In case anyone ever wondered what the far north of Greenland looks like, this is it (from my flight earlier this month). I like to think the orange lights are from the elf workshop, not just reflections from inside the cabin.
Northern Greenland as seen from a Boeing 747 in December 2025.






Luxurious raisin forests cover the ground, while a cheese monster digs a large hole.

Good morning. Dry & cool in Tokyo today. Doing a bit of catchup work in the office. Mentoring session online later with one of my clients in Australia. Fairly chilled but productive day in prospect. Couple of shots from the i-Link Tower in Ichikawa for #Stunday. More in the ALT. Luv&peace ❤️🙏
Stitched panorama of the view of Tokyo from the i-Link Tower in Ichikawa, Chiba. This 43floor viewing deck is one of the best views of the city on a good day. Here we see the Skytree almost dead centre in the composition. With distant Shinjuku skyscrapers behind. Mount Fuji is in the very back of the left hand side of the frame. Orangey sky. Lots of clouds. The top of Fuji is covered by clouds. Just close to sunset. Stitched panorama of the view of Tokyo from the i-Link Tower in Ichikawa, Chiba. This 43floor viewing deck is one of the best views of the city on a good day. Here we see the Skytree almost dead centre in the composition. With distant Shinjuku skyscrapers behind. Mount Fuji is in the very back of the left hand side of the frame. Pink tines prevail. This was the perfect dusk scene.

This is at about 70% throttle. New motor we’ve put in this is insane. Full power it’s around 70kph.

Crossing Arakawa
The reflection of an almost full moon on the water crosses the reflection of a passing Keisei line on an iron bridge, making us wonder if it is time to repent for all our sins, although this is the Good Place so we’re probably fine. I am also crossing the river on the way home on my bicycle last night. Ain’t language a blast?

2 silhouettes
Silhouette of mejiro pecking at a white plum blossom at the top of a tree that is beginning to bloom. Against another silhouette, the top part of the Tokyo Skytree. It is almost as if the bird is posing there on purpose. Blue sky.

When I moved to Japan after about a year I tried it out social media. Now. I have a whole community on Twitter. A gang of the like minded carefully curated friends. Real people Now…. How in the name of god and am I a grown ass man supposed to do it all over again here…..

🇯🇵 The view of the mountains from the front yard this morning is worthy of applause. Everyone in my tiny village here in Japan is so used to it that nobody looks up. It’s like the cacophony of sound in New York City that the natives are oblivious to 🗽

🇯🇵 I just found this eraser. It probably cost ¥80 or so like 60¢ US. In Japan it would be unthinkable to take the lost eraser. I propped it up where someone could find it. The default is returning things/not stealing here. It’s wild. You can loose anything and have it returned 👨🏾‍🚀
