This is the second in a proposed series on peculiarities I’ve encountered when walking. I originally intended these posts to appear only on Medium, but that’s a platform where most readers subscribe with a small annual fee for the opportunity to read from a vast collection of posts covering an enormous range of interests.

This is an update on a post I placed on Medium called ‘Searching On Amazon’ I’d found a book on Goodreads that seemed something I might be interested in, so I used Goodreads’ buying link to take me to it on Amazon. It took me nowhere near the book I wanted.  So, I searched for …

Subtitled ‘1001 Things Everyone Should Know About RELIGION’, this is a piece of work, as the subtitle says, everyone should read.That it is a scholarly work is indicated by the comprehensive bibliography, index and accompanying notes, which take up around 28% of the publication. The author lightens a heavy subject by being occasionally a little …

....this post is about art we may encounter as we travel through our world, things that either present themselves as subjects we can display in a visually exciting way, or created works of art we happen upon and capture as we travel. For the full post, visit Medium here.
Have you ever looked for a book on Amazon, using its specific title, and been presented with pages of other books, none of which answers your search? I've just posted a piece on Medium on the topic, here.

Graffiti is so personal, and sometimes a little inexplicable. This piece, found inside a deserted and damaged home in a spot difficult to access on a Greek island, can only be seen by anyone adventurous enough, and curious enough to venture inside a building that is far from welcoming from the outside. So, who sprayed …
