Misty, watery vibes on the northern shore of MN. #photography #landscapephotography #waterfall #waterfallphotography #northshore

Ethereal, almost black and white, long exposure shot of a waterfall at Devil's Kettle in Minnesota. Nothing is visible except the bouncing trails of water as they descend to the dark stream below.

Stars come out to play as the night takes over the sky. We can see the last vestiges of the sunlight over some faraway hills, giving way to stardust and vibrant lights on the right side of the scene.

A green delta passes through a green mountain valley as long grasses and evergreens grow beside it.

A stone bridge overlooks a river cascading through a gorge in New York. Water also drops in from above to the left, just before some stairs ascend to the bridge.

Front and center are rocks forming a natural barrier between the ocean and the beach. The sun hits the beach, painting it orange, but leaves the other side cool and dark.

Goodnight, Sun #photography #landscapephotography #pacificocean

Long exposure shot of the pacific ocean with groups of rocks on each side. The left side rock structure is tall with barnacles on the lower half, suggesting that it has been here for a long time. The right side is shorter but expansive, drifting close to the horizon. We see the colors of sunset, purples and oranges, dance along the water, the rocks, and the sky.

Looking back at the year and some of my favorites. #photography #landscapephotography #travelphotography

A stone bridge overlooks a river cascading through a gorge in New York. Water also drops in from above to the left, just before some stairs ascend to the bridge.

Hills along the California coast, green close to the camera and turning blue as they disappear into the horizon, meet the sea in the center of the image. There's foliage in bloom, wild grasses and bushes, lining the bottom left of the image. You can see the lines of fog, cutting the image in half from left to right.

Sunrise crusted hills featuring green brush and grasses. Two cypress trees look down from the very top.

The warm colors of sunrise illuminate the path of a stream making its way down a New York gorge. You can see the erosion of thousands of years leaving its mark on the rocks above the flow.

Autumn trees overlook a still lake. The reflection in the lake of the treeline above is nearly perfect. The sky is mostly clear, with a twinge of sunrise's last pink vestiges.

A pair of natural stone walls make way for a small stream as lush ivy, trees, and bushes create a green gateway.

A stone path helps travelers walk along the left side of this massive gorge as a stream runs beneath. Fall colors grace the top of the gorge, but those give way to darker tones deeper in.

Level 2 in Lingo done 100%, top to bottom. I love this game but man some of those late game meta puzzles were messed up.

Screenshot of the trophy room in the puzzle game Lingo. There's a display showing 901, representing all puzzles being done. There are four panels to the side with the titles "The Welcoming", "The Knowledgeable", "The Direct", and "The Expert".

Early mornings around Castlewood Canyon #LandscapePhotography #Sunrise #Waterfalls #ColoradoPhotography

The sun breaks through the top-center of this landscape of pine trees, dousing the forest in an orange glow.

A waterfall rushes down the center of a canyon, a barren rock wall on the left of the picture while the right side is more lush and features bushes in bloom. The water pools at the bottom of the waterfall, moving toward a scattering of large rocks further down the canyon.

Somewhere near the alluvial fan #landscapephotography #photography #waterfall #coloradophotography #estespark

Long exposure shot of rushing water flowing right to left along rocks. The rocks are mostly underwater, with only a bit of them poking out of the current. Colors are warm on the rocks, but deceptively cool as you get closer to the water.

Little adventures to big places. #photography #naturephotography #landscapephotography #colorado

A vista from high in the rocky mountains looking down on the road and forests below. The blue mountains on this overcast day extend far into the background, seemingly drawn on forever.

A wide waterfall barrels down the side of a mountain covered in lush, green shrubs and light beige rocks. The long exposure from the camera gives the water a fog like effect.

More #Satisfactory shenanigans, where I learn (painfully) how to appreciate negative space.

Back in #Satisfactory doing some train station shenanigans.

Futuristic train station with clean, white, glossy walls and ceilings. You see a roundabout in the center where eight train tracks come together, set above some still water. Above the water, there is the beginning of a well-lite dome forming the center of the structure.

Along the California coast #landscapephotography

Quiet ocean coastline, jagged with the red-orange tinted rocks lining it. The water is still in the center and the rocks fade into the horizon.

A peaceful hillside and shoreline on Point Lobos. The hills are green from the hundred of small bushes lining them, as if one entity sprawled along the top. The cliffsides are steep and jagged, but beneath lies a calm, blue lagoon.

A large boulder relaxes in a lagoon at point lobos with lens flare coming through the center of the image.

A high-up view of the Monterey Bay coast with a lone cypress tree on the left of the image. Rocks line the bottom, clearly to stop tourists from taking a plunge into the blue ocean below. Clouds pass left to right.

Took a break to build out the T9 factory, but came back to finish this rocket fuel power plant in #Satisfactory. Getting ~169k MW gross power from the setup.

Nighttime picture of a somewhat brutalist structure at night. The building shines where charged with power, and cascading foundations give it the impression of something flowing.

A hallway in Satisfactory with refineries lining the way. Windows give way to show some of the piping behind. The entire image is covered in a soft yellow glow from the powerful lights close to the ceiling.

A view at one end of a fuel generator room in Satisfactory. The hallway, made of coated black concrete, is tight but well lit. Above, you can see bright white lights and a golden pipe system delivering rocket fuel. The floor is glass, letting you see a similar structure below you.

Well-cooled power augmenters on circular platforms over water. There is a faint purple glow emitted from the water, as if chemically treated, complementing the artificially yellow lights on the wall. Narrow platforms connect the augmenters to the rest of the facility on the right.

Post a pic you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline

Small waterfall surrounded by lush, green vegetation as some light breaks in through the top of the image. The exposure time was a couple of seconds, as we see through the foggy, mist-like consistency of the water.
