This was an incredible panel to visit, and so connected to my photographic history as well. #PPortfolioOnBSky 380
A black and white, portrait orientation, photograph of a large rock art panel, apparently mostly on a horizontal panel facing the sky.  A foreshortened set of 4 concentric circles takes a prominent place bottom center, with scores of additional shapes receding to the end of the panel and mountains beyond, as well as some clouds above.

These are usually underwater, lake was lower a few years back. I suspect there's a spring coming out in the center of that middle circle.
A landscape photograph of a lakeshore at dusk, much of the foreground is strange small shapes of rock coming out of the water in an almost fractal pattern, but with a suspuciously round circle without those detailed shapes in the front center.  The sky and its reflection are peach and pink.

@becklovesbooks.bsky.social runs Prideopoly in June and today is the last day. I wanted to share all, the books I’ve read for this challenge. The ones with the 🏳️‍🌈 were for Prideopoly. It’s been so fun and I never read books this quickly. I’ll list the prompts and books in the next post. 1/2
A tiny cover collage summary of the 10 books I read in June via StoryGraph. The covers not mentioned in the original post are Seams Like Murder, and The Tapestry of Fate.

Thank you! My partner and I are enjoying Prideopoly so much! I printed out the board and gave it to them with a set of sparkly non-binary dice, a non-binary keychain as a game piece, and a gift card to a local bookstore for our anniversary at the beginning of June.

Hi! Here's a question: After finishing my 5th book for Prideopoly, I rolled and landed exactly on Coming Out. I rolled again. Was that right? I mean, there's almost a whole week left of Pride month. I can read one more book, right?

I've only had one opportunity to experience an ice cave, a second excursion a few years later was cancelled (with good reason) because of unsafe conditions. It was magical, I wish I could experience it one more time. #PPortfolioOnBSky 324
A photograph from inside an ice cave, by appearance very abstract.  curves of shades of blue and black curve approximating an upside-down tee, a small pyramid of snow speckled with black pokes into the bottom image toward the right.  The textures of the ice forms are somewhat mottled, the surfaces shiny.

Winter light at Þingvellir. (DYK? For a couple years I had a laptop with an Icelandic keyboard, it had a dedicated Þ key. That wasn't for an Iceland trip, instead I bought it during a 5-hour layover in Iceland on my way to Greenland after the theft of my previous laptop.) #PPortfolioOnBSky 301
A color landscape photograph, mostly sky, with a thin strip of land at the bottom, mostly in shadow.  A snow-covered peak rises from the right and picks up the low peach-yellow light.  A band of clouds, some peach-yellow, some darker, reaches left about halfway up the image,  another band of clouds reaches across the top of the image.

#PPortfolioOnBSky 298 I saw bigger waves in my few crossings of the Drake (allegedly we saw 15m waves at one point), but this is my best attempt to capture the feel of it.
A monochromatic photograph looking through round ship window, wet with spray, late waves breaking in front of dramatic skies.

This isn't perfect, but I love it and it is a single long-exposure shot, not a composite. Rarely for me, this show had a bit of a plan behind it or at least the idea of looking across the bow with a long enough time exposure to render bergy bits in the water with streaks. 1/ #PPortfolioOnBSky 281
A photograph of a passenger ship bow, with 5 figures looking outward, mostly with cameras.  The ship deck has a layer of snow and footprints through it.  Beyond the ship you see grey water with streaks of white, snowy mountains and moody clouds.  The "streaks" of white in the water suggest a great deal of movement.

When I asked @stevielichous.bsky.social to coverup a tattoo they had done of a time turner and replace it with another, they didn’t hesitate to say yes. I will love this Star Trek tattoo for many years to come. #FuckJKR #StarTrek #Tattoo #TattooSanFrancisco #QueerStarTrek
