I’ve had enough of Obsidian and Standard Notes; the updates and update mechanisms, and the non-standard (and sub-standard) UIs. Moved my individual notes into Bear, and my old “notes” hierarchy of text files/folders is now in a BBEdit project. My shared/collaborative notes are still in Apple Notes.๐Ÿ“”

Layers of mountain โ›ฐ๏ธ

Several layers of misty mountains in the distance, taken from between two roofs of a Japanese castle, a cloudy sky above, and an almost luminous-green field of grass below

Denzel Washington dressed in black, sitting on a chair, eyes staring straight out, seeming like they're almost glowing; a poster for The Equalizer 3

Seventeenth-century arches made from piedra ostionera (“oyster stone”), a porous sandstone containing oyster shells and other fossilised creatures. I really like how it looks and feels. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

Three arches, pointed at the top, one at 90-degrees to the other two, and formed of yellow-coloured rough stone bricks

I wonder if the arch is purely decorative, or whether it functioned differently before being filled in. ๐ŸชŸ๐Ÿšช๐ŸชŸ
