  1. Sitting on a Sea Turtle in Piccadilly

    We’re near Piccadilly Circus, there’s a big painted sea turtle sculpture on a blue plinth, part of a public art trail supported by Deborah Meaden and Steven Bartlett, no less, and absolutely nobody sitting on it is paying the slightest bit of attention to it. They’re all on their phones.

    The star of the show for me is the person in the middle, who has gone full Union Jack: hat, bag, the works, paired with red tracksuit bottoms and a set of brightly coloured trainers that honestly deserve their own photo.

    Love London for street photography!

  6. ✈️ Borrowed my friend's drone for this one! An old Mig-19 perched on top of a plinth, a former gate guardian at the site of a former Soviet airbase. Somewhere in Georgia.

    I seriously think he’s suffering from a mental illness. Whoever becomes the next president will need more than a plaque to document Trump’s lies. A concrete plinth 300 metres high built by a team of construction engineers would be more appropriate. Using 6pt Helvetica to make sure they can fit everything on.

  12. Nestled in the heart of Alnwick, the Market Place is a charming #HistoricTown square surrounded by traditional #StoneArchitecture and independent shops. The central stepped plinth of the old Market Cross reflects the town’s medieval heritage, making it a popular gathering point for locals and visitors alike. Outdoor seating and nearby cafés create a lively atmosphere in this #Northumberland hub, perfect for people-watching and soaking in the historic ambience. A favourite spot for #TravelPhotography, the square embodies the timeless character of a quintessential English #TownSquare.

  14. The locomotive we see today at the museum is actually a not-particularly-accurate reconstruction of that engine that was made in 1857 in order to put on display on a plinth at the Stockton & Darlington Railway. There’s very little of the original engine surviving, the boiler having exploded in 1827.

    The date is widely hailed as the first steam-hauled passenger railway in England, which widely dismisses the fact that whilst the railway line was used for passenger services after that, it remained horse-drawn until 1834, as steam was reserved exclusively for hauling coal until then.

    There’s a great 16 minute myth-busting video by Andrew McLean, curator of the National Railway Museum, up on YouTube: youtu.be/pP44h0CduWY

    So, today is mostly symbolic. But all anniversaries of this type generally are, and we can definitely say it was the first trip on the Stockton & Darlington railway. And, well, as symbols go, it’s as good as any to fixate on. So, happy 200 years!

  19. Some more of Torro I, Thuh latest piece..

    Standing on three leaning feet holding up a slanted wide plinth. From the plinth an uneven triangular volume rises which is truncated at the top. Four recessed channels follow the front, top and partially the back of the pyramid...

  20. CW: Political whinge of the highest order

    @SteveClough To quote one of our #SODEM banners "Liars, Cheats, Thieves , Charlatans" Proudly displayed for many years outside the HoC , Parliament Green under the plinth. Then 'authority' took exception, allowed the fascist , #EDL etc in and 'kindly' allowed a 6 person protest on a traffic island. #democracy #justice . Not in little #engerland @RejoinEU @RejoinEU4me

  21. S. Maria Maggiore 🇮🇹 on the #Vigezzina narrow gauge line at lunchtime today: pictured is the 10:51 #Locarno to #Domodossola service, stopping here right before noon and worked by a #Centovalli Express unit. The other bonus for the railfan: the plinthed tramcar, opposite the station building.

  26. CW: Trans rights protest

    Awesome protest in Bristol today against the Supreme Court ruling last week against trans women. So many supportive groups coming together.

    This was the plinth in Bristol that the slave trader statue was on that got dumped into the water that time. When this guy got up the crowd let out a huge cheer!

  27. Cob is a natural building material made from subsoil, water, organic fibrous material such as straw, and sometimes lime. A masonry plinth is normally built first to raise the cob off the ground. Ideally, the earth for the cob is dug on site or nearby.

    Cob building is currently practiced predominantly in Devon, as well as in Cornwall. These examples are in the south-eastern part of Devon, where the New Red Sandstone gives rise to rich red soils.

  28. Just saw that Beolover has a fully restored Beogram 4000, with a brand new hood and oak plinth, up for sale.

    It was fully restored, and includes both the Beolover-designed upgraded power supply and bypassable phono preamp.

    Not 'cheap’ ($6999), but entirely turnkey save for the cartridge, and with a one-year warranty.

    It's a great deck, so if it appeals, I can certainly recommend his work, as I've had him restore two of mine.

  29. Looks like a painting, but it's actually a #googlepixel6 image taken in Menton in the south of France. There was no pomegranate there, only a bare plinth waiting for something. Luckily I had one in my bag 😎
