#lights from a galaxy far, far away at Disney's Galaxy's Edge in Hollywood Studios. Shot at night, the place feels even more alien and beautiful. #blueskyartshow #photography

An empty passageway that is normally filled with shops and people during the day. It's got a cool blue backdrop with most of the frame being filled by a warm lighted glow from hanging lanterns. The walkway has a strange pattern and the shops are concrete alcoves with wires criss crossed overhead.

The Millennium Falcon starship is in its hanger bay awash with warm lights, with the mountain peaks behind it in a neon blue lighting. The place is empty. The sky overhead is cloudy, no alien stars are visible.

Inside the cantina, it is lit with a neon red light overhead in an alien looking structure and pattern. A large circle of wires and machinery take up the center of the frame. The circular bar underneath it is packed with people ordering drinks. The bar itself is giving off a white glow.

A quiet corner with sleeping droids lit by a few lamps overhead hung by strings. There is a cabinet and tools behind them and a railing in front of them. The sky overhead is cloudy.

Throwback to 9/2/2016 from when the sunset stole the show at the #phillies game. Ain't no #lights like sunset lights. #blueskyartshow #photography

Picture of the Citizens Bank Park field at sunset mid-phillies game. The sunset is a beautiful palette of reds, oranges, blues, and yellows. The stadium is not very full and the game is mid-play. The stadium lights and jumbotron are on.

Guy Fieri: INDEED, I SEEK EXCEPTIONAL FLAVOR.

Picture of an apple orchard. The center front of the image has a sign that says "PLEASE DO NOT PICK FROM THESE TREES. Our fruit needs time to ripen. If you seek exceptional flavor, you must wait. Deliciousness takes time." There is a rope blocking the path down this 'aisle' of apple trees. There is green grass on the aisle with a lush green hill in the background. The apple trees are full of apples.

When the squirrel you see way off in the distance is more important than photoshoot treats.

Sunday Scaries aren't just for people. Couch time reduction: IMMINENT.

Picture of a black lab / pittie mix with her head and paws up on the arm of a couch. There's a blanket on the couch to protect against dog hair but let's be real it ain't doing much. The photo is taken indoors and the dog is staring at the camera in a playful manner.

#photography North of Reading, PA on the closed Shore Drive Bridge (locals call it Graffiti Bridge) over Ontelaunee Lake with a perfect message for this week.

A barrier with graffiti blocking a bridge that is completely covered with graffiti (road, bridge walls, etc). The bridge is overtaken by trees as it crosses the edge of a lake. The barrier in the foreground says "F*CK lCE" among other things. It is near sunset with a cloudy sky in the background and a warm hazy summer day. In the far distance some people are fishing off the bridge.

A beautiful sunset with beams of sunshine radiating from the setting sun, illuminating the sky in glorious rays behind clouds. In the foreground, a depressing parking lot.

And to add to the above comments, some cars like the Kia EV#s and Hyundai Ioniq#s have a "UTILITY MODE" you can turn on so the car is basically off, but the EV battery is energized and directed to power the V2L load.

Screen snip of a YouTube video showing the Utility Mode of a Kia EV6. It says "use the high-voltage battery to power electronic devices connected to the vehicle. Audio, lights, etc can be used when parked for a long time or for camping. To deactivate utility mode, press the start button".

Just cause the sky is sleeping doesn't mean it can't have nightmares. (📷 for @mamafirefly.bsky.social)

Picture of a lightning bolt illuminating the nighttime sky over the Epcot ball outside of Disney World. The bolt zigs and zags across the sky like a snake of plasma, ending in a thick bolt of lightning connecting to the ground behind a tower in the distance. In the foreground is a lake and the Boardwalk hotel illuminated and peaceful against the backdrop of electrical horror.

I was just there in January at the Italian Market location and the place continues to sllllllllap. It's a Top 5 restaurant for me in Center City.

I would also absolutely ignore this node. Meshing on LongFast is a privilege that the wider mesh can revoke if abused.

You can say many things about my city but you can't say it's an ugly city. 😍

Picture of the Philadelphia skyline from high up above. It is a partly cloudy, beautiful summer day. Most of the city's skyscrapers are visible.

Yeah, but have you tried listening to Swedish Death Metal about it?

A window snip showing Foobar2000 playing a bunch of Opeth's albums. The current song playing is "Deliverance" from 2002, from the album of the same name. It is a metal masterpiece.

This exactly describes where I'm at with Ubrelvy. I've got two more samples left and then I get to figure out how much the "savings card" will reduce the astronomical $1,045.81 cost of a 10 pill Rx. I hate this timeline. www.ubrelvy.com/savings

The Kia has this in its trip history! For example here's a drive from Baltimore to the Philly 'burbs just a couple of days ago. (Split into two parts because I stopped to clean the rear windshield.) ▫️Seat + steering wheel heat is binned under "Electronics" ▫️Battery conditioning is "Battery Care"

Screencap of a Kia drive history from Baltimore to Rising Sun, MD. It shows a breakdown of power used by Electronics, Battery Care, Climate, and Drivetrain. It also shows how much power was regenerated on the trip.
