Neat! I didn't know that.

Hey Hey! 5 foot 2inches - maybe I could wear that hat!
Yes, thee days we need to be very careful from where we get our historical perspective.

Yep - been in both of those places!

That would be a great thing!!!

He'll appreciate this practice run when he gets up to dealing with Lieutenant Scrawl. He may need a host of heavenly angels to back him up.

Oh wow, thanks Randi - it only just occurred to me about an hour ago that the anniversary would be coming up!

It sure has been fun, tracking down suitable pieces of artwork, coming up with fitting captions, and then seeing how much you guys enjoy them.
I never thought it would even come close to lasting this long when I started it, but I'm glad it has!

And I'm not in any danger of running out, either. At the moment, I have enough material for at least a whole year, at the rate of 1 per week (too lazy to count at the moment), and I'm sure I will find more. There's always been more - in fact, I just came across another three paintings earlier today!

Congratulations Chris for 5 great years of Dockside Gallery. I was so surprised to see it come up on the 'unread' list that I had to check the day of the week today (definitely covid-calendar head )

I joined to work on weather and climate- who knew I would learn so much art history along the way! Thanks, Chris.

It feels gladiatorial at times - nice to know we can get a decent rinse-off afterwards
