Sergio De León’s 2025 film Siempre Vuelven (Keep Coming Back) is now on DVD. The atmospheric film about young Emilio, who is tasked with caring for his deceased mother’s pigeon dovecote, combines a story of rural Uruguayan life with surreal imagery reminiscent of James Bidgood’s Pink Narcissus.

If you have writ your annals true, tis there, that like an eagle in a dovecote I fluttered your Volscians in Corioli.

Good lord. I just watched Lizzie Borden and Aileen Wournos dance to Bronski Beat in a dovecote with their girlfriends.
Either those were the wrong mushrooms or I'm watching Ryan Murphy TV again.

I curtseyed to the dovecote.
I curtseyed to the well.
I twirled me round and round about,
The morning sweets to smell.
When out I came from spinning so,
Lo, betwixt green and blue
Was the ghost of me—a Fairy Child—
A-dancing—dancing, too.

Anyone can have a pigeon these days, if they want to. And that's the reason most people don't.

Such a shame this isn't eligible for the 'Best photo of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a second album she's slightly disappointed by' award
Very probably the best photo I've ever taken of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a debut album she is thoroughly proud of.

No particular reason, but here are some rooflights and/or oculi, from the archive.
A cancer support centre, an old bird house, a bank, and an art gallery.
Three from Scotland, one from Germany. And honestly the third one isn’t actually American. Really.

Not far from the art exhibition I spied this, Bruton Dovecote, which I've often noticed on various train journeys and have been keen to visit, and now I have, here's a couple of photos of it 🙂
