#clipart — Public Fediverse posts

Ah, the art of recreating your grandma's wallpaper in SVG form 🤦‍♂️! Fifty shades of triangles and blobs, because nothing screams "cutting-edge design" like 2D clip art. 🖍️✨ Meanwhile, somewhere in the universe, a real artist weeps. 🎨😢

Behold, the hodgepodge of open source icons! 🤯 Dive into a never-ending abyss of license names and pixel sizes, because who doesn't love a side of legal jargon with their clip art? 🎨⚖️ It's like a buffet, but for icons that'll make your eyes glaze over faster than a broken GIF. 😂

Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, UK

Known today especially for its gardens, Alnwick Castle was first buyilt in 1096, possibly on the site of an earlier Roman fort. It was rebuilt in the 1300s and again in the 1700s. The same family has lived there, Percy, since around 1300.

Cholmondeley Castle.

It’s pronounced “Chumley” and the same family has been living there since 1066 or so (they must be getting old by now).

The castle was built in the early 19th century, replacing an older wooden hall. Sorry, i don’t know if it has a dungeon :) The chapel (i think on the right) is much older.
