I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Icebergs on Fellsfjara beach at Jökulsárlón in south-east #Iceland, from Feb 2018.
Three small turquoise icebergs on a black sand beach with long exposure making the receding waves have nice white stripes on the beach. Above is grey stormy cloud with a touch of pink sunrise light.

Three views of one of Iceland's ice caves, taken in November 2020. Not many tourists in the country then so I thought I'd take the opportunity to visit when it wasn't too crowded. Wish I'd had longer! #Iceland #Canon5Dmarkiii
View in an ice cave - literally a chamber under a glacier. Some people can be seen at the end giving it some scale. There's a hole at the end letting in light, and the ceiling is a crazy turquoise sculpture.A triangular view out of an ice cave with pale brown almost desert-like mountains visible in the distance under blue skies. There's some reflection of the light on the scalloped ice inside.Looking out of the ice cave where a man is just visible silhouetted against the lighter entrance. Lots of different shades of blue and green and turquoise on the ceiling and walls of the cave, with some snowy bits on the right where a hole in the ice lets the elements in.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Another long exposure and some fun lighting for the #BlueskyArtShow. The #PNW waves at golden hour #lights #nikon #photography #art #PNW
A peaceful shoreline at golden hour, featuring smooth dark rocks scattered along shallow water. Warm orange sunlight from above creates a glowing reflection that stretches across the misty water surface. The long-exposure effect gives the water a soft, ethereal quality while the rounded stones rest in the foreground. The overall scene conveys tranquility and natural beauty.

On this day 12 and a half years ago I saw the coolest ever iceberg. Never seen one like it since. Fellsfjara, Jökulsárlón, #Iceland
A six-foot (ish) high turquoise iceberg with a small friend on a black sand beach. Grey rainy day with some of the turquoise reflected in the blank sand, and long exposure smooth waves breaking.

After having observed such shadows across the sands of sand dunes many times with great pleasure, I finally set about to make photographic captures of them. The trigger to do so on this particular end of day had everything to do with my notice of animal tracks,mostly of lizards and insects. The evidence of passages were nearly everywhere. And most were hardly visible until the sunlight of the sunset was VERY angular and deep. However, the shadows of the sparsely scattered grasses were equally noticeable, as were the finer ripples of the sand grains themselves. Every imaginable detail jumped out in minutiae all across the places not yet fully in shadow.

Shadow Line, Val di Funes Santa Maddalena and the Odle, Val di Funes. Late sun on the peaks while the ridge below goes into shadow. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Fuji #ColorADay #GreenSat #PhotographersofBlueSky #PhotographersUnited #Stunday
A vertical landscape photograph of the Val di Funes in the Italian Dolomites, taken in late afternoon sun under a clear, deep blue sky. The top half is filled by the jagged Odle peaks, a long wall of pale limestone towers and spires lit warm pinkish tan from the left, their gullies and buttresses sharply modeled by the low light. Below them, grey-white scree fans spill onto dark green forested ridges. A hard shadow line runs diagonally across the frame from upper left to lower right: to the left, conifers and bright yellow-green meadows glow in the sun; to the right, the forested slope falls into cool, blue-green shade. Rolling pastures fill the lower half, crossed by a winding road and fences. Near the bottom center sits the small stone church of Santa Maddalena with a tall pointed bell tower, surrounded by white farmhouses with dark wooden balconies. A few parked campervans sit at the edge of the trees on the right.

The image is built on warm and cool contrast. The low, raking light gives the rock real form, and the diagonal shadow splits the frame into a lit, advancing left side and a receding, shaded right. The layers stack cleanly, from meadow to village to forest to peaks, and the church anchors the scale: a human-made structure small enough to make the mountains read at their true size. It works within a well-known alpine view, and its strength is the timing of that shadow line.

Flames appear to dance across a dark background, creating a sense of movement. The warm colours create a vibrant contrast against the shadows.
