We made a comic about corporate activism.

2 Employee 2: Or we could donate to LGBTQ charities.

We regret to inform you that your #FootPathFriday pathway is now just a series of logs. *ignore that other thing. We don't talk about side trails... #WestCoastTrail
A cut tree lays on the forest floor cut so that the surface is flat and walkable so it can be used as a pathway through the mud. The surrounding forsst is overgrown, lit by the mid day sun.

@aburtch definitely add it to your list then! I'll also note that the first book (as usual) has lots of world building etc. that at times can make the pace seem slow. The subsequent books speed a lot of this up and IMO is one of the rare series where each subsequent book somehow gets better […]

@aburtch another note - the author has a style of being overly descriptive with specifics about character descriptions and items. Big or small. This is one of those hit-or-miss items. He's self aware in the writing of it, so it's funny if you appreciate the tropes and writing of it. It comes […]

A dense foreground of low tundra shrubs in yellow and green autumn colour sweeps toward a dramatic wall of dark, jagged peaks under a turbulent storm sky, with shafts of light breaking through the cloud cover and illuminating sections of the rock faces and the valley between the summits.

A small cluster of aspen trees in warm golden and yellow autumn foliage stands brilliantly illuminated against a near-black shadowed forest backdrop, their slender white trunks rising from a field of pale dry grass that glows in the same warm directional light. The tight grouping of trees — a tall central trio flanked by smaller companions on either side — gives the scene an intimate, familial quality, as though the trees have gathered closely together. This beautifully lit autumn nature photograph from the Canadian Rockies captures the magic of a single shaft of light finding its subject against the darkness.

A sweeping black and white portrait-orientation photograph looks across the rocky, tufted alpine terrain of Piper Pass toward the jagged, heavily snow-covered peak of Elpoca Mountain in the Canadian Rockies, its dramatic pointed summit piercing a turbulent sky of rolling dark clouds with bright light breaking through from behind. Large dark boulders and clumps of wild grass fill the shadowed foreground, leading the eye along a winding alpine stream through the open valley toward the mountain beyond. The monochrome treatment heightens the contrast between the brooding sky and brilliant snow-covered peak, lending the scene a powerful, timeless quality.

A snow and ice-covered rocky outcrop stands at the base of a massive waterfall, draped in dramatic icicles against a misty white backdrop. The long exposure renders the cascading water as silky smooth curtains of motion, contrasting with the jagged, frozen textures of the rocks below.

A partially frozen mountain stream winds through a rocky, snow-covered valley in the Canadian Rockies, its surface etched with delicate swirling ice patterns that curl elegantly around scattered boulders in the foreground. The iconic three pointed summits of the Three Sisters rise dramatically in the background above Canmore, Alberta, silhouetted against a warm, glowing sunset sky of soft gold and pale blue. This breathtaking fine art winter landscape photograph captures the serene beauty of an alpine creek in winter with one of the Canadian Rockies' most beloved mountain landmarks as a backdrop.

A dramatic jagged mountain peak emerges through swirling mist and brooding storm clouds in this moody black and white Canadian Rockies landscape photograph, its dark rocky summit rising sharply into a luminous break in the grey sky with two distinctive rock spires at its crown that bear a striking resemblance to a hand making a peace sign. The monochrome treatment deepens the contrast between the inky silhouetted foreground ridgelines and the bright, cloud-diffused light illuminating the central peak, amplifying the raw power and theatrical atmosphere of the scene. This striking black and white mountain nature photograph proves that the wilderness has a sense of humour, hiding playful moments of joy within its most dramatic and imposing landscapes.

A solitary evergreen tree and bare, twisting branches emerge from a dense fog in a quiet forest, with soft diffused light filtering through the mist and creating a pale, almost monochromatic scene. The minimal contrast and warm grey tones give the image a calm, meditative mood.

A view from high on the Drakensberg escarpment looking down through a narrow gorge into a broad, lush green valley far below, with a partial rainbow arcing above the sunlit cliff face on the left under a dramatic stormy sky. Dark basalt towers and rocky outcrops frame the foreground on both sides, while the verdant valley floor and rolling green foothills stretch into the distance beneath a break in the clouds. The contrast between the brooding storm overhead and the sunlit landscape below gives the scene a powerful, charged atmosphere.

A dense hillside of snow-laden black spruce trees fills the frame, their dark forms dusted in white and receding up the slope into a band of low cloud that cuts diagonally across the upper portion of the image. Taller foreground trees with heavily snow-covered branches stand out against the uniform texture of the frosted forest behind, with a deep snow-covered valley floor visible along the bottom edge.

A classic autumn alpine landscape featuring vivid golden larch trees surrounding a rocky, still lake that reflects a dramatic snow-dusted mountain peak under a partly cloudy sky. Scattered boulders fill the shallow foreground waters, leading the eye back toward the treeline and the imposing peaks beyond. The rich contrast between the brilliant yellow larches, grey rock faces, and fresh snow captures the brief but spectacular larch season in the Canadian Rockies.

The moody, atmospheric landscape conveys a sense of quiet solitude, with the lone tree slightly off-center and additional trees barely visible through the fog in the background.
