the "main cascade" in question

A photo of Portland's Keller Fountain, a monumental, cascading fountain made from trapezoidal columns of heavily oxidized corten steel flanked by pine trees.

Keller Fountain in downtown Portland somehow got labeled as a waterfall, so now the Sniffies AI has completely fabricated something about it being a cruisy wilderness area lol

A screenshot of the Sniffies app that reads, "Cruisers say: 'Keller Waterfall Park in Portland's a secluded spot, tucked right under the falls. It's a natural area where people tend to gather near the water. You'll find different pockets of activity around the main cascade. It's a low-key place, so the vibe is pretty relaxed. People usually drift to the quieter spots near the edges of the falls.'"

forgot I already owned a copy. it's kind of pvssy too....

An edition of "Middlemarch" by George Eliot. The top half of the jacket is light blue with the title stamped in gold foil. The bottom half features a rather eye-watering academic painting by Marcus Stone. The painting depicts a young woman in a white, full-length lace dress seated on a bench beneath an apple tree in a garden. A few apples litter the table which encircles the tree. She is engrossed in the needlework she holds in her hand. Beyond the tree, a marble statue of Cupid stands. In the background, sunlight dapples a lawn surrounded with flowerbeds.

more food pics in case you were worried that I haven't been eating good

A plate holding two large pieces of cornbread, each a nearly perfect cube, griddled to a golden burnished finish. At the side of the plate sits a smear of butter with visible crystal flakes of salt. The plate rests on a vibrant floral print table cloth with red and orange restaurant menus underneath.

A very small ice cream sandwich half-wrapped in shiny red foil. A dust of pistachio lies atop and around the sandwich on its plate.

dropping the exposure a little bit and dialing highlights way down recovers a lot of detail in the skintones, then play with white balance/saturation until you're happy with the color! you can adjust the shadows a little bit to have more or less of your background detail visible as well.

"[T]he glacier is illuminated at certain times of the day by a special radiance and stands in a golden glow with a powerful aureole of rays, and everything becomes insignificant except it."

Three reddish-brown clad cottages stand one begin the other on a hill covered in dried grass. In the background, the hulking white mass of the glacier Mýrdalsjökull rises over gray-brown hills.

pics from the only sunny day in Iceland!

Landscape photo near Sólheimajökull glacier. A rocky foreground gives way to green, lichen-covered ragged hills under a blue sky streaked with thin whisps of clouds. The sun is just beginning to rise over the hills.

A large hill covered in golden-hued heather near Vík í Mýrdal looms over a handful of small houses with colorful roofs.
