Fushimi Inari Taisha on a rainy night. #BlueSkyArtShow #Lights #Japan #nightphotography #streetphotography
Two people, holding umbrellas, walk under a row of Torii gates on a rainy night. The gates are so close together they almost form a red tunnel with lanterns down the side illuminating the scene.

Early fall offers some great photography opportunities. #BlueSkyArtShow #Golden #landscape #photography #forest #autumn
The first golden leaves of the fall shine through dark tree trunks.

There's a mountain in there if you look hard enough. #Minimal #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #landscapephotography #pnw #mountains

Late summer in the Brenta Dolomites. Humans for scale. #BluskyArtShow #Summer #landscapephotography #dolomites #mountains
Two hikers walk through a grassy field. Beyond the field, steep mountains rise up to a light blue sky. Clouds hug the summits of the mountains.

Possibly one of the best #water reflections I’ve captured. This is from a backpacking trip in #greenland #blueskyartshow #landscapephotography
A black and white photo showing a mountain and clouds reflected in a still lake. It’s difficult to tell where the reflection starts.

Yes this photo did involve getting my camera way closer to a spinning lathe than I would have liked. #macro #BlueSkyArtShow #machining

I spent a lot of time driving on this road, and always thought this #curve would make a decent photo. #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #landscapephotography #winter #newengland #snow #artsky
A road twists through snowy hills next to a river. Headlights and taillights streak along the road as the pink of sunset fades from the sky.

It's hard to resist a foggy, damp night. I would like to thank people for not parking on the street. I think the sparse cars really add to the photo's atmosphere. #night #streetphotography #foggy #artsky #photography

There is a bird in this photo. It's almost like playing Where's Waldo. This photo is almost a little too #busy for me, but I think that makes it perfect for today's #blueskyartshow topic. #nature #photography #artsky #birds
Surrounded by small, yellow flowers, a brown and white bird perches on a branch. The multitude of flowers makes the photo very busy compositionally.

We had some interesting weather on our way up Mt. Baker with roving rainstorms in the morning. I did get some nice clouds out of it though. #landscapephotography #photography #nature #mountains #b&w #pnw

Here's a photo from a ski trip on Mt Baker. We had some pretty great sunsets the 2 nights we spent out there. #photography #landscapephotography #mountains #sunset #pnw #mt.baker

These flowers were shockingly red and contrasted really well with the concrete background. #photography #naturephotography #flowers #streetphotography

Apparently I like the aesthetics of Japanese exterior staircases. I took so many photos of them. #photography #streetphotography #architecture #Japan #artsky

I think this was about the point where I started to feel that I was getting better at night photography. #streetphotography #artsky #nightphotography #Japan

That was a lot of Torii gates. The rain really added something. #photography #streetphotography #travel #Japan #nightphotography
Red torii gates, packed closely together, line a damp walkway. A lamp post at the end of the walkway illuminates the walkway in the rainy night.

Alright, I did remember. Didn't get very lucky with the ski conditions on Hokkaido (oh no, I have to go back, what a shame), but I did get this nice sunset photo of Mt Yotei. #photography #artsky #landscape #mountains #Japan

I guess I have decided to post more of my photos. I'll start with some photos from a trip to Japan this past winter. We'll see if I remember to post another photo tomorrow. #photography #Japan #streetphotography #architecture

🧵 @jburnmurdoch.ft.com is spot on about the conditions in his FT piece. Liberal democracy held it together thanks to growth, good demographics, and the promise of a better future. Those days are gone, and that’s the "why" behind the erosion. However...

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.

Last fall I managed to snag a last minute permit to hike the northern half of the lost coast trail. The tides weren’t ideal, so I did have to hike 34 km in a day. #landscapephotography #lostcoasttrail #norcal

In light of the protests in Tbilisi tonight, I am posting some photos from a backpacking trip last August in the mountains of Northern Georgia. It’s an amazing country with amazing people. Good luck to the brave protesters #freegeorgia #landscapephotography #caucasusmountains

Figured I would use my first post to check the compression on photos. #landscapephotography Took this photo after an ice storm in Western Massachusetts. The hike to the ridgeline involved a lot of crawling under iced over branches in the dark, but it was completely worth it.
Sunrise over a forest after an ice storm. The ice coating the branches is illuminated by the pink morning light as puffy clouds sit over the horizon.
