When I came upon this wonderful grove of lenga trees in Argentinian Patagonia, I could not pass up the opportunity. The dead branches & beautiful black trunks add an interesting graphical element to a sea of autumn colors.

“Something dramatic has happened.

Many people who consider themselves non-political or independent, or moderate Republican, or who even voted for Trump last November, can’t avoid seeing what’s now come so clearly into the open.
And they’re finding it terrifying.

That Beautiful Pre-Dawn golden hour #glow

Glacier National Park September ’25

#BlueSkyArtShow #NationalParks #nature #scape #landscape #artyear #EastCoastKin

The scene is centered on a still lake that mirrors the world above it with remarkable clarity. Dark mountain silhouettes rise on both sides, framing the water like protective sentinels. Their sharp, shadowed ridges descend into soft, hazy valleys that fade into the distance. The sky glows with the quiet promise of sunrise — a band of warm orange and rose light rests just above the horizon, softening upward into pale lavender and finally the deep indigo of lingering night.

The lake’s surface is glass-smooth, reflecting the dawn colors so precisely that the boundary between water and sky nearly disappears. A faint breath of mist drifts across the water’s surface, blurring the line between reflection and reality. The left shoreline is lined with dense, dark evergreens, forming a clean edge that contrasts with the glowing sky.

“Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Friday that the U.S. will allow Qatar to build an Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, where Qatari F-15 fighter jets and Qatari pilots will train alongside US troops.”

open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Really? Qatar gets its own air force facility inside the United States? Why?

When Trump is fighting the "enemy within" America and kicking out anyone who can't prove they belong here?

Saint-Nicolas is a village in the Aosta Valley at 1200m above sea level with a population of 332 people.
The image shows a forest with trees in typical autumn colors, with leaves ranging from green to deep yellow. In the background, a snow-capped mountain and the village bell tower stand under a partly cloudy sky. A green meadow in the foreground contrasts with the warmer colors of the forest.
