Is it us or would this shot make a fantastic book (or album) cover? 🧑‍🎨 A heron takes off in-front of the fiery setting sun near the River Thurne. Well done to Will for capturing this incredible shot! 📷 @whulbert-photos.bsky.social

Yes, it is amazing, and a lot of hard work to get there! Going by the comments of people who bought the book at the book-signings, they were interested in finding more about Daoism (Taoism.) Thank you for your question!

This looks like one of Chen Rong's dragon paintings, or maybe an Ink Dragon copy from the Ming? (just been doing a substack post on dragon paintings)

In Chinese mythology, the Kun (鯤) is a colossal fish dwelling in the northern sea, first recorded in Zhuangzi. When it transforms, it becomes the Peng (鵬), a bird so vast its back spans thousands of miles. In flight, its wings darken the heavens like suspended clouds. 1/2 🎨 RLoN

The right outcome. Australia's arts community has spoken—and Creative Australia have reinstated Khaled Sabsabi and curator Michael Dagostino to represent Australia at the Venice Biennale. Huge respect to Khaled and Michael for your dignity throughout this ordeal. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

仁 (ren), the Confucian precept often translated as benevolence or humaneness, exemplified by the human adult instinct to protect children. The Analects also states that if the ruler lacks ren, it will be difficult for his subjects to behave humanely. More of ren, now. [「仁」歐陽詢九成宮醴泉銘]

The extraordinary first photos from the Vera Robins observatory in Chile. Great to see it named after a woman astronomer, after all the controversy with the James Webb telescope. This is the #Trifid and #Lagoon #Nebulas.

On top of that, the swamp wallaby, while still pregnant, is able to ovulate, mate and conceive another foetus while the existing fetus is still in the womb. The new embryo goes through embrionic diapause until the first fetus is born, and then the new embryo starts to develop. Extraordinary!

You could be right. It would certainly explain the regional differences in how the festival is celebrated.
