” vase by René Lalique features four sweet parakeet pairs upon an #artnouveau vine pattern. This example, in frosted glass, features a stunning opalescent color scheme, but examples have been reproduced in gold, turquoise, and more.
