Anybody else see a caustic irony in Monica Hesse’s close of today’s WaPo Style piece on Gloria Steinem’s 1963 Bunny expose being chopped off mid-sentence?

Grand Teton National Park. Center in the background is the Grand Teton, reaching an elevation of 13,775ft /4198.62meters. A good place to see moose, elk and both grizzly and black bears in the forest slopes. #geography #parks #nature #photo #landscape
iconic view from the Snake River Overlook within Grand Teton Park . This specific vantage point was made world-famous by photographer Ansel Adams in 1942. While the trees in the foreground have grown significantly since his time, it remains one of the most photographed spots in the American West.

I drove over to Colman Park and caught the last bit of sunlight on Mount Rainier. I really love the contrast between the deep blue of Lake Washington and the soft alpenglow on the mountain. It made this evening feel special to me. #Seattle #MountRainier #PNWPhotography #SonyAlpha #SonyA7RV
Mount Rainier rises in the distance beyond Lake Washington, lit by warm evening alpenglow on its snowy upper slopes. A dark tree-lined shoreline stretches across the middle of the frame, with a few homes tucked among the trees. In the foreground, the lake shows bands of deep blue and pale reflected light, with gentle ripples moving across the water. The photo feels calm, quiet, and reflective.
