Cathedral: Study (2022) by Matthew Simmonds transforms stone into quiet architecture. Inspired by Gothic cathedrals, the sculpture captures light, symmetry, and spiritual calm within a small yet powerful form.

Damn Scandinavians. 😉
Somehow they always make everything look effortlessly simple.

Architect Martin Videgård, co-founder of Tham & Videgård, designed Husarö House as a summer retreat for his own family, replacing a scattered group of small buildings that had occupied their island site in the Stockholm archipelago for years.
What could have remained a messy cluster of cabins became a single, calm architectural gesture resting lightly on the rocky landscape.
😎
There’s something amusingly poetic about an architect finally designing for the most demanding clients of all: his own family.😬
The result is a house that feels almost inevitable: precise, restrained, and quietly confident. Pine trees, granite, sea, and a volume so composed it almost feels like it has always been there.

Minimalism, in this case, isn’t a style. It’s the moment when an architect gets to build exactly the house he always wanted.

The story of “Give a Little Bit” began when Roger Hodgson was still very young.
He wrote the song when he was around twenty, during a time when he truly believed the world could change through small acts of kindness. 😎

The idea came after listening to songs from the 1960s peace movement. He wanted to create a simple melody with a message about giving something to others, even if it’s just a smile or a bit of your time. ☮🕊✌

For years he carried that song around on a small cassette, playing it for friends and fellow travellers, until one day he finally brought it to the band. 👩‍🎤🎛

When Supertramp recorded it in 1977, nobody imagined it would become an international anthem. 📢

Hodgson later said the message came from a personal belief: happiness isn’t found in taking, but in sharing.
Even today, audiences sing it together, almost like a simple promise among strangers.

While searching for image references for a new T-shirt, I stumbled upon Atheris squamigera, commonly known as the variable bush viper, green bush viper, leaf viper, or Hallowell's green tree viper, is a venomous viper species endemic to tropical rainforests across West and Central Africa.
