Where Landscape Dances: An Afternoon with Les Scénographies‑Paysages: Attending yesterday at the Mackenzie King Estate on a clear autumn afternoon was like stepping into a dialogue between movement, memory, and place. #Dance #NAC 🇨🇦

finished product: super crispy and crunchy. I think I took the top off of the dutch oven too soon, a little more brown than my usual boules! next stop... soup!

This meadow along the Healy Pass Trail in Banff is everything I could ask of a meadow. #StunDay
#photography #Canada #hiking #NationalParks

In the foreground, the meadow is covered in purple, red, and yellow flowers. In the background is more green meadow with a scattering of evergreen trees and further back a rock promontory rising along a long ridge.

The ROH is one of the best places in the world to see theatre and dance and opera and all that stuff that makes life worth living. ❤️

Up early, getting the dough ready for baking bread! One batch is olive and cilantro, the other jalapeño and cheddar. Both are for the soup before the turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and pies, leading to the inevitable, well-earned sleep after a perfectly satisfying meal.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

getting all the fixings for bread weighed for baking!

Benjamin’s Eingedenken demands fidelity to silenced fragments of the past; true remembrance resists state closure, keeps ruins visible, and transforms memory into both ethical and political resistance, revealing hope beyond the inevitability of "progress".

Beautiful work as always!

Can you save out your .xmp files from LR? DarkTable will read those files alongside the image source when importing. I didn't have many issues when I transferred over 150k images from LR to DT. mathiashueber.com/migrate-from...

DarkTable. It takes a while to mimic your LR workflows but it is worth the time. I still use Lightroom Classic on an old laptop if needed but my main digital asset manager is DT. It's open source too: www.darktable.org

Finally, typewriters are getting the recognition that they deserve.

More bullshit from the "accountability" crowd. If these cowards had any virtue they would resign.

I wonder what the side dishes would be for this pike meal?

Or did these folks eat a la carte? ❤️

idonthaveacoolname 🇨🇦 @idonthaveacoolname.bsky.social · 3d

Fucking right it will. These fascists need the billionaires to support them and boycotting goods and services hurt their pocketbooks. Since we don't have any leaders in Canada that will stand up for citizens, we must do it ourselves. #boycott

So how much of a bailout will the Ford government give them?

idonthaveacoolname 🇨🇦 @idonthaveacoolname.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah... must suck for him to get that salary and pension benefits for the next few years and then get re-elected and continue to line his own pockets because of voter apathy, media propaganda, and misinformation. Tragic. ;)

Great idea...Let’s get people facing ill health and disabilities to work, only to have them replaced by AI once they’re finally in the job.

The shadow of Mara in Buddhism symbolizes the internal and external forces that hinder spiritual growth. It represents our attachments and fears, pulling us from enlightenment. Overcoming Mara requires confronting both external challenges and the darker aspects of our own nature. #booksky

Laid up with a leg injury and limited mobility, I have turned to audiobooks to supplement my reading. I'm so bored😔

'Living with the Devil' by Stephen Batchelor explores good and evil through Buddhism, framing the devil as anything that blocks freedom and growth.

So destroy more nature for rich people to hit a little ball into a hole? Sounds on-brand for "conservatives" - who don't seem to want to "conserve" anything but the privilege of power and the excesses of wealth hoarding.

PP is just a placeholder until Ford, posing as a 'centrist,' takes over the Federal Conservative Party. Ford thinks he can silence the party's culture warriors, but like Peter MacKay, he'll find out that he can't and the perpetual emotionalism of the angry Right will continue to disrupt our society.

People need to stop with the "it can't happen here" mantra and realize that is already happening here and people needed to start mobilizing yesterday before we lose the freedoms that have been hard won by those who came before us.

lol pubs staying open later to push economic growth is the most late stage capitalism thing that I have read today.

Maybe breaking up the monopoly of wealth that is being hoarded by billionaires and using that to promote innovation is better than promoting alcoholism? I'm no economist though...

I love how your photography exists in a liminal space, balancing the order of human-made objects with the chaos of nature.

As a family, we used to play Stock Ticker which taught me to ruthlessly exploit both workers and resources. Never heard of King Oil though!
