Mostly, I’m ready to get back to home and to building techthings. But this is pretty good.
Love this beachfront Brutalist apartment building in Ipanema.
There are two TV stations in North Korea, one of which features nothing but propaganda-splashed photos of sunsets, interspersed with scenes from “revolutionary operas.” In that context, this oil painting of Kim Jong Il didn’t seem so strange.

A bike ride along the northern shore of Lake Kivu, one of the world’s extremely rare exploding lakes. Though there wasn’t any visible volcanic activity beyond a hot spring, I was treated to a tea plantation (first photo) and cries of “Umuzungu!” (“White person!”) from a few hundred children in the villages we passed.
I spy a Lawrence Weiner.
